He successfully combined an industrial career, managing a research division at DSM, and an academic one, as a professor of Delft Technical College. His contributions spanned a wide range of research fields, and his name is linked to the van Krevelen–Hoftyzer diagram for chemical gas absorption, the Mars–van Krevelen mechanism for catalytic oxidation reactions, the van Krevelen–Chermin method to estimate the free energy of organic compounds, the van Krevelen diagram that is used in coal and coal processes, the van Krevelen method to calculate additive properties of polymers, and the van Krevelen–Hoftyzer relationship on the viscosity of polymer fluids. He authored numerous scientific publications and several classic monographs, amongst which are Coal: Typology, Chemistry, Physics, Constitution and Properties of Polymers: Correlations with Chemical Structure. His name is retained in the author listing for the planned fifth edition for this book out of tribute to his vast contribution with the blessing of his son Laurens van Krevelen.vizualizați mai puține
