About

The Integrated Water Processing Technologies research group focuses on advancing sustainable and efficient solutions for water treatment, desalination, recycling, and resource recovery. The group combines expertise in chemical engineering, environmental science, and process optimization to address pressing global water challenges. Key research areas include the development of innovative separation technologies such as filtration and membrane technologies, adsorption, advanced oxidation processes, and desalination methods that minimize energy consumption and environmental impact. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and cutting-edge technology, the group aims to integrate and optimize the existing technologies that will lead to improvement of water quality and accessibility, supporting environmental sustainability and public health. 

Goals and Objectives

  • Develop advanced separation technologies such as membranes, adsorption, and advanced oxidation that are capable of selectively removing contaminants in water at lower energy costs and with minimal environmental impact.
  • Design and implement technologies that enable the recovery of valuable resources (e.g., minerals, nutrients) from wastewater streams. This objective supports the circular economy by transforming waste into reusable resources and minimizing residual waste.
  • Integrate process technologies that can reduce the energy and environmental footprint of desalination and water treatment systems. This includes exploring integrated/hybrid processes that integrate renewable energy sources and optimizing existing methods to make desalination and water/wastewater treatment more sustainable and accessible.
