PhD in Chemical Engineering, The University of Melbourne, Australia, Member of International Adsorption Society, Member of International Zeolite Association
Staff title
Assistant Professor
Dr. Jin Shang obtained his Bachelor (2007) and Master (2009) degrees both in Environmental Engineering at Northeastern University in China. He completed his PhD in Chemical Engineering at the University of Melbourne in 2013. His PhD thesis was on the separation of carbon dioxide from flue gas and natural gas streams using porous adsorbent materials. The study discovered a new separation mechanism (i.e., molecular trapdoor mechanism) which changed the conventional understanding of how these adsorbents discriminate between molecules in gases. After his PhD, he worked as research fellow on an Australian Research Council Discovery Project focusing on developing advanced adsorbents in Paul Webley Group at the University of Melbourne. Since 2015, as Co-chief Investigator of Australian Research Council Training Centre for Liquefied Natural Gas Futures, he has been actively participated in research along with major industry partners in oil and gas field. He then moved to Georgia Institute of Technology and worked as a postdoctoral fellow funded by ExxonMobil focusing on restricted gas diffusion in zeolites by advanced molecular simulation in David Sholl Group, prior to joining the City University of Hong Kong as an assistant professor in the School of Energy and Environment in September 2016.
Other Information
Research InterestMolecular separation plays a key role in energy and environmental technologies. Notable examples are H2and CH4purifications, CO2capture, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) removal, CO removal for fuel cell technology, flue gas purification, desulfurization of natural gas and transported fuels etc. Molecular separation is an important unit operation in chemical industry, accounting for more than 60% of the total cost in some processes. Of the adsorption-based molecular separations, molecular sieving is the most desirable separation mechanism because it affords unparalleled high-selectivity.
Our research focus is on investigating and understanding the fundamental physical chemistry of gas adsorption and diffusion behaviour, using combined experimental and computational approaches to rationally design and synthesize “active” porous materials for gas separation and storage in environmental and energy applications. Some advanced experimental techniques applied include multiple component breakthrough andin situsynchrotron Powder X-ray Diffraction/Neutron Powder Diffraction/X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy of adsorption; some advanced computational techniques includeab initiodensity functional theory (DFT) and force field molecular simulations. We have broad interests in materials design and synthesis, particularly the study and design of stimuli responsive porous adsorbents to achieve controlled selective guest admission into host adsorbents through “smart” pore apertures. The stimuli can be guest molecules, temperature, pressure, light, electric field, etc. Targeted applications of interests include:
CO2capture
nature gas/biogas/landfill gas purification
low temperature NOxremoval
VOCs (volatile organic compounds) removal
NH3removal
CO removal
paraffin/olefin separation
gas storage
gas sensing
bacteria inactivation
biorefinery
