Environmental Catalysis Engineering Research Group (DNL0902)
Established in 1999, the Environmental Catalysis Engineering Research Group (DNL0902) operates under the Dalian National Laboratory for Clean Energy (DNL). We conduct applied fundamental research in the circular carbon domain, focusing on sustainable catalysis reactions, heterogeneous catalysts, catalytic reactor engineering, and industrial demonstration. We contribute our sustainable catalysis expertise to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 7 & 13).
Our group leader is Prof. Songbo He (appointed in February 2025). Our academic advisors include Prof. Chenglin Sun of the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, specializing in oxidation and dehydrogenation, and Prof. Hero Jan Heeres, a member of the Dutch Academy of Engineering and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences from the University of Groningen, specializing in pyrolysis and hydrogenation .
We focus on developing heterogeneous catalytic conversion technologies to transform solid and liquid wastes into renewable energy and chemicals, supporting industrial applications and carbon neutrality. We target major waste streams such as waste pulp and black liquor from the paper industry, crude glycerol from biodiesel production, high-concentration organic wastewater from petrochemicals, non-edible animal/plant oils from the catering industry, agricultural and forestry biomass, and non-recyclable waste plastics. Research aims to produce renewable energy (e.g., sustainable aviation fuel, high-quality pyrolysis oil) and chemicals (e.g., light aromatics, long-chain alkenes) through pyrolysis (fast pyrolysis, hydropyrolysis, ex-situ catalytic pyrolysis), advanced oxidation (catalytic wet air oxidation, catalytic peroxide/ozone oxidation, electrocatalytic oxidation), hydrogenation, and dehydrogenation. Key activities include designing continuous catalytic conversion equipment, developing high-selectivity and recyclable heterogeneous catalysts, and investigating reaction mechanisms, product regulation, and catalyst deactivation .
DNL0902 operates in a 700 m² laboratory within the Dalian National Laboratory for Clean Energy. The team comprises 21 members, including 2 researchers, 1 associate researchers, 5 senior engineers, 2 assistant researcher, 5 project-based staff, 5 Ph.D. candidates, and 1 master’s students .
To date, DNL0902 has authorized 48 Chinese patents, certified 10 technological achievements, and published over 150 papers. Notable awards include the National Machinery Industry Progress Award (Second Prize, 2002), Shandong Province Science and Technology Progress Award (Second Prize, 2016), and Dalian City Science and Technology Progress Award (First Prize, 2024). Two industrialized technologies—advanced oxidation for high-concentration refractory organic wastewater and long-chain alkane dehydrogenation catalysts—have been applied in companies such as Wanhua Chemical (Yantai) and PetroChina Fushun Petrochemical. Cumulative research funding has exceeded 85 million CNY.
