Research Topic

Inorganic Membrane Fabrication

The major research efforts focus on the manufacture and performance test of ceramic membrane fabricated by plasma spray coating technique. Various surface modification techniques are adopted to prepare inorganic membranes for different applications.

Membrane Filtration Mechanism and Membrane Module Design

Our present interest lies on the study of mechanisms of microfiltration for soft gel particles, affinity ultrafiltration for protein mixture separation and nanofiltraton for wastewater treatment.

The goal of module design is to build a platform in the center for membrane module design. By utilizing CFD simulation technique and verifying with experimental data, the criteria for optimum design or modification can be provided. The design of spiral-wound and hollow fiber module are currently under conduction.

Multi-scale Simulation

We currently utilize the MD and MC simulation techniques to study the gas transport mechanism through membrane. The next step is to build a multi-scale simulation platform for examining the microscopic mechanism of membrane fouling.
