Work History

Design of Urine Resourceful Recycling Toilet

Professor: Lei Zheng, Zifu Li
12.2022 - 03.2023

• Use of hypergravity technology to realize a significant increase in the efficiency of the toilet water-phase recycling system.
• Achieve synergistic phosphorus recycling, systematic in-system chlorine recycling, and full nitrogen recycling in the separated urine of ecological toilet sources.
• Independently complete the project’s economic accounting by searching for municipal standards and then finalizing the calculation of material outputs based on the designed system.

Research on Porous Inorganic Polymers

Professor: Lingling Zhang
04.2023 - 08.2023

• Designed comparative experiments to investigate the reinforcement mechanism of porous inorganic polymers by varying the proportion of inorganic polymer raw materials (fly ash, steel slag), the amount of foaming agent and foam stabilizer added, fiber type, fiber length and other variables.
• Improved the strength of porous inorganic polymers, fibers were included. Lab experimental procedures: FTIR, SEM, viscosity tests, and XRD were used to investigate the enhancement processes of samples with various blowing agent additions.
• Devised a method for preparing porous inorganic polymer samples in the laboratory by conducting tests and operating laboratory equipment like a carbonization chamber, thermostat, compression test, etc.

Research on model-simulated methane and FLUXNET

Professor: Xiang Gao
11.2023 - 02.2024

• Apply Python, comparing the model values with CH4. Conducted data collecting and analyzing from 37 wetland locations worldwide over 10 years by Fluxnet, a website that detects CH4 data globally.

• Implement the atmosphere-related data analysis. Evaluate the data for bias, root-mean-square error (RMSE), and correlation coefficient,

Research on Chemical absorption of CO2

Professor: Yi Xing, Wei Su
03.2024 - 06.2024

• The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of low concentration of CO2 on alkali production by carbonation reaction

• By simulating the industrial gas environment and controlling the conditions of different experimental parameters, designed an experiment based on the production of alkali by carbonization reaction of the Hou's process.

• Explored the effects of changing different variables on the Soda ash production rate and carbon dioxide trapping capacity of the carbonization reaction at the low concentration of carbon dioxide.
