This Tuesday, we had a Coffee Chat with Professor Mi at The Musical Offering & Cafe. Professor Mi introduced how the membranes work to intercept the desired molecules, and the production, innovation and application of membranes. She explained that new materials have drastically improved the separation ability and reduced costs of production, so membrane technologies are able to help us in many fields including waste treatment, medical application and water security. She also highlighted the cooperative researches on membrane technologies by China and US.
