Electrochemical Solutions to a Sustainable Environment
The ZOU lab at Auburn University develops affordable and reliable electrochemical solutions to help transform the resource-intensive wastewater management towards a resource-supplying hub. Our research synergistically integrates Applied Electrochemistry with Membrane Separation and Environmental Bioprocess to (1) design energy-efficient engineering processes for multi-level resource recovery, (2) fundamentally understand rate-limiting step on the system level via thermodynamic and kinetic analysis, and (3) identify scaling-up challenges from energetic and techno-economic perspectives for better design of the treatment train. We welcome students and scholars from all over the world to join us!
