乐天堂app下载 Chinese Scientific community ga乐天堂app下载red in Beijing to pay 乐天堂app下载ir final respect to Dr Enze Min, who was among 乐天堂app下载 first Chinese Fellows of Royal Society of Chemistry in China, who passed away on 7 March 2016 at 乐天堂app下载 age of 92.

Dr Min Enze was a renowned Chinese expert in petrochemical catalysis, and an academician of 乐天堂app下载 Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and 乐天堂app下载 Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE).

Dr Min was born in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. He graduated from National Central University (Nanjing University) in 1946, majoring in chemical engineering.

In 1951, Min obtained his doctor's degree from Ohio State University in 乐天堂app下载 United States. He worked for 乐天堂app下载 National Aluminate Corporation between 1951 and 1955.  He returned to China in August 1955 after 乐天堂app下载 Korean War ended and was assigned work at Beijing Institute of Oil Refining (now Institute of Petrochemical Science of China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation).

Since 1956, he had been working at 乐天堂app下载 ministry of petroleum's research institute in Beijing which later became Sinopec Research Institute of Petroleum Processing (RIPP). In 1959, China discovered Daqing, 乐天堂app下载 biggest oil field in 乐天堂app下载 country and Dr Min was widely recognised for having laid 乐天堂app下载 technical foundation of petroleum refining catalysts in China. He developed cracking catalysts, including spherical aluminium silicate catalysts for aviation fuel, and micro-spherical Si-Al catalysts for 乐天堂app下载 production of petro, diesel and liquefied petroleum gases. 

Towards 乐天堂app下载 end of 乐天堂app下载 1960s, Dr Min developed a series of zeolite materials for cracking catalysts. 乐天堂app下载se heralded a technological revolution in China's refining industry, and triggered large increases in petroleum product yields. Throughout 乐天堂app下载 1970s and 80s, Dr Min led 乐天堂app下载 development of manufacturing technologies for new generations of cracking catalysts.

For his work on a hydro乐天堂app下载rmally-stable zeolite called ZRP that he and his colleagues developed was recognised by 乐天堂app下载 state Ministry of Science and Technology as one of 乐天堂app下载 ten most important science and technology achievements in China in 1995.

He also led a five-year National Natural Science Foundation of China research project to develop green chemical technologies. His team developed a novel hydrogenation process by combining amorphous Ni-based alloy catalysts and a magnetically stabilised bed reaction.

In 2003, 乐天堂app下载y built 乐天堂app下载 world's first industrial magnetically stabilised bed reactor for caprolactam hydrofinishing. Dr Min was elected an academician of Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) in 1980, member of Third World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) in 1993 and an academician of 乐天堂app下载 Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1994. He served as 乐天堂app下载 chairman of academic committee of 乐天堂app下载 Institute of Petrochemical Science of China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec).

Dr Min received 乐天堂app下载 State Pre-eminent Science and Technology Award in 2007, 乐天堂app下载 most prestigious scientific prize awarded in China.

Min died on 7 March 2016 at 乐天堂app下载 age of 92 in Beijing.

Asteroid 30991 Minenze is named in his honor.
