The value of a single transaction related to the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in a laboratory in Ningxia exceeds 10 million yuan. Author/Source: Date: 2022-04-22; Clicks: 15. On April 17, reporters learned from the Ningxia Department of Science and Technology that recently, the “series of patents related to high-temperature thermal conversion and gasification of coal and hazardous waste” developed by the Key Laboratory of Efficient Coal Utilization and Green Chemical Engineering, which is jointly established by the province and relevant ministries, were transferred to Global Runbo Energy Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. in the form of the transfer of patent rights and application rights. The total amount of the agreement reached 11 million yuan, marking the first case in Ningxia where the value of a single transaction related to the transformation of scientific and technological achievements from a key laboratory exceeds 10 million yuan. The scientific research achievements resulting from this transformation integrate technologies such as coal gasification, organic waste gasification, and high-temperature thermal conversion of organic mixed salts, enabling the conversion of the massive amounts of organic waste generated in key industries in Ningxia, including coal chemical engineering, fine chemical manufacturing, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals, into products such as syngas, green hydrogen, and glass slag. The transformation and application of this scientific and technological achievement will provide new approaches for the treatment and resource utilization of hazardous waste in the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base, thereby truly achieving resource utilization and harmless treatment. The Key Laboratory of Efficient Coal Utilization and Green Chemical Engineering, jointly established by the province and the ministry, is a key laboratory at the ** level approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology in 2017 for establishment at Ningxia University. In recent years, in response to the major needs of energy strategy development, and addressing key scientific issues related to the sustainable development of regional coal chemical industries as well as resource and environmental protection, the laboratory has carried out fundamental research and efforts to develop key technologies in areas such as controlled catalytic conversion for the production of high-value coal-based products, the migration of specific elements in coal chemical parks and the recycling of waste materials, as well as new and renewable energy sources. A number of significant achievements have been made, which have effectively promoted advancements in modern coal chemical technology and product upgrading. The laboratory has been approved as part of 8 science and technology innovation teams in the autonomous region; it has established long-term cooperation and exchange relationships with 18 enterprises. Over the past 5 years, it has undertaken 134 research projects at or above the provincial and ministerial level, received 92 million yuan in funding for competitive research, published more than 510 high-quality research papers, been granted 75 invention patents, and won 10 awards for scientific and technological progress at the provincial and ministerial levels. It has also established pilot bases for the efficient use of coal and green chemical manufacturing, providing strong technical support for the development of the local modern coal chemical industry.
