Additional information

His Ph.D. thesis was based on the production of aluminum by the carbothermic reduction and chlorination of bauxite for which a related British Patent has been granted. From 1972–74 Dr. Peacey was a Professional Assoc, in the Dept. of Mining and Metallurgical Engineering, McGill University.

He received his B.A.Sc. and M.A.Sc. degrees in Met. Eng. at the Univ. of British Columbia and his Ph.D. at the Royal School of Mines, London, England. He has worked for the Linde Div. of the Union Carbide Corp. and has been a consultant for a number of Canadian metallurgical and chemical companies. Dr. Davenport is the coholder of several patents on the electrodeposition of aluminum from organic electrolytes.
