Major achievements

The main innovative achievements include:

  • Discovered the ability of solar radiation to promote the aggregation of organic materials, elucidated their molecular structure and the mechanisms by which their physiochemical properties change under light irradiation, and developed a micro-polluted water coagulation device based on the above theory. Compared with the traditional coagulation unit, the device achieves an additional 30% removal of humic acid and 20% additional removal of Chlorella, with competitive application potential;
  • Developed a novel coagulation reagent (CB), filter material (LCFM) , and bio-settlement equipment to achieve the simultaneous removal of organic matter and nutrients from micro-polluted water;
  • Revealed aluminum residue deposition and release characteristics in pipe networks, due to the usage of aluminum-based coagulates, and its influence on the transfer and transformation of heavy metals and other pollutions in the process of drinking water distribution. The above inventions have been adopted by many local waterworks and reported by the Scientific Chinese magazine, providing critical support for the purification and distribution of micro-polluted water.
