始于自发,曾经零星,渐成大流——国内催化科学史研究概述

An Overview of Research on the History of Catalysis Science in China

国内催化史最早的工作可追溯至民国初期的化学史著作,如《化学史通考》已零星述及催化源流,其时尚无专门催化史;之后催化专著或以催化为关键技术的著作得以出版,始常见开篇缕述催化史,如《最新化学工业大全》等。进入新中国时期,随催化学科建制化与石油开发大潮兴起等客观条件形成,催化史研究开始有了独立、专门的工作,张大煜、郭燮贤等老一辈催化专家在此领域做出开拓之功。但也仍多见于化学史、催化科学、涉催化应用技术等专文专著中。近数年来,催化史专著陆续出版,如辛勤的《催化史料》《中国催化名家》等,工作渐多。

The research work of history of catalysis science can trace back to the beginning of Republic of China.The earlier work always affiliated to the history of chemistry,e.g.the chapter of catalysis in History of Chemistry.Thereafter,it can be gradually found in some monographs on catalysis,e.g.The Newest Chemical Engineering Series showing at the beginning of these books.After the foundation of the People’s Republic of China,the research work of catalysis starts to be independent,e.g.the pioneer work of Zhang Dayu,Guo Xiexian,etc.Besides,it also found in the books of chemical history,of catalysis science and of catalysis used as key technique.Recently,the monographs of history of catalysis science have been published,e.g.Documents of History of Catalysis(Cuihua Shiliao),Scientist of Catalysis in China.,all edited by Xin Qin,etc.
