1. Brief introduction to State Key Laboratory of Materials-Oriented Chemical Engineering
The State Key Laboratory of Materials-Oriented Chemical Engineering (MCE) of Nanjing Tech University (NJTech) was established in October, 2007, with the official approval of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’s Republic of China. The director ofMCEis Prof. Jin Wanqin. The chief scientist is Academician Xu Nanping. The main discipline of Chemical Engineering and Technology, for whichMCEwas built, originated from the Departments of Chemical Engineering at former National Central University and Jinling University, and is one of the earliest chemical engineering disciplines in China. As one of the first group of national key disciplines approved in 2007, our discipline was rated A in the fourth round of discipline evaluation by the Ministry of Education in 2017, and ranked 3rd in the best subject ranking lists in China. With the great support ofMCE, NJTech has entered the top 1‰ globally in itsESIcomprehensive ranking, Chemistry ranking, and Material ranking.
MCE’s main academic thoughts are based on the “applications of chemical engineering principles and methodologies to the development and processing of novel materials” and the “development of advanced chemical engineering unit operation technologies and theories based on new materials”. The program aims to resolve the bottleneck problems in energy, resources and environment that are restraining the sustainable development of processing industry, through exploiting the relations between the functions, structures and applications of the materials. Under the national goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality,MCEaims for the efficient utilization and substitution of carbon-containing mineral resources in the process industry as its primary goal, developing the equipment and technology of low-carbon process industry via process reengineering.MCEdrives integrated research through interdisciplinary subjects (Chemical Engineering and Technology, Bioengineering and Technology, Materials Science and Engineering, Energy and Environment), elite scientists worldwide, and talents from prestigious international scientific institutions. Through years of development,MCEhas formed a research team with 4 academicians as leaders and nearly 200 full-time personnel, among whom 90 are members of national-level talent programs.MCEalso boasts the “Special Separation Membrane” innovation group supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, 4 innovation teams funded by the Ministry of Education, and innovation teams in key areas funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology.
MCEleads cutting-edge research in the areas of membrane materials and processes, bio-based materials, cementing materials, and mesoscale transfer. In recent years,MCEhas made new breakthroughs in the fields of hydrogen energy, battery materials, and integrated coupling technology based on new materials. In the past decade,MCEhas undertaken a number of national-level major research projects, including 2NSFCmajor projects, 7 national “973” projects, and 14 national key R&D projects. The research accomplishments have been published under influential research articles in top-notch journals such as Nature and Science, and have received numerous national-level scientific and technological awards.MCEhas won 11 Second Class Prizes of the National Science and Technology Award, and accumulated economic benefits of tens of billions inCNY, realizing the direct contribution of original achievements to the national economy.MCEhas significantly improved its domestic and international status and influence in related disciplines, and played an important role in developing national science and technology, promoting social progress and economic growth, and safeguarding national security.
MCEis unique in the industrialization of basic research results.MCEhas cooperated with a number of local governments and industry leaders in building innovation platforms, and has formed a set of incentive mechanisms for the industrialization of achievements in scientific research.MCEhas implemented over 1,000 scientific and technological achievements, and cultivated more than 10 listed companies includingJIUWUHI-TECH. The economic benefits generated reach tens of billions ofCNY. For instance,MCE已成功开发专业肥料佛吗r rice using bio-based materials, which was designated by Academician Yuan Longping as the specialty fertilizer for “super hybrid rice”. At present, 20% of special compound fertilizers produced in China have adopted this technology.MCEhas also developed the world’s first complete set of engineering technology for zero discharge of pulping tail water based on membrane separation technique.MCEsolves social development problems by means of technology, which has been fully receives wide recognition by all sectors of society.
MCEaims for the strategic goals of internationalization, strengthening international cooperation, and building a platform for the introduction and cooperation of overseas talents, having devised the means for engaging prominent overseas talents effectively.MCEhas hosted a series of important international academic conferences on material and chemical engineering, such as ICOM2014, PPEPPD2010, ISIM2013, AMS2013 and SCPPE2016, and undertaken 15 international cooperation projects, such asNSFCprojects for International (Regional) Cooperation and Exchange, andNSFCprojects for Joint Research Fund for Overseas Chinese, Hong Kong and Macao Scholars.MCEhas also carried out extensive cooperative research with more than 20 famous overseas universities and research institutions.
MCEsincerely invites talents from all over the world to form a scientific and technological innovation team with international influence in the field of Materials-orientated Chemical Engineering.
