Division of Applied Chemistry and Technology

Green process engineering is concerned with the engineering technology of comprehensive resource utilization under recycling economy rules in process industries (such as chemical engineering, metallurgy, and medicine). Since 1979, there have been many research projects in this research field including state key projects, natural science foundation projects and technical reconstruction projects from enterprises. The primary focus of the research includes new separation and purification processes for rare metals (such as rare earths, gold, nickel, cobalt, and germanium), medicine, naturally active substances, waste recycling technologies, high efficiency liquid-liquid separation equipment, and automatic feedback control technology for extraction processes.
