Project Stages

Optimize and validate the magnetic chitosan composite synthesis technology in small scale by establishing structure-property correlations and by rational experimental design, seeking to overcome the natural raw material inherent variability and ensure reproducibility and maximum performance.
Scale-up the synthesis procedure, verify reproducibility and characterize the product.
Optimize laboratory batch wastewater treatment procedure regarding pollutant (heavy metal ions or dyes) adsorption, sorbent magnetic separation, desorption and regeneration.
Test laboratory wastewater treatment technology with real wastewater samples.
