| IntegratedTechnology Center, affiliated with Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion, Chinese Academy of Sciences (GIEC), was founded in 2008. Under the leadership of chief scientist,academician Chen Yong, the center focuses onthe exploration and utilization of Urban Mines, carries out prospective basic research on application and key technology R&D and integration, which serve for social and economic development in environmental protection and energy saving fields,also dedicates to solving organic waste, inorganic waste, metal waste and waste gas and energy recycling problems. Research directions cover organic solid waste recycling and energy utilization technology, comprehensive recycling utilization technology of inorganic solid waste, energy saving and eco-intelligent building technology, efficient utilization technology of middle-low grade energy, industrial energy saving technology. There are more than 30 researchers currently including 1 member of Chinese Academy of Engineering, 2 members of CAS “Hundred Talents Program”, 4 professors and 6 associate professors. | | | | | | Focusing on exploitation of organic solid waste, mechanistic and key technical researches on the thermochemical, biochemical and physical conversion processes are carried out to achieve the source pollution control, polymorphic thermal chemical conversion and high-valued utilization. | | | | | Focusing on exploitation of organic solid waste, mechanistic and key technical research on the thermochemical, biochemical and physical conversion processes are carried out to achieve the source pollution control, polymorphic thermal chemical conversion and high-valued utilization. | | | | | According to the comprehensive development and resource utilization of "city minerals"such as slag, steel slag, coal-fly ash, coal gangue, coal chemical slag construction waste, weathered sand, sewage sludge, MSWI bottom and fly ash, and so on, producing ecological and environmental protection building materials, using limited resources create unlimited cycle. | | | | | We mainly carry out researches on generic technology and key epuipment used in industry and building energy conservation and emission reduction area, finally integrate and optimize every key technology to build an industrial park or ecological intelligent building which is source-reduced, end-of-pipe Controlled, cyclic utilized and intelligent monitored. | | | | | This group considers how to utilize the middle-low grade energy efficiently as the research objective, working on the related heat and mass transfer processes mechanisms and developing the key technologies. According to the present situation of middle-low grade energy utilization, the efficient utilization technologies based on the coordinated growth of “economy, energy and environment” are proposed, which involve the researches of adsorption refrigeration, desiccant air conditioning system, chemical heat storage, novel high-efficient air conditioning system, and dry desulfurization, It is remarkable that these technologies can promote the energy quality and utilize the middle-low grade energy efficiently to reduce the energy consumption and protect out environment. | | | | | The three dimensional transformed space and transformed flow field technology is used to develop a new generation of high efficiency energy saving and heat transfer equipment. A series of high efficiency and energy saving, small temperature difference, cleaned heat exchanger are designed, they are suitable for energy saving, water saving, dust and waste heat recovery, which can be applied to all kinds of heat exchang devices of refrigeration, iron and steel, metallurgy, petroleum, Chemical and oil refining industry. | | | |
