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
2
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.
