Research Areas

Prof. Hong Liu performed his research on electrochemical technologies and principles for the treatment of high concentration organic wastewater. He developed the novel E-Fenton process with the reaction-controlled pH adjustment that free of chemical addition, established a dynamic model of reaction rate control steps in photocatalytic wastewater treatment, set up a pilot-scale demonstration base for landfill leachate treatment in Chongqing, and output a first BODQ measurement instrument in light of new principle and method. His research activity mainly including:

1. Transformation mechanism of typical toxic chemicals in aqueous system of the Three Gorges Reservoir

2. Development of the innovative advanced oxidation technologies for controlling of environmental micro-pollutants

3. Development and application of fast and accurate instrument for biodegradable organic matter determination

4. Demonstration and promotion of combined technology for landfill leachate treatment
