New coal chemical industry in China such as coal gasification syngas production and coal-based methanol production is introduced, including comprehensive utilization of coal resource, low carbon chemical industry, selection of reaction conditions, achievements and characteristics of new coal chemical industry in China.

Based on the undefined status of chemical education as a scientific research field in China, this paper discusses the necessity of chemical education research, the origin of chemical education research and its international academic status,the comparability of chemical education research and chemical research, the characteristics of chemical education research, and the scientific principles of chemical education research.

Based on gibbs free energy-oxidation state diagram, correlation diagram, and important compounds, this paper studies the teaching of manganese element and it's compounds preliminarily in order to provide a new method in teaching of element parts of inorganic chemistry.

Dess-Martin oxidant is an important reagent for oxidizing hydroxyl compounds to aldehydes and ketones in organic synthesis, which is routinely prepared under anhydrous and anoxybiotic conditions. Here we demonstrate the optimized preparation method with 2-iodobenzoic acid as the starting material for the synthesis of Dess-Martin oxidant under laboratory conditions.

Phenolphthalein is one of the most common acid-base indicators.It is colorless when pH is below 8.2 and red when pH is between 8.2 and 10.0.But little attention was paid to the phenomenon of phenolphthalein fading slowly and colorless eventually in strong alkaline solution.By measuring absorbance change of solution of phenophthalein while it fades slowly in strong alkaline solution,rate constant and reaction order of phenolphthalein are determined.This experiment can help students understand basic concepts of chemical kinetics better.

Two methods for adjusting extraction liquid volume in Soxhlet apparatus are suggested. One method is laying a multi-level cylindrical glass frame in extracting vessel; another is producing some knobs on the inner wall of extracting vessel. The aim of adjusting extraction liquid volume is achieved by changing the number of glass blocks in two modified Soxhlet apparatuses.

This paper investigates content demand of high school chemistry experiment in normal universities, constructs chemistry experiment curricula system and puts forward experiment teaching modes.

This paper discussed the structure of study process using theory of information processing by Gagne, the meaning of "multiple intelligence" and five types of problems of"problems continuum" theory. According to students' intelligence development level, five types of problems were carried out in chemistry teaching design. Teaching results showed that there were significant differences (P<0.01) in students' score, interest, attention, thinking ability and interactive effect before and after the experiment. The "problem continuum" teaching mode could improve students' knowledge and sublimate their thinking, and develop students' ability of multiple intelligence, divergent thinking, exploration, innovation and practice in the process of inquiry experiment.

Teaching contents and teaching mode with characteristics have been constructed for the course of chemistry instruction design according to principles of chemistry teaching. Learning theory was taught with lead-in teaching method. Chemical knowledge was classified by learning theory and teaching examples were designed according to cognitive principles. Training of teaching design and simulated teaching were carried out in order to deepen their knowledge and understanding of chemistry teaching theories. The result showed that students' instruction design capacity and teaching capacity had been developed perfectly in 5 sessions postgraduate and 3 sessions undergraduate students.

The course of chemistry instrument drawing, which is a professional limited selective course, is important to improve the ability of writing and drawing on blackboard for pre-service teachers, but it has few class hours and large class capacity. The application of micro-lecture in teaching of chemistry instrument drawing not only solved the difficulties existed in teaching, but also improved classroom teaching effect and ability of writing and drawing on blackboard of pre-service teachers as far as possible.

A survey of professional quality of pre-service chemistry teachers in Hengyang Normal University was given. The results showed that professional dedication, professional skills, creative spirit and volition of pre-service chemistry teachers should be further improved and their occupational planning should also be definite. Some suggestions were put forward according to the results.
