化工资源有效利用国家重点实验室（北京化工大学）前身为2000年8月成立的可控化学反应科学与技术教育部重点实验室，2006年6月27日由国家科技部批准筹建国家重点实验室，2009年1月4日正式通过验收。
实验室学术委员会由22名专家学者组成，学术委员会主任由中科院院士田禾教授担任，实验室主任由宋宇飞教授担任。
重点实验室密切围绕我国建设资源节约型社会的战略目标，以化工资源有效利用为主攻方向，深入研究相关领域的科学问题与技术集成原理，充分利用北京化工大学化学、化工和材料三个一级学科布局紧凑、专业方向完整的优势，通过学科间的交叉、渗透和整合，针对“化工资源有效利用”的途径，形成了三个有特色的研究方向：插层化学、可控聚合、过程强化。
实验室认真贯彻执行“开放、流动、联合、竞争”的方针，重视科学研究、人才培养、队伍建设和开放交流等各方面的工作。基于北京化工大学的基础及办学宗旨，实验室确定了基础研究与应用研究密切结合的定位，即在开展学术前沿研究的同时，以国家实际需求为切入点，直接进入国民经济建设的主战场。承担一批基础和工程化及产业化研究项目，发表一批高水平的学术论文，申报一批国家和国际发明专利，产出一批具有显示度的科研成果，形成鲜明的应用基础研究特色。
Provisional approval to establish the State Key Laboratory of Chemical Resource Engineering in Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) was given by the Ministry of Science and Technology on 27 June 2006 and final approval was obtained on 4 January 2009, although its predecessor—the former Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Science and Technology of Controllable Chemical Reactions—was founded in August 2000.
The Academic Committee consists of 22 distinguished scientists,with the chairman being CAS Academician Prof. TIAN He. Prof. SONG Yufei is the Director of the Laboratory.
The work of the Laboratory is focused on developing more effective ways of utilizing chemical resources, in order to contribute to the national strategy of building a more resource-efficient society.Chemical Resource Engineering utilizes the latest advances in chemistry and chemical engineering to solve problems in fundamental research and technological development. An interdisciplinary approach is required and the Laboratory brings together the expertise of BUCT academics in the chemical engineering, chemistry and materials science fields. Three major research themes have been established: Intercalation Chemistry,Controlled Polymerization, and Chemical Process Intensification.
The Laboratory follows the principles of “openness, flexibility,collaboration and competition” and emphasizes scientific research,personnel training and academic exchanges. In line with the ethos of BUCT, the Laboratory focuses on both basic and applied research in order to most effectively contribute to the development of the national economy. Grants are obtained from a variety of bodies for fundamental research, basic applied research, and technology transfer, and the work of the Laboratory results in a substantial number of both publications in peer-reviewed journals and national and international patents, as well as the construction of industrial production facilities. It is the combination of fundamental research,applied research and commercial development that gives theLaboratory its distinctive character.
