[Two Sessions] Zhang Yongming, deputy to the National People's Congress: Establish a pilot platform for new chemical materials for enterprises

Zhang Yongming, deputy to the National People's Congress, chief scientist of Shandong Dongyue Group, and director of the State Key Laboratory of Fluorine-Containing Functional Membrane Materials, recently submitted a proposal for the establishment of a pilot-scale experimental platform for new chemical materials, emphasizing that the establishment of a pilot-scale experimental platform for new chemical materials is an effective It is of great significance to solve the current scientific and technological research and development problems in this field.
Zhang Yongming introduced that new chemical materials are the basis for the maintenance and development of the national economy, people's lives, and national defense construction. Technological innovation in this field is particularly important. These small-scale scientific research results must go through the pilot scale-up test and succeed before they can be produced in chemical plants, and the products can be sold in the market to meet the needs of the people.

"However, the chemical production process is complex and the reaction conditions are harsh. The hazardous chemicals involved are inflammable, explosive, toxic and harmful, and have high safety risks. Once the control is not in place, an accident will easily cause heavy casualties and property losses. Therefore, the national emergency management The department has introduced strict measures to prevent the occurrence of safety accidents, and these measures stipulate that all new chemical projects and renovation projects must undergo environmental assessment and safety assessment.”

"However, it is inappropriate to apply these strict regulations to the chemical pilot test. The products of the pilot test are only samples and cannot be treated the same as mass-produced chemical products." Zhang Yongming emphasized.

Zhang Yongming further explained that the value of the preliminary small test research can only be determined after the pilot test. The pilot test process is a stage of testing and research, not a production process. The amount of samples processed is also limited, and it is impossible to submit fixed safety and environmental assessment data. Since it is unreasonable to require safety assessment and environmental assessment in the pilot test stage, the scientific and technological innovation vitality of new chemical material enterprises is currently hindered, which hinders the development of the field of new chemical materials.

"To promote the transformation of small-scale test results, we must build bridges and open up roads." For this reason, Zhang Yongming suggested that chemical new material enterprises should set up a pilot-scale incubation platform to solve the current problems in scientific and technological research and development in this field. Relevant enterprises can apply for the establishment of a pilot test platform, and the municipal first-level environmental protection and safety supervision department will organize experts to conduct demonstrations before approval. According to the requirements of different pilot test platforms, clarify the research scope involved in the platform, and delineate the scope of environmental protection and safety assurance for the platform. After the enterprise's pilot-scale test platform is approved, the pilot-scale scale-up experiments of various small-scale test results will be carried out on the premise of ensuring safety, and the small-scale scientific research results will be transformed into productivity as soon as possible, and the pace of scientific and technological innovation will be accelerated.
