Chemical Engineering - Dr.John W. Zondlo

We earlier cited some of John Zondlo's work, we think "Stiller, A.H., J.-P. Wann, D. Tian, J.W. Zondlo and D.B. Dadyburjor, "Co-Processing of Agricultural and Biomass Waste with Coal," Fuel Proc. Technol., in press (1996)" to be one of the sunbmissions. Is anyone/everyone comfortable sending his contact particulars and the info about his work to the journalists we've been copying in? None of them have expressed rabid interest, but, if they actually had someone to talk to, it might help. Does James Dean have similar curriculum vitae, as below?

"Dr. Zondlo's research program is centered around the investigation of fundamental phenomena underlying coal utilization and processing. Much of the work is process oriented and touches on the areas of reaction engineering, solution chemistry and the use of catalysts in synthetic fuels production. Currently, a class of novel solvents is being studied for use in the extraction and separation of clean solid and liquid carbonaceous materials from coal at mild conditions. In addition, novel coal liquefaction catalysts are being developed and tested in a variety of liquefaction reactor configurations. Finally the use of coal as a precursor for the manufacture of value-added carbon products is being investigated.
