Peng Shaoyi, male, Han nationality, is a native of Liyang, Jiangsu Province. He graduated from the Chemistry Department of Wuhan University in 1939.
Early in his career, Peng researched petroleum refining and organic synthesis. In the 1950s, he then studied catalysts for petroleum refining and chromatographic analysis. Peng organized research on making toluene with synthesized oil C7 distillate dehydrogenate cylization; he developed a catalyst for it and placed it into industrialized production.
In the 1960s, he studied methods to extract arene from diesel oil and put it into practice. Peng also invented high efficiency deoxidized catalysts and nonmetal deoxidized catalysts using active carbon as a carrier. He also organized the research on C1 chemistry.
He was elected as an academician to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1980.
