In these days, the word ‘convergence’ is widely used in various research fields since ‘converged’ recent research showed tremendous contributions to our society. Therefore, in order to lead water treatment and environment research field, our research group is focused on these ‘converged’ science and engineering studies, which are water science combined with energy science. Our research group focus on four major topics as follows: desalination, the application of electrochemistry for water treatment, safe water production with appropriate technology, and precious metal recovery using battery technology.
The research on desalination deals with capacitive deionization process and membrane process. In these processes, energy consideration is essential so that energy recovery is frequently pursued. The study on safe water engages electrochemical reaction for oxidant generation in order to purify water and this approach contains the fabrication of new electrode material. In addition, if required, this research focuses on safe water production with the “New Appropriate Technology” development for the developing or underdeveloped countries. The resource recovery intends to recover valuable metals from brine water, sea water, or wastewater. New paradigm embracing battery technology combined with water treatment is vigorously pursued in developing this technology. Overall, we aim to enhance the quality of human life with future-oriented convergence technology.
