The reduction of the number of boiler tube failures to a minimum is now a matter of national importance. Revolutionary improvement is not expected in the nature of the tubes. Tubes fail rapidly by local, and less rapidly by general, corrosion. The removal of scale by shot blasting before use will reduce the extent of losses due to pitting, and so will additions of 0·2–0·5 per cent of copper. Metallurgical data regarding tubes, and chemical data regarding feed waters are summarized in the paper, from the author's extensive records. After discussing how corrosion occurs at cracks in oxide, scale, or paint, suggestions are made for preventing corrosion in locomotive, marine, and stationary boilers. Recommendations include simplification and standardization of boiler water tests by a suitable British Standards Committee, and the suggested Specification is sketched in outline. The paper is concluded by Appendixes comprising (i) a questionnaire (with answers) on the present-day practice as regards the manufacture of boiler tubes in Great Britain; (ii) a list of reports published by the American Railroad Engineering Association; and (iii) a bibliography of selected items on corrosion, for the index prepared and maintained at the Chemical Research Laboratory, Teddington.

In opening the “discussion on catalytic reactions at high pressures,” one of us (G. T. M.) referred to experiments made in the Chemical Research Laboratory of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research which had led to the isolation of notable quantities of ethyl alcohol among the condensation products from carbon monoxide and hydrogen interacting at high temperatures and pressures in presence of catalysts. These experiments were first described in March, 1928, and since that date statements have appeared in the scientific press to the effect that ethyl alcohol is a possible exception to the whole sequence of higher alcohols which can be produced by such interactions. Moreover during the above-mentioned discussion Mr. M. P. Appleby, speaking on behalf of the Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd., Billingham, said “that in our experience we have never succeeded in obtaining, with any catalyst whatsoever, more than a mere trace of ethyl alcohol.” To the latter statement we take no exception whatever. It is a record of personal experience. But we felt that it was desirable to substantiate our earlier experiments by such corroborative evidence as would leave no doubt that ethyl alcohol is a product of high pressure synthesis.

The International Conference on Heteroatom Chemistry (ICHAC) is an established international forum for the presentation and discussion of research results in the diverse fields of heteroatom chemistry. Previous ICHAC meetings have been held in different countries: 1987 (Kobe, Japan); 1989 (Albany, NY, USA); 1992 (Riccione, Italy); 1995 (Seoul, Korea); 1998 (London, Ontario, Canada); 2001 (Łódź, Poland); 2004 (Shanghai, China); 2007 (Riverside, CA, USA); and 2009 (Oviedo, Spain). To celebrate its 10th anniversary, ICHAC returned to Japan, the first ICHAC host country. The ICHAC series has been organized mostly every three years, but now is a biennial event beginning with ICHAC-9 in Spain.Continuing the successful ICHAC series, ICHAC-10 covered many areas around the central topic of heteroatom chemistry. Following the long tradition of these conferences, ICHAC-10 was a major scientific event, bringing together organic and inorganic chemists all over the world to share their interests in the different areas of heteroatom chemistry. As usual, this conference served as a professional forum to disseminate scientific knowledge. Synthesis, structure, and reactivity, including catalysis, theoretical methods, and material aspects, constituted the major themes of ICHAC-10. This issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry presents the selected plenary, invited, and commemorative lectures at ICHAC-10.ICHAC-10 was held 20-25 May 2012 at Uji Obaku Plaza, Kyoto University, and the conference program consisted of 7 plenary and 17 invited lectures, 3 memorial lectures celebrating the 10th event in the ICHAC series, as well as 43 short communications and 154 poster presentations. We had 371 participants (92 from abroad) from 28 countries. All the participants may have found a fruitful environment at ICHAC-10 for personal contact and scientific exchange, and experienced useful interactions between chemists of different areas. As for the poster presentations by students, the organizing committee selected 9 posters for the student poster awards, and the best 3 of them were awarded as IUPAC poster awards in ICHAC-10.Although ICHAC-10 was originally scheduled to take place in the summer of 2011, we postponed it to 2012 owing to the effects of the earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011 and the following accident in the Fukushima nuclear power plant. On this occasion, I would like to express our sincere thanks for the worldwide support and sympathy given to the victims of this unprecedented disaster and also for the patience and cooperation concerning the postponing of ICHAC-10.As a chair of ICHAC-10, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the kind support by IUPAC, the Chemical Society of Japan, the Society of Silicon Chemistry Japan, the Kinki Chemical Society Japan, and the Institute for Chemical Research, Kyoto University, and also the great assistance and contribution from many foundations and companies related to heteroatom chemistry.ICHAC-11 will be held in Caen (France) in June 2014 and will be hosted by Prof. Annie-Claude Gaumont of ENSICAEN-Université de Caen Basse-Normandie.Norihiro TokitohConference Editor
