Since the direct distillation of oil fractions does not satisfy the whole demand for fuel feedstocks, processes such as reforming, isomerization, and alkylation are needed to fulfill the market requirements within the gasoline pool. From the processes mentioned above, Aliphatic alkylation is one of the most important refining processes due to the high quality of the alkylate with high research octane number (RON). Although the Aliphatic alkylation with H2SO4 and HF as catalysts have been industrialized for many years, there still exists lots of problems due to the complex heterogeneous reaction, such as the thermodynamics, reaction mechanism, molecular-level interfacial properties, and so on. Aliphatic Alkylation: in Petroleum Refining gives detailed description about the above questions, providing the fundamental understanding the alkylation process from the molecular-level interfacial properties to the macroscopic industry plant.

Dr Sun has graduated from East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST), majoring in chemical technology, and obtained the master and doctorate degrees in chemical engineering from ECUST in 2004 and 2009. He was engaged for one year in molecular simulation in the group of Professor Berend Smit, University of California at Berkeley. His main research interests include chemical reaction engineering, multiscale simulation, and applications of nanomaterials in energy and medicine. He uses theory and methods to study reaction kinetics of complex systems, simulation optimization and design of large-scale industrial reactors, especially focusing on the surface and interface properties and reaction-transfer coupling relationships of heterogeneous reaction processes at the molecular scale by means of molecular simulation methods.
Dr Weizhong has graduated from East China University of Science and Technology with bachelor and doctorate degree, In 2014 and 2020, respectively. In 2018, he went to Stanford University for joint training. He mainly engaged in the research on the identification and strengthening of interface properties of heterogeneous systems. He is good at combining molecular dynamics simulation, in-situ characterization, machine learning and experimental methods to study multi-scale interface microstructure and mass transfer characteristics, guiding the rational design of green catalysts/auxiliaries and green process development.
