博士答辩Miss Wen-jie Cong successfully defended her doctoral dissertation

Started from 2:30 pm September 1, 2021, Miss Wen-jie Cong supervised by Prof. Zhen Fang, successfully defended her dissertation at B404 Huixian Building, Pukou Campus of Nanjing Agricultural University. The defending committee was composed of Prof. Jian-chun Jiang (Chair) from Institute of Chemical Industry of Forest Products, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Prof. Zhao-ping Zhong from Southeast University as well as Profs Chang-ying Ji, Wei-min Ding and Chun-xia He from Nanjing Agricultural University.

Miss Wen-jie Cong presented her research results for doctoral dissertation in 30 min, the committee members raised relevant questions. Miss Cong studied the production of biodiesel and hydrogen from waste oil with solid bases from spent bleaching clay and metal-organic framework with dissertation entitled “solid bases derived from spent bleaching clay and nickel metal-organic framework for biodiesel and hydrogen production”. Her work realized full utilization of solid waste (spent bleaching clay) for high efficient production of biodiesel with waste oil, and built a green processing for co-production of biodiesel and hydrogen with nickel MOF-based alkali. She co-authored 7 papers and first-authored 2 papers. After discussion, the panel agreed that Miss Cong had successfully completed her research and course requirements on agricultural bio-environment and energy engineering, voted by secret ballot and decided to confer Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering to Miss Cong subjected to the approval by the Academic Degrees Committees of the college and university.

Congratulations!

She published 2 first-authored papers:
