Exploration and Practice of Integration of Research and Teaching in Chemical Reaction Engineering:In-situ Hydrogenation of Furfural to Furfuryl Alcohol Catalyzed by NiO-Fe2O3
As the core course of chemical engineering specialty,chemical reaction engineering plays a bridging role.At present,chemical reaction engineering faces some objective problems such as scattered knowledge points,sound theoretical basis,and high comprehensiveness,which leads to students'low interest in learning,difficulty in establishing a systematic knowledge system,and low chemical literacy.Therefore,this paper practices the education mode of integration of research and teaching,by taking the research topic of in-situ hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol catalyzed by NiO-Fe2O3 as a case to carry out teaching innovation.By designing and selecting reaction,preparing catalyst,performing reactions,analyzing activity data,and characterizing catalyst,the scattered knowledge points are organically integrated into the case.Meanwhile,it stimulates students'interest in learning,helps students to establish a knowledge framework,and enhances students'chemical literacy such as green chemical concepts,innovative spirit,inquiry spirit,and problem-solving ability.
