• Drinking water quality, supply, treatment and purification,
• Wastewater and industrial wastewater treatment using physical/chemical processes,
• Transition metal catalysis,
• TiO2 photocatalysis, UV-enhanced technologies, Fenton’s and Photo-Fenton’s hydroxyl-radical based processes,
• Other radical-based (i.e., superoxide, sulfate) destructive chemical oxidation technologies, and
• Membrane processes for drinking water, wastewater, and industrial water purification.

The laboratory is equipped with various technologies for the treatment and purification of water. These include:

• Novel UV/TiO2 suspension-type and immobilized-type photocatalytic reactors for water treatment;
• UV and UV/H2O2 flow through photoreactors for water treatment and disinfection (Trojan UVLogic),
• Transition metal-based reactors for water treatment,
• Reactors for dark and UV-enhanced oxidation of organics using the Fenton’s reaction,
• Reverse osmosis systems,
• Membrane systems for studying the effect of fouling and biofouling in membrane processes for water purification, and
• Typical instrumentation and devices for determining drinking water quality and UV radiation properties.
