HISTORY
AND PURPOSE
This
award was established in 1953 as the "Journal of Metals Award"
by the Blast Furnace, Coke Oven and Raw Materials Committee of AIME.
The name and award rules were changed in 1960 to the "Ironmaking
Conference Award", The name and award rules were again changed
in 1982 to the "Josef S. Kapitan Ironmaking Conference Award"
then divided into the “Josef S. Kapitan Ironmaking Best Paper
Award” and the “Josef S. Kapitan Cokemaking Best Paper
Award” in 2005. This award is presented to the author of a
cokemaking & ironmaking technical paper judged by the AIST Cokemaking & Ironmaking Technology Committee to be the best submitted, for the conference at which it was presented.
