报告题目：Integration of Biomass and Petroleum

报告内容简介：We currently live in a fossil-based economy: we depend on oil for our energy, transport, materials and chemicals production. However, substantial steps into the transition toward a bio-based economy have been taken. Multiple drivers, some policy and geographically dependent, are steering an economy where new bioproducts are replacing their fossil counterparts and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are reduced. The petroleum-based industry and bio-based industry seem to be parallel. Can these two industries go hand in hand in the transition to post-petroleum era? Both of petroleum and biofuel have the original source – biomass. Here we introduce our recent results: integration of renewable materials with petroleum both for improving the quality of petroleum fuels and promoting the conversion of biomass to biohycarbons. An example presents synthesis of nano dispersed catalyst with an application in thermolysis of cellulosic materials in heavy petroleum oil. Biomass is directly converted to paraffin and light aromatics, which are chemically similar to petroleum oil.

报告人简介：Professor Ying Zheng is the recently appointed Chair of Chemical Reaction/Catalysis Engineering at the University of Edinburgh. She is an elected Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering in 2016, Fellow of the Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC) and Member of the New College of the Royal Society of Canada and in 2014. Her research interests focus on the development of catalytic processes for waste-to-energy/value-added products. She has solid publication record and holds five patents, two of which have been licensed. Her contribution to Chemical Engineering has also been recognised by several awards, including the 2010 Syncrude Canada Innovation Award, and the UNB Research Scholar (2009). Zheng has also been actively involved in professional activities. She has served on awards and grant selection committees; as the vice chair of the Catalysis Division of CIC.
