RESEARCH INTERESTING
The goal of my research is to understand key chemical processes of current environmental problems. Specifically, I am interested in the reactivity, transformation and fate of emerging contaminants in natural and engineered environments. As the variety and quantity of synthetic chemicals and new materials in use continue to grow, our environment is being affected by ever-increasing number of contaminant agents. The organic emerging contaminants that have been my focus include natural toxins, endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs), pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). These compounds can potentially exhibit adverse ecological impacts and have raised concern among public and regulatory groups about the fate of such compounds in natural aquatic environments and their removal during drinking water, wastewater and water treatment for reuse.
I am principally interested in the Advanced Oxidation / Reduction Processes (AO/RPs) for the removal of emerging contaminants from drinking water and wastewater. AO/RPs are alternatives to traditional treatment and have recently received considerable attention for removal of organic pollutants. AO/RPs typically involve the formation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) as oxidizing species and either hydrated electrons (e-aq) or hydrogen atoms (H•) as reducing species, which can all be utilized in the destruction of organic pollutants present in drinking or wastewater. One of my strong interests is to elucidate the fundamental kinetics and mechanisms of transformation reactions involving these emerging contaminants under AO/RPs.
Additionally, the environmental fate of natural toxins, EDCs and PPCPs in natural water is attracting increasing attention. In surface waters, while biodegradation may be important, it is likely that aboitic processes, such as photo transformation may actually has a greater impact on reducing aqueous concentration of these contaminants. I am mainly interested in the photochemical fate of these emerging contaminants and their fundamental degradation mechanism. My research interests will include directly, indirectly photodegradation of emerging contaminants, the formation of reactive oxygen species (·OH, 1O2, O2·-) during photosensitized oxidation and their reaction pathways with chemical pollutants. My ultimate goal is to build the knowledge basis that allows us to predict the environmental fate of numerous potential contaminants.
