Designated topics
Topic 1 Efficient reaction/Green catalyst
Efficient chemical reactions can maximize the utilization of raw materials and reduce by-products. Catalyst can improve the reaction rates, selectivity and conversion rate of chemical reaction. Green catalyst is eco-friendly, does not produce additional pollution in the chemical process. The development of new high-efficiency reactions or green catalysts has big significance in the green chemistry.
Target：
Develop new and efficient reactions, prepare green catalysts to achieve green chemical process.
Required Competencies: Chemistry/Chemical Engineering
Topic 2 Continuous flow chemistry
Continuous flow chemistry is a new chemical reaction that occurs in a continuously flowing stream, microchannel reaction is a typical flow chemical process. Compared with traditional batch reactors, Microchannel reaction has a lot of advantages, such as higher mass/heat transfer efficiency, continuous operation, more controllable of process conditions, and more energy-efficient, safety, eco-friendly etc.. Microchannel reaction is widely used in many industries such as pesticides, medicines, fine chemical products, and intermediate synthesis.
Target：
Develop efficient continuous flow reactions and microchannel reactors
