Wei-Hao Lee, Assistant Professor                                         https://ppt.cc/fR4zux

• Mineral processing/Waste recycling - This research field mainly utilizes the differences in physical properties of different substances in minerals/waste, such as: specific gravity, magnetism, electrical conductivity, surface properties...etc. After the minerals/waste are processed, the gangue (valueless) will be removed, and the product produced can be sold without affecting the original physical and chemical properties.

• Geopolymer technology/Eco-friendly building material development –This technology allows industrial waste/by-products to be effectively prepared into building materials, which can achieve the purpose of cradle-to-cradle and make eco-friendly building materials with low carbon emissions.

 

Wing-Kiu Yeung, Assistant Professor                                      https://ppt.cc/fGIGCx

• Automated nanoparticle synthesis, 3D porous membrane modulation & optical sensing

• We use microfluidics' advantages to prepare nanoparticles. Microfluidics reactors have advantages with automation, rapid synthesis and easy operation.

• Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is an electrochemical conversion process that can convert bulk metal into oxide ceramic layers. It is known to be able to fabricate porous structures with a customizable composition of the oxide membrane. By carefully designing the parameters, each layer can have a different primary role, thus resulting in a multifunctional tandem catalyst filter.

• To understand the mechanism behind the PEO process, a spectroscopic study of the electrolytic plasma behaviour during the PEO process is conducted. The in situ measurement of the optical emission spectroscopy provides valuable information on the growth mechanism.
