Herbert H. Anderson (1913 – 2001)[1][2] was an American organic chemist, a member of Glenn Seaborg's Met Lab group at Chicago during the Manhattan Project.[3] Anderson was a co-inventor, with Larned B. Asprey, of the PUREX process for plutonium and uranium extraction.
After leaving the Met Lab, Anderson was at Harvard until 1952[4] and then for many years (at least 1953–1967) at the Chemistry Department, Drexel Institute of Technology, Philadelphia.[5]
