Micro Fluidization

Dr. Guangwen Xu is is President & Chair Professor at Shenyang University of Chemical Technology, China, and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng), UK. Dr. Xu is an active scientist and researcher distinguished for his academic leadership and pioneering work in chemical engineering, especially thermochemical reaction processes to convert fossil and renewable resources into value-added products. He kick-started the micro fluidization research and is the key developer of micro fluidized bed reaction analyzers (MFBRA). Professor Xu established the scientific discipline of Engineering Thermochemistry (ETC) and currently takes leadership roles in the world, national, and regional ETC societies. He is the founder of the prestigious International Symposium on Gasification and its Application (iSGA) and several other international and national conferences. Dr. Xu has authored over 400 peer-reviewed publications and 130 granted patents. He has received several international, Chinese ministerial, and provincial awards for his outstanding academic contributions to the field. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the journals Carbon Resources Conversion (CRC) and Resources Chemicals and Materials (RCM) and the editorial board member of several scientific journals.Dr. Dingrong Bai is a Professor of Chemical Engineering and Technology at Shenyang University of Chemical Technology. He has more than 30 years of experience in teaching, research, and technology development in chemical engineering, hydrogen fuels, solid waste conversion, and thermochemical conversion processes. His working experience spans academics and industries, with extensive knowledge of fluidization and particle technology. He has led several research and development projects, some of which have been successfully commercialized. He has authored nearly 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers and patents, three fluidization book chapters, and some professional and technical reports on various scientific and technological subjects. Dr. Bai's current research interests include clean coal technologies, high-temperature fluidization, and advanced thermochemical conversion processes and systems.Dr. Mingyan Liu is a professor of Chemical Engineering and Technology at Tianjin University (China) and the leader of the Multiphase Flow and Transfer Process Intensification Research Group of the State Key Laboratory of Chemical Engineering. As a world-leading expert in multiphase chemical reaction engineering, especially liquid-solids and gas-liquid-solids fluidization, he has been deeply involved in research on micro-liquid-solid and micro gas-liquid-solid fluidized bed reactors. He is one of the leading scientists worldwide in this new field. He was once a member of the Council of the Chinese Society of Particuology, a member of the Process Simulation Committee, and a senior member of the Chemical Industry and Engineering Society of China (CIESC). His research achievements in multiphase chemical reaction engineering, heat transfer process enhancement, and energy-saving have been well documented in his more than 100 scientific research papers and 20 patents. He has received many awards from University and National organizations and was the shortlisted IChemE Innovator of the 2011 Year Award.
