In 1958 he accepted an invitation to become chief of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Chemical Engineering Section.When the Section was replaced in 1962 by the Chemical Engineering Division: Pratt stayed on as Division Chief until 1978. After his time at the CSIRO, Pratt became visiting Professor at the University of Melbourne's Department of Chemical Engineering until his retirement in 1999. Pratt's many publications inckuded the influential book Countercurrent separation processes (1967). The Clive Pratt Scholarship is awarded by the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, University of Melbourne, to higher degree students in chemical engineering. Pratt's contribution to chemical engineering, in particular solvent extraction was recognised by a number of organisations. In 1953 he received the Senior Moulton Medal form the Institute of Chemical Engineers. In 1983 he received an award from the Industry Standard Engineers and Consultants (ISEC) then in 1984 the Chemeca medal from the Australian and New Zealand Federation of Chemical Engineers. He also received the Kernot Memorial Medal from the University of Melbourne in 1991. 1931 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc), University of London 1934 1945 Career position - Research Chemist (later Chemical Engineer), ICI Industries 1945 1949 Career position - Chief Chemical Engineer, BX Plastics 1949 1958 Career position - Group Leader (Deputy Chief Scientific Officer), Chemical Engineering Division, Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE), Harwell, United Kingdom 1950 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE), Harwell, United Kingdom 1953 1953 Award - Senior Moulton Medal, Institute of Chemical Engineers 1957 Award - Senior Doctoral Degree, Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE), Harwell, United Kingdom 1958 1958 Life event - Settled in Australia 1958 1962 Career position - Chief, Chemical Engineering Section, Commonwealth Industrial and Scientific Research Organ 1962 1973 Career position - Chief, Division of Chemical Engineering, Commonwealth Industrial and Scientific Research Organ 1973 1981 Career position - Visiting Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Melbourne 1982 1999 Career position - Associate Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Melbourne 1983 1983 Award - Industry Standard Engineers and Consultants (ISEC) Award 1984 1984 Award - Chemeca Medal, Engineers Australia Chemical College, Royal Australian Chemical Institute, Institution of Chemical Engineers in Australia, and IChemE in New Zealand 1991 1991 Award - Kernot Memorial Medal, for distinguished engineering achievement in Australia.
