Sinopec Research Institute of Petroleum Processing reports on the successful implementation of Chemspeed’s enabling, automated zeolite synthesis workflow

February 3, 2014

Prof. Xuhong Mu and Prof. Yongrui Wang from Sinopec Research Institute of Petroleum Processing state: “Chemspeed’s AUTOPLANT ZEO Robotic Platform together with the Workflow Management Software provides faster and better zeolite synthesis. Reproducibilities over 20 fully automated 100mL reactors per run are within ±5%. The physico-chemical properties of zeolites produced proved to be scalable to 2-Liter stainless-steel autoclave. Varying a suite of raw materials with different physico-chemical properties, the ratios of n(SDA)/n(SiO2) and the ratios of n(H2O)/n(SiO2), the productivity could be increased by a factor of 10. Zeolites were reproducibly synthesized in high solid-content (viscous) regimes.” About Sinopec Research Institute of Petroleum Processing SINOPEC Research Institute of Petroleum Processing (RIPP), founded in 1956, is a comprehensive research and development organization specialized in petroleum refining and petrochemical engineering subordinated to SINOPEC Corporation. It is mainly devoted to the development and application of petroleum refining technologies, while laying stress on petroleum refining-petrochemical integration and focusing on the R&D of corresponding petrochemical technologies as well. In the recent years, it has been reinforcing its innovation in new alternative fuel and energy sources. It is now in the process of transforming itself into an all-directional energy R&D organization mainly engaged in petroleum refining and in petroleum refining-petrochemical integration as well.

Autonomous Synthesis and Inverse Design of Electrochromic Polymers with High Efficiency and Accuracy

The design and synthesis of functional polymers, aimed at targeted properties through specific structures, have long been challenged by their complex and often nonlinear structure− property relationships. Key processes, including knowledge accumulation for predictive design and experimental refinement and validation, are traditionally labor-insensitive and timeconsuming, making it difficult to balance accuracy and efficiency.

Localization, inspection, and reasoning (LIRA) module for autonomous workflows in self-driving laboratories

Self-driving labs (SDLs) combine robotic automation with artificial intelligence (AI) to allow autonomous, high-throughput experimentation. However, robot manipulation in most SDL workflows operates in an open-loop manner, lacking real-time error detection and error correction. This can reduce reliability and overall efficiency.

An Automation Platform for the Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Complex Sulfated and Branched Glycans

Diverse collections of well-defined glycans are needed to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which these biomolecules mediate biological and disease processes. Several automation approaches have been introduced to accelerate the enzymatic synthesis of complex glycans. These methodologies have, however, provided only relatively simple oligosaccharides due to limitations of glycosyl transferase selectivity.
