TitleKnox, John Henderson: certificate of election to the Royal Society
Date1977
DescriptionCitation typed
CitationDistinguished for his contributions in the fields of reaction kinetics and chromatography. As early as 1955 Knox pioneered the application of gas chromatography to gas kinetics and subsequently made significant contributions to the elucidation of the mechanism of the slow combustion of hydrocarbons and of the role of vibrationally excited free radicals in the chlorination of olefins. From 1964 he initiated new work on band spreading mechanisms in chromatography which had an important effect on the development of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) over the next decade. Subsequently, he has made further contributions, both theoretical and experimental to the understanding and improvement of HPLC techniques and since 1973, supported by a substantial grant from the Wolfson Foundation, has stimulated industrial developments in this field.
