Department of Chemical Engineering
The Department of Chemical Engineering has made a great
progress in developing software and hardware facilities
over the past twenty years. The department has many experienced
teachers and a series of advanced instruments. The
department boasts its key subject of fine chemical honored
by China Petrochemical and Industrial Group and the
excellent echelon structure of subjects appraised by
the Jiangsu Provincial Educational Commission. In 2000,
the Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory of Fine Petrochemical
Engineering was founded. This key lab is an excellent
research center in Jiangsu Province, which is supported
by a team of highly qualified research fellows. The
founding of this lab provides a good opportunity for
further development of the department.
There are five major areas in the department, which
are as follows: Chemical Engineering & Technology;
Applied Chemistry; Pharmaceutical Engineering; Biochemical
Engineering; and Light- Chemical Engineering. The department
consists of seven teaching and research groups and an
analysis-testing center. The research foundation of
the department has assets of over twelve million RMB.
The department has advanced instruments, such as NMR,
HPLC, GC-MS, FT-IR, ICP and material testing machine,
amongst others.
There are 112 faculty and staff members in the department.
The faculty members consist of eighty-seven full-time
teachers with fourteen of them holding senior professional
titles whilst forty-three hold sub-senior professional
titles.
The department has been awarded nearly forty national,
provincial and ministerial scientific research projects.
Three of these projects are supported by the National
Natural and Science Fund of China; over twenty are supported
by Jiangsu province and China Petrochemical Industrial
Group supports six. There are still about 100 collaborated
programs under research now. The department has published
three monographs and one hundred and twenty papers.
Among these published papers, eleven of them were extracted
by SCI, six were extracted by EI and one was extracted
