Seminar: NEW Recovery from Wastewater Through Synergy Between Bioelectrochemical Systems and Forward Osmosis
March 7, 2017 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm
Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side B
Presenter
Zhen (Jason) He, Associate Professor, Virginia Tech, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Resource recovery from wastewater represents a promising approach to achieve sustainable wastewater management. Traditional recovery of energy can be accomplished by anaerobic treatment. Water may be recovered by using micro/ultrafiltration treatment. Herein, an innovative method that integrates forward osmosis (FO) with bioelectrochemical systems (BES) will be introduced to achieve NEW recovery (NEW: nutrients, energy and water). FO is considered as a low fouling membrane technology for recovering high quality water from various water sources.....
