Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) removal

Air pollution is one of the most devastating problems facing people around the world. In China, the rapidly growing economy has contributed to a major air pollution crisis, and scientists and engineers have been charged with the task of finding new methods to help bring the levels of pollution down. The proposed project will aim to identify new, recyclable materials that can reduce the level of harmful chemicals present in gaseous emissions to the atmosphere. The key attribute of these materials is their ability to be used more than one time. The material that can achieve both these goals will be chosen and further investigated in order to determine if it can be applied on a larger scale (e.g. to reduce smog levels in China).
