RESEARCH GOALS
To develop a pilot to treat cheese wastewater with our industrial
partners and finally extend its usage to other wastewater streams,
the following research questions are proposed:
1. Are there ways to limit/avoid chlorine evolution and toxic product
formation?
2. What are the suitable electrode materials that reduce both capital
and operation costs?
3. What kind of cell design would allow for an effective and safe
operation at the largest scale?
4. Can this technology be expanded to other suitable industrial
wastewater cases?
