About the Speaker
Dr. Lijuan Zhang obtained a PhD degree in environmental
chemistry from the Department of Chemistry, National University of Singapore
(NUS) in 2017. Co-enrolled under Singapore-Peking-Oxford research and
enterprise program at the NUS Environmental Research Institute from 2012 to
2016.His interest focus on applied biological fuel cells for pollutant removal
and renewable energy generation from wastewater.
Talk
Information
Energy crisis and water pollution are issues of
considerable concerns today. In seeking a balance between protection of
environment and conservation of energy, the microbial fuel cell (MFC) has been
developed. The
wide application in contaminants elimination and resources recovery makes MFC
technology a competitive tool in environmental and energy engineering. However,
majority of experiments were conducted using synthetic wastewater in the
laboratory. Development of an
economical MFCto scale up the
practical applicationis still under investigation. In this study, various MFC-based technologies have
been developed for pollutant
removal, electricity generation, toxicity sensing, CO2 reduction and water quality monitoring as well as resources (metallic elements
and valuable chemicals) recovery from real wastewater.Systematic studies on
MFC performance under various operating conditions will provide valuable
information for practical implementation.
