Chapter 43 The reason for a certain oil loss
After a while in the afternoon, Liu Feng became familiar with the laboratory under Duan Xue's leadership.
Although Beijing University of Chemical Technology is only a 211 university, it was once the eldest son of the Ministry of Chemical Industry in Beijing, so it was once considered wealthy.
The teachers are naturally treated well.
Basically everyone has their own laboratory.
As an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, Duan Xue is even more "beautiful" and therefore, the experimental place assigned to him is even more comparable to that of ordinary teachers and professors.
Boss Duan himself occupied almost one floor in the entire 12-story Bishop Experimental Building.
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, whom I saw at the company seven days ago, there were only two senior brothers here at work.
One is a doctorate and the other is a master’s degree, and both are from the same research team.
I heard that Boss Duan has two postdoctoral students who often follow him abroad and have not come back abroad.
After spending a long time, Liu Feng was familiar with the basic laboratory environment in addition to being familiar with the two senior brothers.
The academician's laboratory is domineering. Ordinary teachers ask grandpa to sue their grandma if they want to find an experimental table. Boss Duan's laboratory has all other basic experimental instruments except for the precious analytical instruments such as nuclear magnetism, mass spectrometry, gas phase, liquid phase, atomic absorption, etc. that are used downstairs, and there is no need to worry about the insufficient experimental instruments.
Liu Feng met a senior brother who complained at a fellow countryman meeting. Their research team was comparable to a beggar. He even needed to beggars with a pH meter in the same laboratory next door...
Sure enough, it’s easy to follow the big boss, and the ancients really didn’t deceive me.
"If you want to do any result analysis, just report it to the laboratory administrator. As for other instruments, I have them here except for those that are not available, so you don't have to worry at all."
Duan Xue never tires about introducing Liu Feng in detail.
The two then went to the door of a laboratory.
When I opened the door, a breath of unknown reagents came over. It was obvious that no one had taken care of this laboratory for a long time.
"This synthesis laboratory is yours for the time being!" Boss Duan waved his hand and gave it to Liu Feng domineeringly.
Liu Feng was stunned and thought to himself that the big boss is the big boss, with an extraordinary temperament! He gave him a laboratory directly. Will he have to send his girlfriend directly in the future?
After carefully looking at his old nest, he might have spent the next few years here.
There are two rows of reagent tables in the middle of the laboratory, and there are 6 spacious fume hoods on both sides, three on each side, and two reagent cabinets and refrigerators are placed in turn next to them. At the same time, there is a small compartment at the bottom of the laboratory, which is the place where the analysis balance is placed.
Liu Feng estimated that this laboratory has a 50-meter-meter meter meter, which can basically support 12 people to do experiments at the same time. If it is converted into the housing price in Beijing, this is a school district housing within the Third Ring Road, no matter how much it is, it will be worth 56 million!
Good-natured, he is the only one who will use such a large laboratory in the future, and Liu Feng was puzzled by himself when he thought about it.
"Also, if you have any basic equipment and reagents to buy, submit a purchase application to the laboratory administrator every half month. As long as it does not exceed the standard, you can basically buy it, and you don't have to worry at all."
"Of course, there are still special people to review the funds every three months, but it's not your business."
...
So, Liu Feng transformed into a little tycoon with an exclusive laboratory.
After getting familiar with the laboratory, Duan Xue also divided a computer in the office area for him, and packed the project information and sent it to him, and then returned to the office alone.
Liu Feng simply opened the office computer, logged into the school email, and downloaded the project information.
This afternoon, he will first brush these things.
His full name is the research on the membrane reactor of propylene disproportionation. Duan Xue said this was the project given to him by PetroChina.
Liu Feng was also confused. The next door to their school is Huaguo Petroleum University. Logically speaking, PetroChina should allocate the topic to its own son. How could it be allocated to them?
When I thought about it, I realized that maybe they value the identity of the boss. After all, a dignified academician and a master in the chemistry field may have many questions to ask for help. What are the benefits of daily life? I have to practice my skills, right?
Although it may just be a hand-training work that others give, Liu Feng has no intention of looking down on him at all.
After all, if things that can be listed separately as a topic and then handed over to experts of the academician level to study, if they are too simple, they will look down on others!
He is an academician, and his style is not comparable to ordinary experts and professors? He is not stupid when he offended an academician for nothing!
Of course, the difficulty of the project is usually proportional to the funding, so the price given by others is very fair, well, 10 million.
Relax and lean!
When Liu Feng heard that the research fund for this project was 10 million, he was stunned. That was 10 million. How many years did he have to work part-time to make so much money!
Sure enough, I have the most wealthy relationship with the right boss. Alas, life!
After downloading the information, Liu Feng started to brush it.
He also looked up information before the disproportionation of olefins.
As one of the main progress in petrochemical processes in recent years, propylene distortion into ethylene and butene-2 is essentially a thermally neutral C=C double bond fracture and reconstruction process. The reaction result is the equilibrium composition of the product containing and reactants.
Because the process has thermally neutral and equal molecular characteristics, it is impossible to promote the transformation of the reaction by changing the operating conditions. Therefore, the internationally common improvement method is to work hard on the catalyst and reactor.
The information given by the boss shows that the traditional fixed bed reactor fixes the catalyst in a specific place, so the raw materials exposed to the catalyst are relatively fixed, so the maximum equilibrium conversion rate of the reaction is less than 34%.
However, in recent years, another reactor has been developed abroad, that is, the legendary membrane reactor.
In fact, this type of reactor was first inspired by coal chemical industry.
The traditional water-gas transformation reaction requires a high temperature of 200℃-400℃. Because the reaction is exothermic, in order to suppress its equilibrium conversion rate, someone has developed a catalytic membrane reaction device, which disperses the catalyst on the membrane, and then the reaction product small molecules can pass through the membrane, while the macromolecules can only retain. Therefore, the hydrogen of the product is easier to penetrate than the reactants CO and water, so high CO conversion can be completed. At the same time, it can be completed at a low temperature of around 160℃, and the conversion rate is even as high as 85%!
Therefore, PetroChina discovered that advanced foreign oil companies were already gradually replacing old reactors with high-end membrane reactors, but they were still using traditional reaction devices with a conversion rate of less than 34%. This efficiency was less than half that of others. How could they sit still?
Liu Feng couldn't help but think with a bad taste. No wonder domestic oil prices have become less competitive in recent years. It turns out that there is still this truth?
But no matter how much you complain, real petrochemicals are more than just such a simple thing.
The disproportionation reaction of propylene is just a trivial reaction in the entire petrochemical field, and is completely different from the fractionation and refining of petroleum.
