on sep 23th, the 2014 annual meeting of ciesc was held in beijing. prof. long fei and prof. meng mingyang were awarded the 6th hou debang award of innovation after chief engineer liu changling in 2012 and prof. cheng di in 2013.
prof. long fei has been working on the research and development job and finished five projects of 863 and national scientific key projects. he developed efficient gas&liquid reactors and possessed a 10 thousand ability of volume production which raised substantially the synthetic reaction velocity and realized energy conservation and emission reduction. all the projects that taken by prof. long have been realized industrial production, among which in the application of circulation flow reactor in the oxosynthesis of phosphorus oxychloride via phosphorus trichloride, he realized a 6 times increase in productivity and zero release of three wastes. he has made positive contribution to the national chemical environmental protection career.
prof. meng mingyang has been working on the front-line of the chemical industry for many years. he has devoted himself to the organic intermediate new technology and new product development of the fine chemical industry. the 8th-five-year project “study on the synthesis of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid by solvent method”, developed by prof. meng, has filled a gap domestically. this project has been also enrolled in the popularization plan of the 9th-five-year national achievements by sdpc and sstc. the sulfonate, carbonation via solvent method, catalytic hydrogenation, purification via sublimation method occupied the leading level at home and aboard. he transformed the old h-acid production equipment, which made the catalyst election and process condition of hydrolysis reaction possess the proprietary intellectual property rights.
the hou debang chemical science and technology award is in honor of the contribution of mr. hou debang who dedicated all his life-time to the chemical industry and chemical career, at the same time to stimulate the chemical research workers for throwing themselves into the chemical career which develops the country through science and education. the award was set up in 1996 by ciesc. in this year of the 6th, 3 achievement awards, 11 innovation awards and 9 youth awards were awarded.
