Nanobubble Technology for Advanced Water Treatment

Water treatment technologies, such as advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) and granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption, have been widely applied for the removal of various recalcitrant chemical pollutants and biological contaminants.

However, these processes are not always suitable to meet more challenging and emerging water quality standards, such as the forever compounds PFAS.

As such, we need to develop treatment technology innovations that can resolve these challenges while also being cost-efficient and sustainable.

This study aims to develop and assess how nanobubble technology can be used to strengthen and upgrade existing water treatment infrastructure, thereby enhancing its resilience.
