Joseph Arcas (1860 – 1929) was born in Smyrna (Izmir) son of Emmanuel Arcas and Marie Çohaci. He move to Alasehir (the old Philadelphia) and bought a farm. He became a successful raisin and grain merchant. In 1920, during the Greek occupation, he was refused by the Greek Authorities the right to harvest the crops of his properties. His business came to an end. The Arcas Family with my father, Albert Arcas, in charge continued to own the farm and house till approximately 1948.

Joseph Arcas and Alice Issaverdens had 7 children, only 4 reached adulthood. They were raised in Salihli from approximately 1890 to 1920. Albert on the left and Blanche on the right were the two oldest ones who reached adulthood. (ca. 1899) Grand-maman Alice Issaverdens grew up in Izmir. Life in Anatolia must have been difficult for a city girl. Her father’s family originally from Nakhitchevan with Armenian Catholic background were brought to Izmir with many other families of the same origin by the Dominicans. They joined the French Community of Izmir, went to Saint Polycarpe and spoke French. They were active in commerc

Continuous Heterogeneously Catalyzed Oxidation of Benzyl Alcohol in a Ceramic Membrane Packed-Bed Reactor

Hutchings, Simon Kuhn, Asterios GavriilidisA ceramic membrane reactor was investigated for the continuous catalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol with oxygen. The reactor had a concentric configuration. An inner tube created an annulus for the catalyst packed-bed (0.9 wt % Au–Pd/TiO2, particle size 90–125 μm) through which the liquid phase (benzyl alcohol, neat or dissolved in o-xylene) flowed. This was followed by the tubular ceramic membrane, which consisted of layers of alumina and a zirconia top layer with a nominal average pore size of 50 nm. The role of the membrane was to provide an interface for gas and liquid to come in contact. Pure oxygen was fed to the opposite side of the membrane in the outer shell of the reactor. Temperature affected conversion but not selectivity, possibly because of insufficient supply of oxygen. However, increasing catalyst contact time or decreasing benzyl alcohol concentration improved selectivity and conversion, indicating that a key parameter was the balance between oxygen supply
