Abstract: Mr. Min Enze ever said that it was very important to carry on directional fundamental research during the development and application of new industrial technology. Under the guidance of Mr. Min’s thoughts on innovation, we keep on making exploration and practice on new technology in recent years. One of the important and effective ways for innovation on petrochemical technology is to combine advanced catalytic materials with chemical engineering processes. It would promote the development of petrochemical technology by introduction and integration of new materials, new technology and new processes into the conventional petrochemical area. In this paper, we summarize some of our innovation practices on development of new porous catalytic materials and new petrochemical technology during recent years, such as the application of new porous composite materials on conventional industrial processes, new green reaction process via advanced catalysts, several progresses on process coupling and intensification, etc. We intend to stimulate thought and creative ideas on combination of material science and chemical engineering as well as their applications.

Key words: petrochemical industry, industrial catalysis, porous composite materials, green reaction process, process coupling and intensification, directional fundamental research
