An innovative wastewater treatment system for the removal of persisting organic pollutants (POPs)

光催化是一种新兴的废水处理技术，能够将持久性有机污染物完全转化为无害的化合物。在这项研究中，我们将结合光州科学技术研究所(GIST)在水回用技术方面的专业知识，以及忠南国立大学(CNU)在高级氧化工艺方面的专业知识，与UTS在物理化学处理工艺方面的专业知识相结合，开发一种新型的光催化复合系统。通过长期合作，我们的目标是：(I)建立去除持久性有机污染物的创新混合系统，(Ii)准备行业赠款，(Iii)对研究生进行研究培训，以及(Iv)帮助将我们的研究成果商业化，以便国内受益和出口。

Photocatalysis is an emerging technology in wastewater treatment that is capable of completely converting POPs into harmless compounds. In this research, we will combine the expertise of Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) in water reuse technologies, and Chonnam National University (CNU) in advanced oxidation processes with that of UTS' in physico-chemical treatment processes to develop a novel photocatalysis hybrid system. Through long term collaboration we aim to: (i) establish an innovative hybrid system for POPs removal, (ii) prepare industry grants, (iii) research training of postgraduate research students, and (iv) help to commercialize our research outcomes for domestic benefit and export.
