The media built the University | Wang Lei: Policy support has made me challenge the "unmanned area".

"In the past ten years, the state's support for scientific researchers has become more and more supportive. Clear orientation and correct paths have made me motivated to do scientific and technological achievements." Wang Lei, a professor at the School of Environment and Municipal Engineering of the University of Science and Technology and the dean of the Shaanxi Provincial Film Separation Technology Research Institute.

This is closely related to his special experience. Talking to Wang Lei is always inseparable from the technique of opening the film. This is an emerging technology that is separated, concentrated, and purified by separating, concentrated and purifying substances. It not only has the functions of separation, concentration, purification and refining, but also has the characteristics of efficient, energy saving, environmental protection.

While studying in Japan, Wang Lei participated in the world's largest film technology scientific research plan and saw the huge potential of the technology in the fields of biomedicine, environmental protection chemical, new energy and water treatment.

In 2002, Wang Lei returned from learning. Relying on the dominant discipline of colleges and universities, a film separation technology innovation team was formed. At the beginning of the team, he insisted that he did not publish the paper and the patent declaration as the end of scientific research. Instead, he transformed patent results into production technology as much as possible to solve the actual needs of the industry.

In response to the characteristics of lack of water resources in the Northwest region, water quality pollution, and abundant scarce resources in salt lakes, the team focuses on the development of separate film products and equipment such as high -performance ultrafiltration, micro filtering, natal filtration, positive penetration, and Recycling and medical device expansion applications. In 2012, the results of the team were transformed in Suzhou, with outstanding economic and social benefits.

"At that time, the state encouraged scientific researchers to transform the results. It was called not to let the academic achievements stay in the laboratory, and to the ground to contribute to the main battlefield of the economy." Wang Lei said, but how to transfer it, everyone crossed the river and crossed the river with stones to cross the river. Essence

In 2015, the National People's Congress revised the "People's Republic of China to Promote the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements"; in 2016, the State Council issued the "Implementation of the" People's Republic of China to Promoting Scientific and Technological Achievement Transformation Law & Several Provisions ", which clearly released the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. Scientific research autonomy.

"It is these policies that give me the confidence of challenging the 'uninhabited area'." Wang Lei said that the most critical point of the transformation of results is patent technology. The above -mentioned policies have clearly defined the ownership of scientific and technological achievements. How much are allocated to the scientific research team and how much to the scientific research institute's platform. In this way, there is no problem of intellectual property transformation in the transformation of the subsequent results, so that scientific researchers no longer have worries.

Today, new energy vehicles have entered millions of households, but few people think about where the lithium in lithium batteries used in new energy vehicles comes from. In fact, more than 70%of the world's lithium extracts salt lakes rich in minerals.

In order to firmly control the country's "lifeblood" in his own hands, in 2017, with the support of the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Science and Technology, Wang Lei team formed the Shaanxi Provincial Film Separation Technology Research Institute to conduct basic research and technology development around the science and technology of film separation Provide a common technology platform for industrialization.

In September of that year, Wang Lei led the team to build the first pilot station in the "unmanned area" in Leng Lake in Qinghai. In December, the China -trial production line was successfully put into production. The cost of extracting lithium carbonate by traditional methods will be reduced by more than half, and the economy and environmental protection have reached the world's advanced level, providing strong technical support for my country's valuable precious metal development.

Long -term practice has proved that Wang Lei's team has achieved a leap from primitive innovation to industrialization development. The key is the innovation chain and deep integration model of "Research Institute+Co., Ltd.+Seed Fund". In Wang Lei's view, the previous theoretical verification, middle test, funds, marketization and other links have been relatively independent. It needs to be coordinated back and forth, and the uncertainty is high. No matter what link The most difficult part of chain transformation. After repeated exploration, they successfully opened up these links.

In just 5 years, Wang Lei led the team incubation -Xi'an Golden Tibetan membrane Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. solved the key technical problems of extracting precious metals from salt lake brine, and built multiple carbonate in Lenghu, Chandan, Golmu and other places in Qinghai Province Lithium production lines have greatly reduced the cost of extraction of lithium. The value of core technology has been fully reflected in the market.

Not only that, the innovation chain drives the industrial chain, and the industrial chain is anti -nurturing the innovation chain. In this chain, the team has trained nearly 200 master's and doctoral innovation talents. More talents have grown rapidly, forming basic research, technological development, and engineering applications. , Management and other complete talent system, the sense of achievement and gain of scientific researchers have greatly enhanced.

"In the future, we will continue to adhere to the four aspects', closely combine with the development trend of the world's polymer membrane materials, strengthen talent training, continuously improve their ability to innovate, deepen industrial cooperation, establish a number of industry -university -research innovation bases, use scientific and technological innovation to serve the economy Social development, strive for greater contributions, "Wang Lei said.
