Waste Water Recovery Technologies Laboratory
General Information
It conducts various R&D activities on the development of electrochemical processes (electro-gain/accumulation, electrodialysis, electrocoagulation, electrooxidation, electro-flotation, etc.), water and wastewater applications, breaking down and utilizing other wastes.
It carries out R&D activities on membrane processes, recovery/recycling of waste and wastewater and new product applications (membrane distillation, micro-filtration, ultra-filtration, nano-filtration, reverse osmosis) in various manufacturing sectors.
It develops environment-friendly and innovative economic methods to be used in water and wastewater applications while examining the process and reactor design and optimization processes.
It conducts various R&D activities on the removal of pesticides and organic pollutants in the water by combining advanced oxidation methods such as chemical/electrooxidation, ozonization, ultrasound/cavitation.
