In the afternoon, Liu Feng became familiar with the laboratory under the leadership of Duan Xue.

Although Jingcheng University of Chemical Technology is only a 211 university, after all, it was the eldest son of the Ministry of Chemical Industry of the People's Republic of China in Beijing, so it used to be considered wealthy.

Naturally, the treatment of the teachers is good.

Basically everyone has their own lab.

As an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, Duan Xue is the 'face responsible' of the University, so the experimental place allocated to him by the University is not comparable to ordinary teachers and professors.

In the entire 12-story Bishop's Experimental Building, Boss Duan himself almost occupies one floor.

Although Boss Duan's laboratory is large, Liu Feng found that there were not many experiments inside.

Except for Liao Wenyang, Zhong Jing, and Wen Ruonan, the two senior brothers who saw in the company seven days earlier, there are only two senior brothers at work here.

A doctorate, a master's degree, both of them are in the same research group.

I heard that Boss Duan also has two postdoctoral students, the kind who often follow him abroad, and they have not come back abroad.

It took half a day, and in addition to getting familiar with the two senior brothers, Liu Feng was also familiar with the basic laboratory environment.

The academician's laboratory is domineering, ordinary teachers want to find more experimental tables and ask grandpa to tell grandma, and Boss Duan's laboratory, in addition to valuable analytical instruments such as nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, gas phase, liquid phase, atomic absorption, etc., which are used downstairs, other basic experimental instruments are available here, and there is no need to worry about the lack of experimental instruments.

Liu Feng once met a senior brother who complained at a fellow villager meeting, and their research group was comparable to a beggar, and even needed to beg in the laboratory next door to use a pH meter......

Sure enough, it's easy to follow the big boss, and the ancients don't deceive me.

"If you want to do any results analysis or something, just report it to the lab manager, and as for the other instruments, except for the ones that I don't really have, I have them here, so you don't have to worry about it at all. ”

Duan Xue took the trouble to introduce Liu Feng carefully.

The two then came to the door of a laboratory.

Opening the door, a smell of unknown reagents came to the surface, and it was obvious that this laboratory should have been unattended for a long time.

"This synthesis laboratory will be yours for the time being!" Boss Duan waved his hand and gave it to Liu Feng domineeringly.

Liu Feng was dumbfounded, thinking that the big boss is the big boss, and his bearing is extraordinary!

After taking a closer look at his old nest, maybe he would have to spend the next few years here.

In the middle of the laboratory are two rows of reagent tables, flanked by six spacious fume hoods, three on each side, followed by two reagent cabinets and refrigerators, and a small cubicle at the very back of the lab, where the analytical balances are placed.

Liu Feng estimated that this laboratory also has a 5 or 60 square meters, which can basically support 12 people to do experiments at the same time, if it is converted into the housing price of the capital, this is a house in the third ring road and a school district, how can it be worth 5 or 6 million!

A good man, such a large laboratory, he will only use it alone in the future, Liu Feng secretly thought about it.

"Also, if you have any basic equipment and reagents to buy, submit a purchase application to the laboratory manager every half a month, as long as it does not exceed the standard, you can basically buy it, and you don't have to worry about it at all. ”

"Of course, there is still a special person to review the funds every three months, but it's none of your business. ”

……

As a result, Liu Feng turned into a local tyrant with an exclusive laboratory.

After getting familiar with the laboratory, Duan Xue also gave him a computer in the office area, and by the way, he packaged the materials of the subject and sent it to him, and then returned to the office by himself.

Liu Feng simply turned on the computer in the office, logged in to the school mailbox, and downloaded the subject materials.

This afternoon, he's going to brush them up first.

The full name of his project is the membrane reactor research of propylene disproportionation, and I heard Duan Xue say that this is the subject given to him by PetroChina.

Liu Feng is also puzzled, next door to their school is Huaguo University of Petroleum, it stands to reason that PetroChina should assign the subject to his own son, how can it be assigned to them?

After all, a dignified academician, plus a grandmaster-level figure in the chemistry world, can't say that there will be a lot of questions to ask others, what are the benefits of ordinary times, and you have to practice for others, right?

Although it may just be a casual practice, Liu Feng has no intention of looking down on it at all.

After all, if something that can be listed separately as a topic and then handed over to a big person of the level of an academician for research, if it is too simple, it is looking down on people!

If someone is an academician, how can his style be comparable to that of an ordinary expert or professor? If he offends an academician in vain, he is not stupid in his family!

Of course, the difficulty of the subject is usually proportional to the cost, and the price given by people is very fair, well, 10 million.

Rely on it, rely on it!

When Liu Feng heard that the research fund for this topic was 10 million, he was stupid, it was 10 million, how many years of part-time work did he have to make so much money!

Sure enough, it is the most profitable way to follow the right boss, alas, life!

After downloading the information, Liu Feng began to brush.

He also checked the information before the disproportionation reaction of the olefins.

As one of the major advances in petrochemical processes in recent years, the disproportionation of propylene into ethylene and butylene-2 is essentially a process of breaking and rebuilding the thermoneutral C=C double bond, and the reaction result is a balanced composition of products and reactants.

Because the process has the characteristics of thermoneutrality and other molecular characteristics, it is impossible to promote the transformation of the reaction by changing the operating conditions, so the international general improvement method is to work on the catalyst and reactor.

According to the information given by the boss, the traditional fixed-bed reactor is to fix the catalyst in a specific place, so the raw materials that the catalyst is in contact with are relatively fixed, so the maximum equilibrium conversion rate of the reaction is only less than 34%.

However, in recent years, another kind of reactor has been developed abroad, that is, the legendary membrane reactor.

In fact, this reactor was originally inspired by the coal chemical industry.

The traditional water-gas shift reaction requires a high temperature of 200 °C-400 °C, because the reaction is exothermic, in order to inhibit its equilibrium conversion rate, someone has developed a catalytic membrane reaction device, the catalyst is dispersed and coated on the membrane, and then the small molecules of the reaction products can pass through the membrane, and the large molecules can only be retained, so the product hydrogen is easier to penetrate than the reactants CO and water, so it can complete high CO conversion, and at the same time, it can be completed at a low temperature of about 160 °C, and the conversion rate is even as high as 85%!

As a result, PetroChina found that foreign advanced oil companies have been gradually replacing old reactors with high-end membrane reactors, while they are still using traditional reactors with a conversion rate of less than 34%, which is less than half of others, how can they sit still?

Liu Feng couldn't help but think of it in his heart, no wonder the domestic oil prices have become less and less competitive in recent years, so there is still this truth?

But complaining and complaining, the real petrochemical industry is not just such a simple thing.

The disproportionation reaction of propylene is only an insignificant reaction in the entire petrochemical industry, and it is completely different from the fractionation and refining of petroleum.
