There is a star Min Enze in space, now, he has left us

There is a star Min Enze in space, she twinkles in space, calling for people who are interested in scientific exploration to keep forging ahead. Now, he really left us...

At 5:05 on March 7, 2016, Mr. Min Enze, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, academician of the Third World Academy of Sciences, founder of China's oil refining catalytic application science, winner of the National Science Technology Award, Mr. Min Enze, left him forever due to illness dedicated his life At the age of 93 in the petroleum refining business.


On March 3, my husband’s life has entered a countdown of less than 100 hours. The critically ill scientist is still concerned about Sinopec’s recovery efficiency. He specially invited Liu Xiaoxin, the deputy general manager chief engineer of Sinopec Shijiazhuang Refining Chemical Branch, to his side to arrange the next efficiency measures.

This scene made everyone present unforgettable. The severely ill husband is no longer able to eat, he doesn't even have the strength to take off the oxygen mask, so he only relies on nasal feeding to maintain it. But the husband insisted on reading the loss reduction plan reported by Shijiazhuang Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd. verbatim put forward suggestions for improvement. Although, during this day, the husband was awake only half of the time.


In fact, the dedication of Mr. more than this day! In the 1950s, Min Enze, who had obtained a doctorate degree in the United States had already worked, resolutely gave up his wealthy life returned to China with his wife. He broke through many obstacles, took a detour to Hong Kong finally set foot on his homeland, quickly devoted himself to the petroleum refining business of New China. This journey has lasted for more than 60 years without interruption, although difficulties obstacles continue!

Mr.'s professional field, in the eyes of most non-professionals, is obscure difficult to understand, many terms are even a bit confusing to read. But in our daily life, there is almost no day without his catalytic cracking, polymerization, reforming, hydrogenation, molecular sieves, etc. For example, it is hard for us to imagine life without cars, but if there is no catalytic process that accounts for more than 80% of the petroleum refining chemical processes, crude oil will turn into gasoline, diesel, kerosene, cars will be able to move at a single step. It’s hard to imagine a life without chemical fiber, plastic rubber, but if there is no polymerization catalyst to convert small molecules into macromolecules, these artificial materials will never come to an end. It is necessary to feed so many people now, cut down trees plant the whole grain field. I am afraid that it may be able to cope with cotton.

The applied science of refining catalysis, the independent innovation of petrochemical technology green chemistry respectively cover the three main stages of Mr.'s scientific life. At the same time, they also keep pace with the development of China's petrochemical chemical industries. This is the shining point of his life-as the founder, pioneer pioneer, Mr. has profound knowledge extraordinary achievements in his professional field, has his own iconic contribution at every stage; especially in his later years. Can always occupy the forefront of petrochemical technology. But he is lonely entertained. What he does in the professional field is closely related to the country's major needs provides timely solutions.

Entering the 21st century, he is already a senior academician, he is radiating his scientific youth in the new field of using biomass resources to produce vehicle fuels organic chemical degradable oil chemical products.


Mr.'s academic character is a model for the industry convinces the scientific community.

On September 23, 2010, the International Asteroid Center issued a communiqué, permanently naming the asteroid No. 30991 "Min Enze Star". Now, this star has truly risen into the sky!
