Water-Tech Laboratory
Our group focuses on developing water-treatment processes and technologies by introducing natural and induced photons, radicals, reactive species and nanoparticles into the water, using UV photocatalysis- and ozone-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), as well as Reuse technologies via hybrid biofiltration, ozonation and short soil aquifer treatment (SAT) of secondary effluent. We’ve assembled an AOP pilot […] Read More >
method developed for the extraction of Azithromycin from environmental samples
Hospital wastewaters (HWW) provide a significant point-source of pharmaceuticals into the environment, especially for substances that occur at much higher concentrations in HWW than in urban wastewater. Cytotoxic or cytostatic anti-cancer drugs, derived from oncology wards, are known to be carcinogenic, mutagenic and fetotoxic. Anti-cancer pharmaceuticals are usually found in HWW. Due to their genetically […] Read More >
Electrochemically Identifying and Measuring Genotoxins in Water
The Invention A field deployable device for near real-time identification and quantitiatve measurement of genotoxins in water. The device contains a low cost disposable probe head which quickly and accurately alerts if genotoxins are present at dangerous levels. The probe consists of genetically modified bacteria which are sensitive to various genotoxins and produce an electrical […] Read More >
Agrivoltaics with Spectral Beam Splitting
Agri-Photovoltaics (Agrivoltaics, APV) is an emerging field with rapidly growing interest. However, the typical APV layout is no different than standard PV farms. Because standard PV panels essentially block all sunlight, the field density is highly compromised to allow sufficient visible light to reach the crops, thus significantly reducing the potential electrical output from the […] Read More >
System and Method for Determining Design Parameters for Marine Infrastructure
In the 60s-70s, a remarkable advancement was reached: instruments for directional wave measurements were developed. Data processing techniques based on potential wave theory enabled for the first time the evaluation of wave directional spectra. However, the irrotational potential theory lacks essential terms of waves and ambient shearing current interactions. By constructing suitable simulations, we proved […] Read More >
Highly Active and Stable Multifunctional Low-Pressure Ammonia Synthesis Catalyst
The Haber process for synthesis of ammonia is one of the most studied and important reaction of the last century. Ammonia is used mostly as a feedstock for fertilizer, but has gained considerable interest as a hydrogen carrier in a future hydrogen economy owing toits specific energy content and ease of transportation. The Haber process, […] Read More >
