Notice for the 3rd Platinum Group Metals Innovation Applications Forum, 2026
Release time:
20 Oct,2026
Notice on the Convening of the “Platinum Group Metals Innovative Applications Forum”
To all relevant units:
As the production and sales space for conventional internal‑combustion vehicles comes under pressure, demand for platinum and palladium in automotive exhaust‑aftertreatment catalysis has weakened, leading to a marked decline in consumption within traditional applications. However, emerging sectors—including semiconductors, glass fibers, new energy, environmental protection (water and air purification), fine chemicals, fossil energy, and healthcare—are generating growing demand for platinum‑group metals, offering significant potential for expansion. Accelerating the development of these nascent application markets to offset declines in established areas is a key pathway to ensuring the sustainable growth of platinum‑group metals. To foster deep integration among industry, academia, research institutions, and end‑users, as well as to establish a global cooperation network, this initiative aims to help enterprises seize opportunities presented by technological transformation, broaden their application scope in emerging fields, and expedite the translation of scientific advances into industrial applications. The China Resource Recycling Association will host the Third Platinum‑Group Metals Innovation and Application Forum in Shanghai on November 4, 2026. Relevant details are hereby announced as follows:
I. Time and Location
Forum Date: November 4, 2026
Forum Location: Hyatt Regency Shanghai, Songjiang (No. 3, Lane 599, Guangfulin Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai; Tel: 17274702770)
II. Selected Invited Guests
Liu Shuang — Professor at Shanghai University of Engineering Science
Professor Liu Shuang primarily conducts fundamental research on the preparation and characterization of palladium-based catalysts, as well as their applications in organic synthesis. In 2012, he earned a Ph.D. in Engineering from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the mentorship of Academician Zhang Tao. He subsequently conducted research on heterogeneous catalytic methodologies for organic synthesis at the National Engineering Research Center for Nanotechnology and Applications and the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since 2018, he has been engaged in both research and teaching at Shanghai University of Engineering Science, where he continues to work to this day. As project leader, he has successfully completed more than ten projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and various enterprises and institutions; he has published over 20 SCI‑indexed papers and filed more than 20 patent applications, 15 of which have been granted.
Qu Yiyi—Chief Precious Metals Analyst for Asia-Pacific at Weitai Platinum Industry
Qu Yi has 20 years of research and analytical experience in the metals and mining industries. His research primarily covers platinum-group metals, copper, and nickel. He currently serves as the Asia-Pacific Chief Analyst for Platinum Group Metals at Weitai Platinum. Prior to this, he worked at Anglo American, CRU, and EasyTrade Information.
Liu Zhongneng — Senior Engineer at Sinopec (Shanghai) Petrochemical Research Institute Co., Ltd.
Catalyst Development: Led the development of the SHP, SHN, and SHS series of first-stage hydrogenation catalysts for pyrolysis gasoline, which have been successfully deployed in 12 production units, including several million‑ton‑per‑year ethylene plants. Additionally, the α‑methylstyrene hydrogenation catalyst, the selective hydrogenation catalyst for C4 fractions to remove butadiene, and the complete set of technologies for hydrogenating light ethylene tar have all achieved industrial-scale application for the first time.
Papers and Patents: Published 69 papers (as reported in 2021) and obtained 202 authorized domestic and international invention patents; Baidu Scholar indicates 205 publications with 1,139 citations.
Scientific and Technological Awards: Received nine provincial- and ministerial-level science and technology awards, including the First Prize of the Shanghai Science and Technology Progress Award in 2009 (ranked first), as well as Second Prizes of the China Petrochemical Corporation Science and Technology Progress Award in 2004 and 2007.
Alexey Kornienko—Director of Business Development at Krastsvetmet
With 20 years of solid experience in the precious metals industry, his expertise spans financial modeling, international sales and customs regulations, legal and regulatory developments, R&D management, technical auditing, and engineering management. Within the Industrial Solutions division, he has established a new functional unit focused on the following areas: market intelligence, new product development, product and project management, internal and outsourced R&D and pilot projects, intellectual property management and legal governance, as well as design and construction.
Danila S. Salanin (Hab. Dr.) — Director of the Advanced Solar Energy Laboratory at NUST MISIS
With a background in semiconductor physics and materials engineering, his research focuses on scaling perovskite photovoltaic technology from laboratory‑scale devices to large‑area modules. His work spans low‑dimensional materials, semiconductor doping, and interface engineering, aiming to enhance device efficiency and stability by integrating fundamental materials science with scalable thin‑film processing and industrially compatible photovoltaic manufacturing techniques.
Zhou Xianlian — Metals Focus Consultant
He brings more than 28 years of industry experience in semiconductor manufacturing, specialty materials, and precious metals. He has led extensive field research across East Asia and Southeast Asia, covering both the precious‑metal jewelry and precious‑metal investment sectors, and spearheaded global industrial demand analyses for Metals Focus. He also possesses deep expertise in metallurgical processes and materials development, including roles at Solar Applied Materials involving precious‑metal recycling, refining operations, and product sales, as well as at Materion Corporation, where he was engaged in advanced product development.
Dmitry Izotov — Head of the Nonic Palladium Center
He joined Deloitte CIS’s Corporate Finance practice in 2012, subsequently serving as Deputy Head of the CIS Mining and Metals Development Group and later as Head of the Global International Construction and Basic Materials Development Division. In the heavy industry and digital technology sectors, he has led corporate valuation, business planning, and strategic advisory engagements. Since 2022, he has overseen Novico’s new product development and headed the Palladium Center, successfully driving commercially‑oriented R&D initiatives and the development and commercialization of novel palladium‑based materials.
