Research topics

• Degrading microplastics(MP) by using various oxidation processes(UV photolysis, UV/H2O2, ozonation) and identifying changes in physicochemical properties of MP by oxidation
  
• Comparing oxidative behaviors of microplastics(MP) and particulate organic matter(POM) in various oxidation processes (UV/H2O2, ozone, persulfate-based oxidation process)
• Establishing pretreatment protocol of MP sample for quantification by fluorescent staining
