Research Focus:
Focusing on key scientific and technological challenges in industrial wastewater treatment, with emphasis on advanced treatment and resource recovery of fluoride-containing wastewater, biofilm control technologies, and optimization of wastewater recycling processes. By integrating polymer material technologies with process engineering methodologies, this research develops efficient, low-consumption, and sustainable wastewater treatment solutions.

Key Technologies:

• Fluoride-Containing Wastewater Treatment: Optimizing fluoride ion removal efficiency through combined processes including chemical precipitation, flocculation sedimentation, and membrane separation, enabling wastewater reuse and fluorine resource recovery.

• Biofilm Control: Investigating biofilm formation mechanisms and inhibition strategies, developing anti-biofouling coating materials to reduce equipment maintenance frequency.

• Process Optimization: Optimizing wastewater treatment process parameters through process simulation and data analysis, reducing energy consumption and chemical dosage.

Representative Achievements:

• Achieved over 70% recovery efficiency for fluoride-containing wastewater, resulting in annual cost savings exceeding SGD 500,000.

• Developed anti-biofouling coating technology applied in Singapore's maritime and industrial water treatment sectors, significantly reducing equipment maintenance frequency and extending operational lifespan.

• Research outcomes published in journals including Frontiers in Microbiology, International Journal of Biological Sciences, and Carbon Research, with related technologies validated through practical applications in industry.
