Analysis and Application of Industrial Metabolism for Process-oriented Industries

Dr. Bai Lu, a young elite in ecological and environmental protection, serves as a professor at the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences. Specialising in the prevention and control of industrial pollution, she uses industrial metabolism theory to study the mechanisms of material flow and the characteristics of pollutant emissions in industrial processes. Overcoming the limitations of traditional methods, which are overly subjective and imprecise, her innovative research identifies metabolic pathways, quantifies emissions and formulates regional reduction strategies. Dr Bai has earned seven provincial/ministerial science awards, as well as honours such as National Advanced Individual in Pollution Source Census and Outstanding Young Scientist.

Zhang Yue, Senior Engineer at the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences. Specializes in industrial pollution source management, pollution pattern identification, and industrial park symbiotic network construction. Contributed to over twenty national projects, including the Second National Pollution Source Census, heavy air pollution research, and Yangtze/Yellow River ecological initiatives. Developed innovative methodologies for pollution accounting models (Minimum Pollution Generation Benchmark), emission parameter coding systems, and a collaborative pollution-carbon reduction evaluation model. Established national standards for ecological industrial parks, implemented in over seventy parks. Authored over thirty papers, several patents/soft copyrights, monographs, and received provincial/ministerial awards.
