179 technological achievements in the petrochemical industry have produced significant economic and social benefits


Over the past three years, the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation has awarded a total of 679 scientific and technological awards, indicating that technological innovation has become the main driving force for upgrading the industry structure and optimizing product structure. On December 5th, at the 2023 National Petroleum and Chemical Technology Innovation Conference held in Wuhan, 179 scientific and technological achievements, 3 scientific research teams, and a group of scientific and technological workers who have made outstanding contributions to the development of the industry, selected for the 2023 China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation Science and Technology Award, were commended. Many award-winning achievements demonstrate the strong innovation ability of the petroleum and chemical industry for the future.

 

Li Shousheng, President of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, believes that in the future oriented innovative development, the petroleum and chemical industry should effectively grasp the three major strategic tasks. One is to comprehensively accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. To achieve comprehensive breakthroughs in technological innovation in traditional industries and strive to find a new path for non-traditional development of traditional industries. The second is to vigorously explore high-end areas of strategic emerging industries. Strive to significantly enhance independent innovation capabilities in high-end fields such as chemical new energy, chemical new materials, high-end fine chemicals, biochemistry, and energy conservation and environmental protection. The third is to accelerate the construction of new technological reserves for the next generation of industries in the future. Plan and deploy a number of future topics related to life sciences, materials science, new energy science, and environmental science in advance, becoming a leading force in leading the future of the world chemical industry.

 

According to the introduction, out of 179 award-winning achievements, there are 23 Technology Invention Awards and 156 Science and Technology Progress Awards. Among the 9 achievements that won the first prize for technological invention, the industrialization preparation and application of lithium battery separators, sodium battery cathode materials, and ultra pure electronic chemicals for chips have provided technical support for the development of the national new energy industry and the achievement of the "dual carbon" goal. The classified and efficient development project of low-permeability carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East region, completed by PetroChina, is the only achievement of the special prize for scientific and technological progress. The application of this technological achievement has increased the production of the Abu Dhabi NEB oilfield from 9.43 million tons to 12.06 million tons in three years. The complete set of technology for the high-quality utilization of fluorinated silicon resources, a by-product of phosphorus fertilizer developed by Duofuduo, which has won the first prize for scientific and technological progress, not only alleviates the resource dependence of fluorine chemical industry on fluorite, solves the environmental protection problems of the phosphorus fertilizer industry, but also improves the manufacturing level of ultra pure electronic grade hydrofluoric acid and the self-sufficiency guarantee ability of the integrated circuit industry.

 

The award-winning achievements have generated significant economic and social benefits. Professor Wei Fei from Tsinghua University and Professor Wu Yixian from Beijing University of Chemical Technology won the Zhao Yonghao Science and Technology Innovation Award. The new fluidized bed system created by Professor Wei Fei has been applied in 26 industrial units, making contributions to promoting energy conservation and consumption reduction in China's chemical industry and the development of new coal chemical industry. Professor Wu Yixian has conquered the core technologies of three synthetic polymer materials: butyl rubber, polybutadiene elastomer, and ultra-high relative molecular weight polyisobutylene special elastomer, achieving industrial manufacturing from scratch. The MFI molecular sieve catalyst, which won the first prize for technological invention, produced 1724 tons of catalyst for heavy oil catalytic cracking technology, with an additional sales revenue of 48.08 million yuan. 15 sets of green self cycle regeneration technology for rubber materials of 10000 ton grade waste tires, which have won the first prize for scientific and technological progress, have been promoted and applied. More than 2 million waste tires have been processed, and carbon emissions have been reduced by about 23000 tons. (Meng Fanjun)
