Geological Resource & Engineering(Doctoral Program)

The disciplineisoriginated fromthe earliest undergraduate majorsfounded in 1956 in Radioactive Geological Survey andExploration,RadioactiveGeophysicsExploration, andRadioactiveHydrogeology, and also are key disciplines of the Ministry of Nuclear Industry, Technology and Industry for National Defense and key disciplines of Jiangxi province, national defense characteristics disciplines, Jiangxi province first-class disciplines. In 2012, it was approved to serve the national special needs doctoral talents training program, and in 2014, it was approved to build post-doctoral research station. In 2021, ithasbeenapproved to award doctoral degree in first-level disciplines, covering 4 second-level disciplines, namelyMineralProspecting andExploration,GeophysicsExploration,Hydrogeology andEngineeringGeology, andEarthInformationTechnology.The disciplinefocuses on the strategic needs of China's nuclear power development as well as the needs of local economic and social development. It focuses on the exploration and development of uranium and Non-ferrous metal resources,and thusfour stable research directions have been formed, namely Mineral Survey andExploration,ExplorationGeophysics,Hydrogeology andEngineeringGeology, andGeo-informationTechnology, in the fields of uranium metallogenic theory and exploration technology, 3D geological modeling, and microbial leaching of uranium,which has constructedthe most unique scientific and technological innovation and personnel training system in China.It has teaching and research platforms such as the State Key Laboratory ofNuclearResources andEnvironment, the National Defense Key Laboratory ofRadioactiveGeology andExplorationTechnology, the International Atomic Energy AgencyUraniumGeologyTrainingCenter, and theState-levelExperimentalTeaching andDemonstrationCenter ofRadioactiveGeology.Besides, thedisciplinehas been equipped withNational Defense Science and Technology InnovationTeam, Jiangxi Province Science andTechnologyInnovationTeam andTeachingTeam.Twomajorsof Resource Exploration Engineering, Exploration Technology andEngineeringwith the disciplinehavepassed the International Engineering Education Certification and havebeen approved as a national and provincial first-class professional construction major.

Nuclear Science &Technology(Doctoral Program)

The disciplinebegan in 1956 as an undergraduate major inRadioactiveGeophysicsExploration,RadioactiveRock andMineralAnalysis, andstartedin 1993 to enrollpostgraduate students inNuclearTechnology andApplications, relying on the discipline ofRadioactiveGeology.It was approved to grant master's degree inNuclear Technology andApplication in 2000,awardmaster's degreein first-level disciplines inNuclear Science andTechnology in 2010,andgrant Doctor's degreein first-level disciplines inNuclear Science andTechnology in 2021,starting to enroll the doctorial postgraduatestudentsin 2022.Based on the nuclear energy industry, the discipline has developed three stable researchorientations, namely,NuclearTechnology andApplications,RadiationProtection andEnvironmentalProtection, and NuclearFuelCycle andMaterials. TheEast China University of Technologyhas strong disciplinary features infields ofdeep uranium exploration and nuclear technology exploration, nuclear electronics and radiation detection technology, high-level radioactive waste geological disposal, and radionuclide in the environment,among whichuranium mine logging and quantitative methods, small radon chamber development and atmospheric radon measurement,hasfilledthe gaps in China,and thus making East China University of Technologyone ofleadingresearch institutions in Chinafor high-level radioactive waste clay rock geological disposal research.

Geological Resource & Engineering(Master's Program)

The discipline is originated from the earliest specialty ofRadioactiveGeology andExploration in China, known asTheCradle ofNuclearGeologyTalents in ChinaandThePreciousWealth ofAtomicEnergy in theWorld,and hastrained a large number of talentsin fields ofuranium geological.The disciplinehas formed five researchorientationsaround uranium resources exploration and development, namely,MineralSurvey andExploration,ExplorationGeophysics,EarthInformationTechnology,GeologicalEngineeringandTourism Geoscience andPlanningEngineering,with itsdistinct characteristics of nuclear geology. It hassuchscientific research and teaching platformsasState Key Laboratory of Nuclear Resources andEnvironment, the National Defense Key Laboratory ofRadioactiveGeology andExplorationTechnology, theKeyLaboratory ofDigitalTerritory of Jiangxi Province, andUraniumGeologyTrainingCenter of International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA),NationalExperimentalTeachingDemonstrationCenter ofRadioactiveGeology.

Thediscipline was founded in 1998 with the EnvironmentalMonitoring ofEnvironmentalEngineering, based on the majorsofRadiationScience andAppliedChemistry (EnvironmentalChemistry), which havebeen granted Master's Degreeinthe second-leveldisciplinesrespectivelyin 2004 and 2006. Thedisciplinehas also beenawarded Master's degreein the first-leveldisciplinesin Environmental Science and engineering in 2010,and thusthe specialty ofEnvironmentalEngineering is characteristic specialty and brand specialty of Jiangxi province,with its distinct and promisingresearchesonenvironmental treatment and restoration, mining and metallurgical environmental biotechnology, environmental purification materials, radionuclide transfer and transformation.The researchorientationsinThe disciplinemainly involvethe fields ofenvironmental pollution and remediation and radioactive contamination and prevention. In the field of environmental functional materials, new theoretical models and technologies for efficient removal of environmental pollutants (including radionuclide),such as photocatalysts, magnetic materials and electrochemical materials,arestudied.Infields of soil pollution and remediation, the transport and transformation of radionuclide, heavy metals and organic pollutants in soil and their environmental risksarestudied to develop a new model for efficient remediation of soil pollution.Besides, based on the basic and applied research of the new theory and equipment of bio-metallurgy,thedisciplineaims alsoto build up the acidophilic microbial species library and enrich the research methods of extreme acidophilic Microbial ecology, developa green recovery process suitable for uranium, copper mine tailings and waste rock containing uranium.

Chemistry(Master's Program)

The disciplinewas founded in 1959,andis now the first-class discipline in Jiangxi province,withESI ranking the top 1% of disciplines in the world,andfive secondary disciplines, namedInorganicChemistry,OrganicChemistry,AnalyticalChemistry,PhysicalChemistry and Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics. It has the Department of Applied Chemistry under the College of Chemical Biology andMaterialsScience, the Jiangxi Key Laboratory ofMassSpectrometryScience andInstrument, and the JiangxiProvince's Center forAnalysis andTestingfor itsresearchesand teachings.Italsohas two provincial innovation teams namedMassSpectrometryScience andInstrumentsTeam,NuclearChemistry andNuclearFuelTechnologyTeam.In recent years, the disciplinehasundertakenmore than 200 research projects at the provincial or ministerial level and above, including major equipment projects of the Ministry of Science and Technology, projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, projects funded by the National Defense Administration of Science and industry, projects funded by the Jiangxi Provincial Natural Science Foundation of China, and projects funded by the Jiangxi Provincial University Science and Technology Landing Program,withthe total expenditure close to 100 million yuan, and it has won 4 first-class prizes, 5 second-and third-classPrizes inNaturalScience of Jiangxi province.Besides,The disciplineaims at the major scientific problems and development needs of new and emerging national strategic industries such as new materials and new energy,anda high-level research platform has been set up in the fields of mass spectrometry instrument development, organometallic framework materials, radionuclide functional materials, green synthesis methods and processes, green energy chemistry, etc. Italso possessesthe first scientific research base (namely111Projectin China), the International Joint Research Center ofMassSpectrometryScience andInstrument, theKeyLaboratory of Jiangxi Province, and theBasicExperimentalTeachingDemonstrationCenter of Jiangxi Province.
