Xiao Wende’s main academic achievements:

1. Proposed a new calculation method for complex thermodynamic systems where phase equilibrium and chemical equilibrium exist. It was published in AIChEJ magazine and cited by others more than 10 times.

2. In terms of non-stationary catalysis, 7 research papers have been published abroad, 5 of which were published in Chemical Engineering Science, proposing new mathematical models and calculation methods, and proposing new flow direction transformation reactions. The device has obtained a national invention patent and received support from the National Planning Commission's "Ninth Five-Year Plan" key scientific and technological research plan. It has built 5 sets of industrial units in the country and recycled SO2 to produce more than 200,000 tons of sulfuric acid every year. This work has been presented at international special conferences (USPC) many times.

3. In terms of flue gas desulfurization, a green chemical route with resource reuse and 100% atom economy has been innovatively proposed. Ammonia is used as the desulfurizer to recover SO2 in the flue gas and produce ammonium sulfate fertilizer (overseas The technology uses limestone as the desulfurization agent, which produces useless gypsum as a by-product, causing secondary pollution and a waste of resources. The atom economy is 0). Based on computer simulations, a desulfurization device was proposed that can handle huge amounts of flue gas and trace concentrations and integrate heat transfer humidification, chemical absorption, ammonium sulfite oxidation, ammonium sulfate crystallization, mist removal, dust removal and other multi-functional desulfurization devices. The characteristics of shower tower, packed tower, bubble tower and stirred tank are multifunctional reactors at the forefront of chemical engineering, and an optimized engineering complete set of technologies has been proposed. This technology has applied for and obtained 10 domestic invention patents and 1 international invention patent, and has been continuously supported by the National Planning Commission’s “Ninth Five-Year Plan” key research projects and the National Ministry of Science and Technology’s “Tenth Five-Year Plan” 863 Plan.

4. In terms of flue gas denitration, we have also innovatively proposed a green chemical route that is resource-recyclable and 100% atom-economical (ammonia reduction technology is used abroad, which consumes precious raw materials and turns them into waste). The bionic catalytic technology of NO was proposed for the first time in the world, and the ammonia/aminocobalt complex multifunctional catalyst was discovered, which simultaneously promoted the absorption of NO and O2, oxidized NO, and recycled NO into nitrate fertilizer. This project received key support from the National Natural Science Foundation of China during the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and applied for and obtained 6 national invention patents. Research papers were published in IEC Research and Environmental Science.

5. In terms of green chemistry, the process of co-producing dimethyl carbonate and glycol from the reaction of CO2, ethylene oxide/propane and methanol was studied. The principles of reactive distillation and extractive distillation were applied to obtain many results. 1 invention patent, and applied for an international invention patent. The paper was published in Chemical Engineering Science, Fluid Phase Equilibrium and cited more than 20 times by others. At the 16th and 17th International Conference on Chemical Reaction Engineering (ISCRE), the paper won the Young Scholar Award. It has aroused the interest of companies such as Shell, hoping to cooperate in the development of large-scale production technology.

6. In terms of C1 chemistry, the fluidized bed was applied to the one-step synthesis of dimethyl ether from synthesis gas, and the national invention patent was obtained. The research paper was published in Chemical Engineering Science and the electronic magazine IJCRE. Download the full text 130 Second-rate. In the production of ethylene glycol from synthesis gas, a new structured industrial catalyst was proposed based on the three-scale approach of catalysis, reactor and process, and the precious metal loading was reduced by 90%. This project is supported by Shanghai’s major industrialization plan for revitalizing the city through science and technology. The research paper was published in Applied Catalysis.

7. In terms of biomass chemical industry, it is planned to focus on sugar chemical industry and alcohol chemical industry, and research and develop sustainable production technology for the production of diols and polyols using sugar and alcohol as raw materials.

At present, *** has published more than 50 academic papers, 16 of which are included in SCI. It has applied for 28 national invention patents, obtained 16 national invention patents, applied for 2 international invention patents, and published the book " Sulfur dioxide removal and recovery.
