Preface

The 2020 6th International Conference on Advances in Energy, Environment and Chemical Engineering (AEECE 2020) was successfully held on June 19, 2020, which was supported by Beijing University of Agriculture, College of Bioscience and Resource Environment, National Taipei University of Technology, Guizhou Minzu University, Feng Chia University and Universiti Malaysia Pahang. The conference was originally scheduled to be held in Jinan, Shandong, China, but switched to be carried out in the form of virtual conference due to the situation of COVID-19 and the implementation of worldwide travel restriction. By adopting online platform, Zoom, we successfully carried out this virtual conference without postponing it to fulfill the aim of providing a communicative forum for experts and scholars in the field of Energy, Environment and Chemical Engineering to share and discuss the latest trends and research achievements. AEECE 2020 also aims to expedite the academic advances in this area and promote the industrialization of academic achievements. With substantial supports from a bunch of renowned universities, we are honored to have invited three distinguished experts to serve as our Conference Chairs. They are Prof. Feiyan Xue, representing Beijing University of Agriculture, Prof. Mohammad Dalour Hossen Beg from Universiti Malaysia Pahang, and Prof. Dongfang Yang from Guizhou Minzu University. The rest of the committee of AEECE 2020 was composed of over forty scholars from various high education universities around the globe. The conference was divided into three parts, including oral presentations, keynote speeches and online discussion. Participants, who performed oral presentations, were given 5-10 minutes each to briefly present their recent research. In the second session, we invited five experts to deliver their keynote speeches. Each expert was allocated about thirty minutes to perform their presentations. They are Prof. Shen-Ming Chen from National Taipei University of Technology, Prof. Yi-Chu Huang from National Pingtung University of Science and Technology, Prof. Kew-Yu Chen from Feng Chia University, Prof. Mohammad Dalour Hossen Beg from Universiti Malaysia Pahang and Prof. Dongfang Yang from Guizhou Minzu University. Both the first and second session were conducted via online collaboration tool, Zoom. Thanks to the above experts’ excellent and profound talks, heated discussion was triggered in the third session. The online discussion was held through a WeChat group, which lasted for about 30-60 minutes and was created to recruit all participants to hold Q&amp;A regarding the oral and keynote presentations. Zoom and WeChat enabled participants to gather around from their own home. We are now pleased to introduce you the proceedings of AEECE 2020, which was compiled from the excellent papers submitted to the conference. The topics of interest include the following three categories, but are not limited to: Energy Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Technology, and Environmental Science and Environmental Engineering. All the papers have been through rigorous review and process to meet the requirements of International publication standard. Now we would like to seize this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to the Conference Chairs, the distinguished keynote speakers, as well as all the audiences. In this special period, COVID-19 did not prevent us from continuing to hold such academic events and spread the state-of-the-art research. We are also expecting more and more experts and scholars from all over the world to join this international event next year. We hope this conference can continue to be held annually with the aim of spreading the most advanced research in the area of Energy, Environment and Chemical Engineering to all scholars around the globe.
