Opportunities and Challenges for Advanced Materials in Water Treatment and Reuse
Prof. Pedro Alvarez (a TISED Scholar-in-Residence) brings together experts from academia, government and industry to share opportunities and sustainable approaches on the application of engineered nanomaterials for water treatment and reuse!
On August 28th and 29th, 2017, TISED will host a two-day Research Workshop Program convening various stakeholders to on the topic of water treatment. We will also host a public event on August 28th: "Opportunities and Challenges for Advanced Materials in Water Treatment and Reuse: Targeting Contaminants of Emerging Concern"
This workshop will focus on emerging opportunities and sustainable approaches for the application of such advanced materials for water treatment and reuse. Research priorities to overcome potential technological and economical barriers associated with the development and application of ENM and other advanced materials for will also be addressed. We will also explore multidisciplinary collaborations and industrial/governmental partnerships to enable cost-effective removal of recalcitrant contaminants of emerging concern in a manner that minimizes chemical and energy use as well as waste production.
