Academician Yadong Li of Tsinghua University paid a visit to Lideheng for an exchange, jointly exploring new avenues for the application of single-atom catalyst technology.
On October 20, 2025, Professor Li Yadong of Tsinghua University and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences led a delegation to Beijing Lideheng Environmental Engineering Co., Ltd. for an inspection and exchange. The visit was attended by company leaders including Chairman Lu Laiyin, Vice Chairman Lu Jianan, and Executive Deputy General Manager Bao Yijian. Single-atom catalysts have already undergone successful on-road testing in automotive exhaust applications, and single-atom precious-metal catalysts can maximize atomic utilization while reducing the amount of precious metals required. The two sides engaged in an in-depth discussion on the application of single-atom precious-metal dispersion technology in CO control within steel plant sintering machines, injecting new momentum into Lideheng’s R&D and engineering implementation in the field of CO emission reduction.
At the outset of the exchange, Lu Jianan, Vice Chairman of Lideheng, extended a warm welcome on behalf of the company to Academician Li Yadong and provided an overview of the company’s business segments, including ultra‑low emission technologies for industrial exhaust gases, desulfurization of blast furnace and coke oven gas, catalytic oxidation of CO in steel plant sintering flue gases, and auxiliary equipment for nuclear power generation. Academician Li Yadong commended Lideheng’s achievements in atmospheric pollution control and offered a detailed presentation on the mechanisms, characteristics, and applications of single‑atom catalysts. Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the six key air pollutants, and its treatment in industrial exhaust streams is still in its early stages, presenting substantial market potential. Currently, CO catalysts used in steel plant sintering machines rely on precious metals, which are costly, require large quantities, are prone to poisoning, and deliver poor cost‑effectiveness. By contrast, the application of single‑atom dispersion technology in CO catalysts reduces precious metal usage, extends catalyst life, enhances cost efficiency, and holds promising prospects for commercial deployment. The two parties engaged in thorough discussions regarding collaboration on single‑atom technology for CO removal in steel plant sintering processes and for the treatment of non‑methane total hydrocarbons in coking flue gases, ultimately reaching consensus to pursue in-depth cooperation and jointly develop single‑atom catalyst technologies.
This visit by Academician Li Yadong for inspection and exchange not only provided Lideheng with cutting-edge insights into CO‑control technologies and innovative R&D directions, but also forged a bridge for collaboration between the two parties. Taking this exchange as an opportunity, Lideheng will continue to deepen its commitment to the environmental protection sector, leveraging its advanced technologies and extensive engineering expertise to contribute to industrial exhaust‑gas treatment.
