E-mail:xianglan@tsinghua.edu.cn

Dr.XIANG Lan received her Ph.D. degree at Institute of Chemical Metallurgy, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1992 and worked there until 1994. She worked as a visiting scholar at the Kochi University, Shikoku National Industrial Research Institute and Hongkang Baptist University in 95- 98. She became a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Tsinghua University in 2008. Working in inorganic material and chemical engineering areas, her researches include the control of structure and surface of micro/nano materials, separation and composite, powder and hydrothermal technologies, focusing mainly on the separation and utilization of the bulk and poor minerals (P/S/Ti/Fe/Zn/Mn/Ca/Mg,etc.), and some of the technologies have been used in industries in China. She has published more than 150 SCI. papers in journals as Applied Catalysis B-Environmental, Small, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Journal of Materials Chemistry, Sensors and Actuators B-Chemical, Applied Surface Science, Ceramics International, CrystEng Comm, Particuology, etc., and got more than 40 authorized/open patents. She has acted as the vice chairman for 2 international conferences and delivered more than 30 international invited speeches, and has got 2 prizes by CPCIA and 2 authenticated achievements. She is now the vice chair of ISHA and inorganic acid-base-salt council of CIESC, and the member of comprehensive utilization council of non- ferrous resources of NFSOC.
