Professor Yi Hua Ma is the James H. Manning Chaired Professor of Chemical Engineering and

Director, Center for Inorganic Membrane Studies at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Professor

Ma has been active in research involving inorganic membranes, inorganic materials, their

adsorptive and transport properties in gases and liquids and industrial applications, including

hydrogen production for fuel cell applications. In the past 20 years, Professor Ma has

concentrated his research on inorganic membranes with special emphasis on composite Pd and

Pd-alloy membranes for high temperature hydrogen separation and production applications. He

has published extensively in the areas of inorganic membranes, adsorption and diffusion in

porous inorganic adsorbents, mathematical modeling of transport processes, process

intensification and hydrogen separation and purification. He has authored five book chapters and

held eight US patents.

Professor Ma has received several awards including 1994 WPI Board of Trustees' Award for

Outstanding Research and Creative Scholarship, NASA Space Act Awards for the creative

development of a technical innovation for reportable item MFS-26480, the 2007 AIChE Institute

Award for Excellence in Industrial Gases Technology and the WPI Chapter Sigma Xi

Outstanding Senior Faculty Research Award, 2010 William R. Grogan Award for Support of the

Mission of WPI and 2012 WPI Board of Trustees Chairman’s Exemplary Faculty Prize. He has

been a Fellow of AIChE since 1999 and was Head of the Chemical Engineering Department at

WPI for 10 years between 1979 and 1989. He has been the Director of the Center for Inorganic

Membrane Studies since 1987 and has managed the research collaboration between the Center

staff and Center member companies including Alcoa, ExxonMobil Corporation, Texaco, United

Technologies Corporation, and Amoco Chemical Company. Professor Ma consults regularly for

the US government and US and international corporations.

Professor Ma has collaborated with Shell E&P International, Inc. on a major project with funding

over $3.5 million over a seven-year period for hydrogen production using his patented palladium

membrane technologies. The technologies developed in Professor Ma’s Laboratory have been

successfully transferred to CRI/Criterion Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell, for

commercialization (http://www.cricatalyst.com/catalysts/membranes.html). This is the first

commercially available composite Pd-porous-metal membranes since the discovery of the

hydrogen permeation property of Pd by Graham over 100 years ago.

Since 2007, Professor Ma has been working with NETL (National Energy Technology

Laboratory) of US Department of Energy on a major grant from US DOE for integrating his

patented technology into an IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) for power

generation and hydrogen production with almost $9 million total funding. His most recent

success in developing composite Pd and Pd/alloy membranes for IGCC is the successful testing

of his membranes at NCCC (National Carbon Capture Center) using a slip stream from an

operating coal gasifier. This is the first time that Pd membranes were ever tested in an actual

operating coal gasifier. As a result, his team was one of the two teams down selected from 4

teams in Phase 1 for the Phase 2 funding of the program to construct a Pd membrane hydrogen

separation unit producing 25 lb/H2/day from an actual coal gasifier syngas (3 years, total funding

$4 million). Collaborators (Subcontractors) for the Phase 2 program include Johnson Matthey,

MTR (Membrane Technology and Research), T3 Scientific Inc. LLC, and Power Systems

Development Facility/National Carbon Capture Center Southern Service Company.
