At that time, Arthur succeeded Manson to head Process Development. So Arthur and I had over 4 years working on various innovative programs, mostly dealing with particulate systems, e.g., high-pressure partial oxidation of anthracite silt for making ammonia, low-temperature packed-bed regenerator for air separation, and cross-flow moving bed for hypersorption. While I was with HRI, there was a US directive that Chinese nationals with science or engineering background should not return to China. I waited until 1956 when relaxation of the directive came into effect. So I took my family returning to China.展开更多
