DR. DAVID E. HYATT
A.B.(cum laude) Chemistry, Colgate University, 1964
M.S. Inorganic Chemistry, University of Illinois, 1966
Ph.D. Inorganic Chemistry, University of Illinois, 1968
Dr. David E. Hyatt is currently employed as Senior Research Chemist at ADA
Technologies, Inc, in Englewood, Colorado. Dr. Hyatt has over twenty years of experience
in conducting and managing research and development projects in the chemical,
metallurgical, and environmental fields. He has served as Principal Investigator in 7 SBIR
Phase I programs and 5 SBIR Phase II programs funded by the EPA, HHS, and DOE.
During the course of these investigations Dr. Hyatt has developed instrumentation for
analysis of trace levels of various gases of environmental or industrial hygiene interest, has
developed unique technology for the recovery of values from spent catalysts and has
demonstrated technology for the economical destruction of hazardous wastes.
Prior to joining ADA, Dr. Hyatt served as Manager of R&D for Chemical and
Metal Industries, Inc. in which capacity he developed technology for recovering antimony
values from spent catalyst and for processing hazardous wastes from the recovery process.
He also developed a unique process for the recovery of various metal values from spent
petroleum catalyst and for eliminating a hazardous waste source by this recovery. Both of
these processes were initially developed under SBIR programs funding and both processes
have been awarded U.S and foreign patents.
Dr. Hyatt has also participated in the development of a novel process for the
removal of pyrite from coal by a dry magnetic separation technique and is co-author of two
U.S. patents covering the technology of this process. He has experience in the field of
heterogeneous catalyst development and has participated in the development of novel
chlorination, oxychlorination, and halocarbons oxidation catalysts. Dr. Hyatt served as
Senior Environmental Engineer at the Colorado School of Mines Research Institute, and
in this capacity was a principal participant in the successful completion of field sampling
programs, conducted by Calspan Corporation and the U.S. EPA, to set Effluent Guidelines
for the nonferrous mining and metals industries in the United States.
Dr. Hyatt has been involved in the development of a novel analyzer for the
detection and quantitation of trace levels of xenon leaking from systems in which this rare
gas is used as a heat transfer medium. He has also been involved in the custom
modification of gas chromatographic systems for the analysis of corrosive streams
(chlorine/hydrogen chloride/water) and for the analysis of trace halocarbons and
chlorofluorocarbons in air and in hazardous solid wastes. He has managed a full service
laboratory with atomic absorption spectroscopy, gas chromatography, fire assay, and coal
analyses capabilities and is familiar with the protocols and sampling requirements to
support analyses in these areas.
