The research team for full-volume resource utilization of solid waste, led by Professor Pan Aifang, brings together Associate Professor Ma Yuzhao from the College of Materials Science and Engineering at Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology (XAUAT), Distinguished Research Fellow Professor Ma Runyong from the Institute of Earth Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences (also affiliated with Chang'an University), and a number of industrial technical experts. This multidisciplinary group constitutes an industry-university-research collaborative team that integrates theoretical innovation, technology R&D, and engineering practice. Since 2006, the team has been deeply engaged in the field of bulk solid waste resource utilization, pioneering a full-volume utilization theory centered on catalytic activation, encapsulated in the paradigm of "retaining the sand while extracting the gold." The resulting low-cost, low-energy full-volume resource utilization technologies enable simultaneous separation and high-value conversion of both major and trace elements from over 30 types of bulk solid waste, including low-grade ores, metal tailings, and coal-based solid wastes. The technology has undergone complete validation from laboratory-scale to pilot-scale testing. Since 2016, it has successfully passed industrial-scale trials on production lines at leading enterprises including Chinalco Shandong Aluminum Plant and Hanzhong Zinc Industry, and has now entered the stage of promotion and application.
