Our current research activities
on sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and constructed wetland
include:
Sequencing batch reactor:
Application of SBR in treating organic priority pollutants.
Modeling of sorption of individual and simultaneous toxic
pollutants onto biomass.
Treatment of chromium (VI) and nickel (II) – containing
wastewater in SBR.
Bioregeneration of activated rice husk and powdered activated
carbon in the treatment of p-nitrophenol in the simultaneous
adsorption and biodegradation processes.
Constructed wetland:
Solid phase speciation of heavy metals in vertical-flow constructed
wetlands.
The study of the role of biofilm on wetland media in the sorption
of pollutant and in mitigating the inhibitory effect of toxic
substances during the treatment of biodegradable pollutants.
Post-graduate students working with these projects are:
1 Two Ph.D. students
2. Eight M.Sc students
