Research Interests

 

 

Water Quality & Treatment Laboratory (WQTL) investigates major water quality issues and develops/optimizes advanced water treatment technologies for save drinking water supply, sustainable water resource management and protection of aquatic ecosystems that are continuing challenging issues in the community of water scientists and engineers worldwide. The current main research includes 1) oxidation/disinfection processes for drinking water treatment and wastewater reclamation and reuse, 2) urine source separation and novel treatment/recovery technologies for sustainable resources management, and 3) gravity-driven membrane (GDM) process as a novel appropriate technology for safe drinking water supply. Therefore, our research areas cover not only urban, centralized systems (e.g. drinking water treatment plants) but also small, decentralized systems that are applicable to community or even single house.

On-going Researches

 

 

Oxidation/disinfection processes for drinking water and wastewater reclamation/reuse

  •  Fate of emerging micropollutants (e.g. antibiotics and resistant gene) during oxidative water treatment

  •  Microbial water quality change during advanced water treatment

  •  Biological activity assessment and structural identification of transformation products of organic micropollutants during oxidative water treatment

  •  Emerging oxidation byproducts (e.g. N-nitroso compounds): analysis, formation mechanism, and mitigation strategy development

​

Urine source separation and novel treatment/recovery technologies for sustainable resources management and water quality protection

  •  Development/optimization of urine stabilization technologies for urine recycling as eco-fertilizer

  •  Fate of hormones/pharmaceuticals and pathogens during urine stabilization and treatment/recovery processes

​

Gravity-driven membrane (GDM) process as a novel appropriate technology for safe drinking water supply

  •  Process understanding: effect of membrane characteristics, water quality, and biological activity on system performance

  •  Process development, optimization, and application: design of proto-type and applications to real world as an appropriate technology
