Jointly Organised by EVD, CAD, and AMC

Programme Highlights:

Membranes are widely used in water, wastewater, and energy applications, thanks to their high efficiency and simple operation. Exciting developments of novel membranes and membrane-based processes have reported in the recent literature. In this seminar, the speaker will highlight some of the latest research works in his group. Examples of highlights include Aquaporin Inside Biomimetic Membranes (AIMs®) - a technology patented by his group, ultra-permeable membranes with rejection layers of less than 10 nm, membranes for point-of-use disinfection, and strategies for designing membranes with enhanced removal efficiency of endocrine disruptors in the context of wastewater reclamation. Novel membrane processes, such as osmotic membrane bioreactor, will also be introduced.
