城乡矿山研究院，主要围绕城乡矿山开发，以有机废物（生活废物、农林废物、畜禽粪便、工业废物）、无机废物（工业灰渣、建筑废渣）、中低温余热余能的资源化与能源化利用技术的开发为研究方向。共分为农林废弃物资源化综合利用系统、畜禽化工工艺系统、近零排放居民小区技术群、无机灰渣建材工艺系统、废油的生物柴油工艺系统、废橡胶综合利用系统、生活垃圾自动化预处理系统、城乡矿山云计算平台八个研究方向。

Institute of Urban and Rural Mines(IURM) is a platform established based on Changzhou University. With academician Xie Ke-Chang as the honorary Dean and academician Chen Yong as the chief scientist, the research interests of this institute focus on the development of urban and rural mines.The research fields include the development of recycling technology and the energy utilization technology of organic wastes ( life waste，agricultural waste, poultry excrement, industrial wastes), inorganic wastes (industrial ash, construction waste residue), and the residue heat and energy at medium and low temperature. The specific research directions are as follows: 1. the comprehensive utilization system of agricultural waste, 2. livestock and poultry chemical process system, 3. nearly zero emission technology in residential area, 4. inorganic ash group building materials processing technology, 5. biodiesel technology systems of waste oil, 6. comprehensive utilization system of waste rubber, 7. the automation pretreatment system of living garbage, 8. cloud computing platform of urban and rural mines.
