Funded Activity Summary

Photoelectrochemical control transport across a photoactive inorganic membrane fabricated by an in situ vapour phase hydrothermal method. Serious global fresh water shortage problems force us to recycle/reuse water. In Australia, this is an urgent issue due to our limited fresh water resources. Complete removal of biohazards (e.g., waterborne pathogens) from treated water is one of the most important aspects of safeguarding water recycling and has been the biggest obstacle for public acceptance. This project aims to tackle the issue by developing a highly efficient and effective new membrane technology that is capable of not just separating the biohazards from the source water but also in situ destroying them at the same time with low energy consumption and self cleaning features.
