JIN Yong

Professor JIN Yong is a specialist in chemical reaction engineering, especially in fluidization reaction engineering. He graduated from Ural Polytechnic College in Svirdelovsk, the former Union States of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) in 1959. He then took postgraduate courses in the Department Chemical Engineering Tianjin University from 1959 to 1961. He worked in University of Science and Technology of China until 1973 when he transferred to Tsinghua University. He is a professor of the Department of  Chemical Engineering of Tsinghua University.

He was elected a member of Chinese Academy of  Engineering in 1997.

He is a founding member of the chemical reaction engineering division in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Tsinghua University. His major research interests are heterogeneous reaction engineering including hydrodynamics, transfer behaviors, reaction kinetics modeling and scale- up in turbulent fluidized bed, circulating fluidized bed, ultra-short contacting down flow fluidized bed, moving bed, fixed bed and three phases circulating fluidized bed; coupling technology in chemical process including reaction-reaction, reaction-separation, reaction-regeneration couplings etc.; environment friendly chemical processes including reducing the heat and wastes discharge, clean alkylation process, avoiding introduction and production of hazardous materials; particles and powder technology including drying, pneumatic transportation, mixing, particle coating and surface modification of fine and ultra-fine powders.

He is a well-know scientist in the field of fluidization reaction engineering. His contribution in this field include development of new type commercial turbulent fluidized bed catalytic reactor, acrylonitrile vinyl-alcohol manufacture technology, deep catalytic cracking of residual in ultra-short contacting chemical reaction technology, particle and powder granulation, blending, coating drying and pneumatic transportation. He is a member of the advisory board of Chemical Engineering & Technology, standing director of Chinese Society of Particuology (1995- Now). He was a consultant of the Beijing Municipal Government (1988- 1994). He published more than 350 papers in refereed journals and academic meetings. He also obtained 37 patents, wrote and translated 6 books.
