Research Center Orientation
Our center focuses on the development of theory and technologies about wastewater treatment with the representatives of small reservoir and de-centralized wastewater to ensure the water safety in Three Gorges reservoir. With the theoretical support of electrochemical simulation, we have utilized membrane separation, microbial acclimation and electrochemistry to elaborate the electron transfer mechanism during these treatments and to build the model of water quality parameters and their correlated electrochemical signal. We aim to develop the innovative water quality analyzer, wastewater treatment process and instrument, which can be applied as the demonstration of intelligent solution for safety guarantee system of drinking water source in Three Gorges Reservoir.
