CESE Hosts Seminar by HKU’s Professor Tang Chuyang on Membrane Technology Frontiers

On September 12, 2025, CESE invited Professor Tang Chuyang, Chair Professor of Environmental Engineering at the University of Hong Kong, to deliver an academic lecture titled “Colloidal Fouling in RO and NF: A Personal Reflection.” The event attracted more than 300 faculty members and students.

During the lecture, Professor Tang systematically reviewed nearly three decades of his research in membrane technology and explored the mechanisms of fouling in membrane filtration processes. By applying the collision–attachment theory, he established correlations between critical and limiting fluxes and the metastable and long-term stable fluxes in colloidal membrane filtration. He also shared innovative perspectives on membrane material design, fouling control, and system optimization, while offering an outlook on future directions for high-performance membrane technology.
