2016-09-02
The Shenzhen Technological Innovation Commission has recently released the list of Shenzhen's third group of key laboratories and engineering centers in 2015. The Laboratory of Soil and Groundwater Pollution Control of the School of Environmental Science and Engineering, South University of Science and Technology of China (SUSTech) was accredited as Shenzhen's key laboratory which will be supported by the third tranche of Shenzhen's special fund for energy conservation and environmental protection.
The key laboratory is a joint R & D platform built by the School of Environmental Science and Engineering in association with Shenzhen's local enterprise (Shenzhen Deep Eco Environmental Technology Co., Ltd.) and Shenzhen Environmental Monitoring Center since was established this July. Integrating production, learning, research and application, the laboratory aims to fill the huge technical gap in domestic soil and groundwater pollution control, meet the demand for engineering application, and control black and odorous water and soil pollution in Shenzhen and the Pearl River Delta.
The laboratory's main task is researching on prospective and strategic basic theories and industrial technologies in the fields of water and soil environment protection and management, covering the mechanism of groundwater and soil pollution transfer and transformation, simulation evaluation, pollution control and remediation schemes and technologies; groundwater and soil pollution investigation, test, monitoring and detection, agents and remediation equipment; transformation and application of groundwater and soil pollution control and remediation technologies, research on technology standardization and industrialization.
The school and its partners will further work with environmental protection institutions and forces in Shenzhen, to advance the construction of the key laboratory steadily and efficiently, develop an array of environmental technologies with independent intellectual property rights, cultivate a host of high-level environmental innovation talents with international vision, and build the key laboratory into an independent environmental brand in Shenzhen, an experimental sharing platform and standardized detection center in Shenzhen, and a state key laboratory, thus providing technology and talent support for the development of water and soil pollution treatment in the Pearl River Delta and China.
