報告摘要:
The field of nanoscience and nanotechnology has made great strides during the last two decades and permeated into multiple application areas. Nevertheless, the application of nanotechnology benefiting the poor and impoverished is very rare and often not worth mentioning. In our work, we have integrated the fundamentals of nanotechnology and the Donnan membrane principle to develop and commercialize a new class of hybrid nanosorbents, referred to as HAIX-Nano. HAIX-Nano is essentially a new class of hybrid anion exchangers inside which Fe(III) oxide or Zr(IV) oxide nanoparticles have been irreversibly dispersed (US Patent # 7,291,578). HAIX-Nano is durable, selective and reusable after regeneration for tens of cycles.
Over 400 million people in 50 different countries around the world are exposed to poisoning by drinking arsenic and fluoride contaminated groundwater. For its robustness, operational simplicity, reusability and cost effectiveness, HAIX-Nano is currently in use to provide arsenic- and fluoride-safe water to over one million people in ten different countries including the USA. During the lecture, I will provide the underlying fundamentals and field-level performance results of HAIX-Nano.
Arup K. SenGupta教授簡介:
SenGupta教授自1994年起在理海大學土木與環境學院擔任教授,2014年成為美國國家研究院(NAI) 院士。他是離子交換技術和飲用水除砷方面的專家,是“道南膜效應理論”的提出者和奠基人,在過去的20年間始終緻力于水質安全保障技術,并着力改善亞洲和 非洲等貧困國家的飲用水水質。他發明的除砷技術在印度和肯尼亞地區廣泛應用,解決了幾百萬農村及偏遠地區的飲用水安全問題。
SenGupta教授曾擔任Environ. Sci. & Tech., Water Research等多個知名期刊主編及副主編,擁有近十個美國國家發明專利,發表包含Environ. Sci. & Tech.,Water Research等有影響力的環境學術期刊論文近百篇,其中幾篇經典文章引用數超過1000次。因為他的傑出成就,曾獲得多項國際大獎,包括:2012年 國際環境獎,2009年美國ACS斯特萊斯(Astellas)研究創新獎、美國科技創新獎和美國化學學會勞倫斯獎,2008年獲美國土木學會研究貢獻獎 和美國化工協會突出貢獻獎,2007年獲得美國國家工程院銀獎并于同年獲得希爾曼傑出教育獎,等等。
