Novel Nanomaterials for Photocatalytic Water Purification - Science and Application

水正迅速成为澳大利亚最重要的自然资源，迫切需要对家庭用水（灰水）和工业用水进行再利用和循环利用，以及利用更大规模的雨水收集。该项目的成果将是一种能够从水中去除有机物质（生物和非生物）的技术，使废水的使用范围更广。这项技术将在提供未来的水安全，以及发展涉及水处理技术制造和出口的新产业方面发挥重要作用。该项目直接涉及国家优先研究领域的水，以及涉及更多的水的再利用和再循环的国际优先事项。

Water is rapidly becoming Australia's most critical natural resource, and there is an urgent need to re-use and recycle water from domestic use (graywater) and industry, as well as utilisation of larger scale harvesting of rainwater. The outcome of this project will be a technology which can remove organic material (biological and non-biological) from water, enabling a greater range of uses of wastewater. This technology will play a significant role in delivering future water security, and developing new industries involved in manufacture and export of water treatment technologies. This project directly addresses the National Priority Research area of water, and international priorities involving greater re-use and recycling of water.
