Professor Jia-Qian Jiang is a Chartered Engineer and a Fellow of the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management. He has a PhD degree in Environmental Engineering and has the expertise of research and teaching in the field of water and environmental science and engineering. His main research interests are
development and use of water treatment chemicals (e.g., adsorbent, coagulant, disinfectant, and oxidant),
design and optimisation of water treatment unit processes (e.g., coagulation, filtration),
nutrients recovery from wastewater (e.g. phosphorus recovery), and
degradation of emerging micro pollutants in aquatic environment.
His research activities, with full collaboration at national and international level, are funded by the Research Council UK (e.g., EPSRC), EU Research Council, UK/Scottish/international industries (e.g., Thames Water, Southern Water, Borax Europe Ltd, Lake Constance Water Supply and Scottish Water), UK KTP Scheme, British Council and other overseas funding organisations. Prof Jiang’s researches have produced more than 170 publications, which have high impact to the scientific community with h index of 38 from both Web of ScienceCitation Report and Elsevier Scopus Citation Overview and 42 from Google Scholar Citations.
As a principal supervisor, Prof Jiang has supervised 14 doctoral students and 6 post-doc researchers and numerous dissertations of MSc’s and final year undergraduates to completion of their degrees. He has also developed new teaching syllabus and delivered teachings in the subject of water and wastewater treatment technology and engineering, environmental and water chemistry and the chemical engineering related.
Prof Jiang is highly active in scientific communities. He is a member of Peer Review College and Assessment Panel of the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) UK; a research assessor of The Carnage Trust Scotland; an invited research proposals’ referee for International Funding Organizations, including ▪ The European Union Res.

讲座内容简介：
The adverse effects of micro pollutant residues in water on the environment and human health could take place under a very low concentration range; from several µg L-1 to ng L-1. Since there is no efficient unit process to remove these pollutants, efficient technologies are sought to treat them. Ferrate (VI) exhibits high oxidation/reduction potentials and has many advantages because of its dual functions of oxidation and coagulation. Removal of micro pollutants by ferrate(VI) was pH dependent and this was in coordinate to the chemical/physical properties of the pollutants and ferrate(VI) speciation. Promising performance of ferrate(VI) in the treatment of real water and wastewater was observed. It is important to determine whether the ferrate(VI) treated water contains any toxic or mutagenic substances as this should relieve public health concerns when a new chemical is employed for water treatment. The toxicity studies on the ferrate(VI) treated effluent were carried out initially via Ames tests and recently via zebrafish embryos tests conducted at author’s group. These results suggest that ferrate(VI) reagents do not produce mutagenic by-products for study conditions. Finally, future work are suggested in order to implement ferrate(VI) into full-scale water treatment and other environmental remediation requirements.
