ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY AND MATERIALS
Environmental Chemistry & Materials
This domain applies to physical and chemical materials for environmental treatment applications, with research efforts towards water technology, environmental / sustainable chemistry and environmental material science. To support endeavours such as industrial wastewater treatment, advanced oxidation, sorption, value-creating green products and processes, food safety and water recycling, and other advanced environmental analysis
Its R.E.D efforts are focused around these 3 key areas:
Water Technology
- Industrial waste water treatment
- Innovative advanced oxidation processes
- Rapid drinking water disinfection
- ZLD technology
Environmental Chemistry
- Environmental catalysis and catalytic processes
- Environmental monitoring and toxicity analysis
- Smart reusable sorbents
- Green and sustainable nanotechnology
Environmental Materials Science
- Functional materials derived from biomasses and incineration ash
- Green chemicals and materials from renewable resources
- New materials for non-conventional filtration and separation
- Plastic waste and microplastics
