In a recent paper in Chemical Engineering Science, Chinese researchers had invented a novel slurry reactor for process intensification of gas-liquid reaction and solid-liquid separation. Slurry reactor is a gas-liquid-solid reactor where particles act as the catalyst. It is very popular in many industries such as the energy and chemical industry, fine chemistry industry, sewage treatment. Separation and collection of catalyst part...

A research team led by Prof. LIU Licheng from Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), achieved efficient electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 to formate over a wide negative potential range successfully. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission has become a global problem that leads to climate change and greenhouse effect to the earth. Hence, efficient conversion of greenhouse gas CO2 into value-added liquid fuels is one of significant ways to fix CO2, and i...

Recently, researchers from a collaborative team of Dr. LI Shengjun’s group at Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and Dr. LI Yunhai’s group at Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, CAS, and Dr. YU Bin’s group at University of Nebraska-Lincoln identified the function of SMA1 gene in plant miRNA generation. The growth, development, and yield of plants are greatly affected by various biotic and abiotic stresses, such as bacteria, fungi, pests, drought, salt, and temperature stresses. Plants need to tightly control the developmental progress and stress...

Recently, the research team led by Prof. JIANG Heqing from Qingdao Key Laboratory of Functional Membrane Material and Membrane Technology, Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), reported a facile nanocomposite strategy to fabricate the carbon based photothermal membrane with controllable microstructure and high solar-driven evaporation efficiency, which has been published as Journal of Materials Chemistry A. Lately, bio-inspired by the auricle with concave surface for efficient sound collection, we designed a series of macro-scaled 3D photothermal cones to further improve the water evaporation performance. Fresh water generation inspired by the natural solar-driven evaporation has been widely utilized to relieve the fresh water scarcity. To accelerate the water evaporation to the maximum, variety of photothermal materials have been introduced into t...

Recently, a collaborative team from Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) that consists of Professor LI Shengying Li’s group at Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Professors Guoping Zhao’s and Prof. Youli Xiao’s groups at Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology, Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, and Prof. Gong-Li Tang’s group at Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, completely elucidated the long mystery on late rifamycin biosynthesis.
Tuberculosis is a serious infectious disease. It has caused a huge number of human deaths in history and remains a threat to public health.
The most effective drug to treat tuberculosis is the specific broad spectrum antibiotic. Rifamycins, th...
