Professor Chanhyuk Park's research lab specializes in membrane science and water treatment technologies, focusing on the removal and fate of microplastics and organic pollutants in water resources. The lab investigates membrane fouling mechanisms, particularly the impact of feed water chemistry and organic characteristics on fouling indices like SDI, to enhance membrane performance and longevity. Research also emphasizes the development and optimization of advanced filtration systems, including polymeric and ceramic membranes, for effective microplastic and contaminant retention in wastewater treatment plants. The lab integrates experimental modeling with practical applications to support sustainable water purification solutions.

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) contribute to the release of significant quantities of microplastics into the aquatic environment. The facile identification of microplastics and an understanding of their occurrence and transport through WWTPs are essential for improving microplastic retention. Potential microplastic treatment technologies for both polymeric and ceramic membrane filtrations were systematically investigated to inform decisions on the optimal choice of membrane for effective mi
