At the Water Environment & Engineering Laboratory in the Department of Environmental Engineering at the University of Seoul, we specialize in addressing critical environmental challenges through physicochemical methods. Water treatment is imperative as it directly impacts public health, ecosystem vitality, and the sustainability of our water resources. Our research focuses on the removal of trace pollutants, the treatment of dye wastewater, and the management of sewage sludge?key issues in the ongoing effort to maintain water quality and prevent environmental degradation.
Our work is essential for developing effective strategies to reduce the load of harmful chemicals and biological contaminants in water bodies, which can result from industrial processes, agricultural runoff, and urban waste discharge. We aim to refine electrocoagulation processes and other advanced treatment techniques to effectively remove contaminants while minimizing energy use and waste production.
The laboratory’s contributions to environmental engineering are well-documented in prestigious academic journals and at scientific conferences. Collaborating closely with our graduate students, we strive to develop and implement scalable and sustainable water treatment solutions.
We are dedicated to fostering a collaborative environment where innovative ideas lead to practical solutions for water purification and resource recovery. If you are driven to make a difference in this vital field, we invite you to join our efforts in advancing water treatment technologies and methodologies.
