(author), Perumal, Priyadharshini (author), Luukkonen, Tero (author)Alkali-activated foams are ceramic-like materials prepared at near-ambient temperature. This study investigates them for point-of-use water disinfection, thus providing an alternative to ceramic filters fired at a high temperature. Alkali-activated foams with different compositions were characterized for the porosity, mechanical strength,...journal article 2024

Wang, Xueling (author), Wang, Man (author), Chen, M. (author), Zhang, Yatao (author)Ceramic membranes have been increasingly employed in water treatment owing to their merits such as high-stability, anti-oxidation, long lifespan and environmental friendliness. The application of ceramic membranes mainly focuses on microfiltration and ultrafiltration processes, and some precise separation can be achieved by introducing novel...journal article 2023

Wei, Ziyi (author), Huang, Kai (author), Chen, Ying (author), Wang, D. (author), Yu, Yajuan (author), Xu, Ming (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)To alleviate the geographical mismatch between supply and demand of water resources, virtual water trade had attracted extensive attention. Many studies had estimated the virtual water flow and measured the virtual water inequality using Environmental Input-Output (EIO) model. However, EIO model ignores the feedback effect in the trade, which...journal article 2023

Liu, C. (author), Liang, X. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Li, Z. (author), Ye, G. (author)In this study, the impacts of tap water immersion on the pore solution, phase assemblages, gel chemistry and structure, and pore structure of alkali-activated slag (AAS) pastes were studied. AAS degrades under such condition and the potential mechanisms can be concluded as lower reaction rates, gel decomposition and carbonation. The leaching...journal article 2023

Lu, T. (author), Liang, X. (author), Liu, C. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Li, Z. (author)This study experimentally investigated the effects of surfactants and water-repelling agents on the hydration process, relative humidity, and mechanical properties of Portland cement pastes. Based on the measurement results, the degree of hydration, degree of saturation, capillary tension of autogenous shrinkage, and magnitude of autogenous...journal article 2023

Chen, Gao (author), Bracken, G. (author), Herdt, T. (author)Water justice can be a delicate balancing act. Conservation regulations ensure urban areas’ water demands are met, but these may conflict with the water rights of local people living in catchment areas. No metropolis wants to face water shortages, yet prioritising municipalities’ rights over those of local people can result in water injustice....journal article 2023

Chen, Kuei-Tso (author)The city of Rotterdam has a long and interesting history. It began as a small settlement on the River Rotte, at the place where the river met with the Nieuwe Maas. In 1270, the long dam was built in an attempt to reclaim the swampy land for development. In another word, since its origins, Rotterdam had to adapt to the natural circumstances of...master thesis 2022

Chen, M. (author), Heijman, Sebastiaan (author), Luiten-Olieman, Mieke W.J. (author), Rietveld, L.C. (author)Ceramic membranes have drawn increasing attention in oily wastewater treatment as an alternative to their traditional polymeric counterparts, yet persistent membrane fouling is still one of the largest challenges. Particularly, little is known about ceramic membrane fouling by oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions in constant flux filtration modes. In...journal article 2022
