Hong Sui  is currently a professor in Tianjin University, China. She received M.S. degrees from the School of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Hebei University of Technology in 2002 and Ph.D. degrees  from the School of Chemical Engineering and Technology Tianjin University in 2013. Her current research interests are VOCs treatment technique, remediation technology and sustainable development of contaminated soil,utilization of unconventional petroleum.

She has worked for 10 years for the School of Chemical Engineering and Technology of Tianjin University. She has published more than 40 academic papers and she has applied for more than ten patents. Besides, she has written four books and she has been involved in more than 20 scientific research projects.

In terms of teaching and talents cultivation: She has undertaken the classroom teaching of Chemical Innovation Practice, Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in Chemical Engineering, and Computer Simulation of Separation Process etc with a total teaching workload of 512.4 standard class hours in recent 5 years, and have obtained excellent teaching evaluation.She has instructed my students to participate in the National University Chemical Engineering Design Contest for the successive 3 years during 2013-2017, and they have obtained the gold medal, the second prize and the first prize respectively. She has instructed the graduation field work of 9 Canadian undergraduates for successively 5 years ever since 2012, which promoted the international communication and cooperation of undergraduates. In recent 5 years, She instructed totally 24 undergraduates, 24 postgraduates (16 of them graduated, and 8 are still at school), and assisted in guidance of 18 PhD graduates (10 of them graduated, and 8 are still at school).

In terms of academic, innovation and scientific significance, she has persist the idea for a long time that they will aim at the important demands of the country in scientific research, put stress on both fundamental research and industrial application, taking the interface science as the foundation and master line. She has obtained a number of innovative achievements in such domains as the development, clean and efficient utilization of unconventional petroleum, remediation technology and sustainable development of contaminated soil. The  mechanism of mass transfer, migration and transformation among multi-phases and multi-components, the molecular interface mechanics, and the separation strengthening method involved in the research area of development, clean and sufficient utilization of unconventional petroleum resource are applied in the environment remediation field, which then forms the research system featured in intersected chemical, chemical engineering, and environment science. Highlight innovative points:  1. Based on the thermodynamics and interface theory, she has learned the essential factors affecting and limiting peeling of asphaltic oil from the surface of silt, and revealed the separation mechanism of asphaltic oil, water, clay and other fine solid particles in terms of dynamics and molecular action.  2. She promoted for the first time the application of a kind of low viscosity ionic liquid and green reversible tertiary ammonium salt in extraction of oil sand bitumen. She preliminarily probed into the promotion mechanism, and found the practicability of solving the problems of difficult recovery of ionic liquid and poor quality of asphaltic oil from the source. 3. She applied the chemical engineering transfer and separation theory into the migration, mass transfer, interaction, transformation rules and remediation process of complex pollution components in porous media at different spatial and temporal scales. Especially for hazardous chemicals and persistent refractory organic compounds, she put forward a new set of methods for analysis, remediation and evaluation.

Scientific significance: She studied and solved several bottleneck problems which cannot be conquered using the hot water washing method of Canada at present, i.e. mature tailings problem, waste water treatment problem, refining problem caused by fine clay particles carried in asphaltic oil etc. Especially the oil sand green extraction technique with the aid of ionic liquid and switching solvent, has the extreme advantage of high-efficient and green. Her work has placed a base for future industrial promotion of oil sand high-efficient and green utilization technique, and relief the important national stress of excessive dependence on foreign crude oil in China. Moreover, it solved the fundamental problem limiting and affecting migration, scattering and elimination of contaminated substances from porous media interface. They applied the green solvents and promoters developed which can decorate and change the characteristics of the porous media interfaces in the environment restoration, which enabled the great-leap-forward development for future solving of the separation problem of complex pollution components from the porous media interface. 

In terms of subject construction and social service: As a skeleton member, she participated actively in the construction of Phase II and III of “985” project, construction of the innovation team of the Ministry of Education, and construction of the Cooperative Innovation Center. She applied the oil sand utilization technique, separation technique, soil remediation technique and VOCs treatment technique with independent intellectual property rights in SINOPEC, Puyang Maiqi Science & Technology Co., Ltd., Tianjin Dagang Oil Field and other enterprises, served social and industrial production. As the deputy director of the Sino Russian green chemical industry and site restoration research institute，she assisted the school and the director in liaison, cooperation with the Russian party and administration work. As a member of the Global Chinese Conference on Chemical Engineering, she coordinated with the Chairman to do the website construction and assortment of the address book etc. Moreover, she behaves as the Responsible Reader of almost a dozen international journals
