Shanxi Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Shanxi Institute of Coal Chemistry was founded in Dalian in October 1954 and was named the Coal Research Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 1961, it was moved to Taiyuan and expanded into the Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. From 1966 to 1978, it was renamed the Institute of Fuel Chemistry. In 1978, it was renamed the Shanxi Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
After more than 40 years of development, Shanxi Coal Chemical Institute has become one of my country’s important scientific research institutions engaged in strategic high-tech research and development in the field of coal energy. Focus on the efficient and clean utilization of coal in my country and major basic, strategic, comprehensive and forward-looking scientific and technological topics in related fields. At the same time, attention will be paid to the research on the application and development of new carbon materials and fine chemical technologies. The main disciplines are: coal chemistry and chemical engineering, catalytic chemistry, new carbon materials and chemical engineering. It has the National Key Laboratory of Coal Conversion, the Chemical Research and Development Department, the Engineering Research Center and the Carbon Materials Research Laboratory, as well as the gasification chamber, liquefaction chamber, design laboratory and engineering consulting center. It has formed a team from basic research, applied research to process development. A relatively complete structural system for scientific research and development.
The institute currently has 621 employees, including 393 scientific and technical personnel, 1 academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 40 researchers (including full-time senior engineers), 96 associate researchers and senior engineers, research assistants and engineers 174 people, the rest are management staff and other auxiliary staff. The institute attaches great importance to postgraduate training and has the right to confer doctoral degrees in the disciplines of physical chemistry and chemical technology and the right to confer master's degrees in the disciplines of physical chemistry, chemical technology, chemical engineering, organic chemistry and materials. It has a postdoctoral mobile station in the discipline of physical chemistry. Currently, there are 120 graduate students in the institute, including 77 doctoral students, 42 master students, and 1 postdoctoral fellow.
Over the past 45 years, the institute has been highly valued and strongly supported by leaders at all levels from the country, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shanxi Province, and has undertaken a number of major research, key applied research and fund projects from the country, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and provincial ministries and commissions. or topic. According to the needs of national economic construction and development, since its establishment, the institute has successively carried out comprehensive utilization centered on coal classification, coking coal blending and coal oil refining, basic organic synthesis based on coal and petroleum, coal gasification, coal Research on liquefaction, new carbon materials, gas purification, supercritical extraction, coal-to-activated carbon, briquettes and humic acid has played an irreplaceable role in China's national economic construction, resource development and rational utilization, and the development of emerging disciplines. ***Achieved more than 300 important scientific and technological achievements, applied for and obtained more than 100 patents, and published more than 3,500 papers.
International cooperation has become increasingly active. It has established long-term and extensive scientific and technological exchanges and exchanges of expert and scholar visits with more than 20 countries and regions, including the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and Poland, and has carried out various Project collaborative research. It has successfully held many large-scale international conferences on coal utilization, C1 chemistry, chemical fluidization, etc.
The Document Network Information Center has a collection of 50,000 books, more than 800 kinds of periodicals, and 150,000 volumes of journals, including more than 470 Chinese and foreign current journals. The China Science and Technology Network established within the institute can query scientific and technological information from all over the world, providing good information services for scientific and technological personnel. The institute is responsible for editing two academic journals, "Journal of Fuel Chemistry" and "New Carbon Materials". The number of patent applications filed by patent offices is increasing year by year, effectively protecting relevant intellectual property rights.
The institute follows the spirit of “realism, truth-seeking, collaboration and innovation” and will give full play to the advantages of multiple disciplines, sophisticated equipment and high-level talents in the national knowledge innovation project, striving to be a leader in clean coal technology Occupy a place at the forefront of the technological field, form a strong scientific and technological strategic reserve in clean coal strategic energy high-tech and environmentally friendly technologies, and promptly transform innovative technologies with major changes into real productivity, in the development of new carbon material high-tech industries Provide support in all aspects and continue to promote the industrialization of fine chemical technology to make greater contributions to the sustainable development of the national economy in the new century.
