Dr. Cunhui Lin | Petrochemistry | Research Excellence Award
Lecturer | Guangdong University of Petrochemical Technology | China
Dr. Cunhui Lin is a chemical engineering researcher specializing in heavy-oil upgrading, green conversion of inferior feedstocks, and petroleum-based carbon material development. His work focuses on transforming low-grade oils such as waste lubricants, phenolic tar, ethylene tar, and FCC slurry into high-value products through advanced thermal treatment, co-carbonization, hydrogen-transfer modulation, and carbon material synthesis. He has made notable contributions to understanding the structural evolution, flocculation behavior, and carbonization mechanisms of heavy aromatic fractions, enabling improved production of mesophase pitch, needle coke, carbon microbeads, and other high-end carbon materials. His research also extends to process optimization in ethylene cracking and the development of analytical methods for petroleum coke, slurry oil particulates, and polar compound characterization. Dr. Lin has authored multiple peer-reviewed publications and holds several invention patents related to heavy-oil upgrading and analytical methodology. He contributes actively as a reviewer for leading journals in energy, fuels, and safety science. According to Scopus, he has 137 citations across 18 indexed publications with an h-index of 8, reflecting the impact and growing recognition of his scientific output in the fields of heavy-oil conversion, petroleum processing, and carbon material engineering.
