Catalysts Webinar | Environmental Catalysis in Air Pollution Control
Welcome from the Chair
You are kindly invited to our comprehensive webinar exploring recent research progress in catalyst development and applications in the field of environmental catalysis. Our expert panel is composed of three professors with extraordinary experience in air pollution control.
Through insightful presentations and discussions, you will gain valuable insights into their latest works and publications in different catalytic processes, including the selective reduction of NOx and the decomposition of N2O, within the context of automobile and industrial emission control. The main work might specifically focus on the emission control technology for future zero-carbon fuels, like hydrogen or ammonia engines. Whether you are a scientific researcher, an industrial engineer, or a graduate student, this webinar offers a unique opportunity to explore these innovative approaches toward building a more environmentally sustainable future for generations to come.

Catalytic Reduction of NO and N₂O Over Metal Oxide Catalysts
Huazhen Chang is currently working as Professor of School of Chemistry and Life Resources at the Renmin University of China, where he heads the “Air pollution control” laboratory. His research interests are in the field of gas pollutants and greenhouse gas elimination. He is involved in experimental investigations in the following fields: New technology for purifying greenhouse gases, multi-pollutants elimination technology for industrial flue gas, design and development of new functional materials, and its applications in the environmental sector. His teaching activity mainly concerns the courses of Air pollution control for bachelor’s degrees and PhD programs. He has co-authored more than 80 papers in journals, with more than 5000 citations and an H-index of 39. Selected into the list of top 2% scientists in the world by Stanford University. Currently, Prof. Chang is part of the Editorial Board of several journals, such as Eco-Environment & Health (EEH), and Green Energy & Environment (GEE), and he collaborates as a referee with numerous scientific journals. Managed or cooperated National-level talent projects, National Key R&D plan Youth Project of China, Natural Science Foundation, and other national projects. Authorized more than ten invention patents.
Webinar Recording
The three speakers gave clear and excellent presentations on the science and applications of catalysis in air pollution control. They summarized the valuable insights into different catalytic processes towards automobile and industrial emission control. The output would be helpful for future catalyst development and catalysis research for eliminating air pollutants.
