[Lecture 1] Application of Ecological Technology of Constructed Wetland, Advantages and Disadvantages and Improvement Measures

Lecturer: Professor Yang Lei, Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan

Date: December 22, 2023 (Friday)

Time: 8:30-9:30 a.m.

Venue: Room 305, Eastern Library

Introduction to the lecture: In order to prevent the existing natural wetlands from continuing to be harmed by all kinds of waste water, in addition to using environmental engineering technology to strengthen the treatment of various types of waste water, we can also use the “ecological engineering technology” that is beneficial to human society and the natural environment to plan and design a wastewater treatment artificial wetland, strengthen the function of wetland water purification, assist in the treatment of waste water, and protect natural wetlands from pollution. However, if high-concentration and high-pollution wastewater is arbitrarily discharged into the constructed wetland, it may still exceed its carrying capacity, and cause the death of organisms in the constructed wetland, which will seriously affect its treatment effect. At this time, it is necessary to add pre-treatment equipment, or change to enhanced constructed wetland planning and design. Other improvements include the use of vertical flow constructed wetlands, mixed constructed wetlands, French-style constructed wetlands, inter-gravel aeration methods, and improved filler materials in constructed wetlands.

About the lecturer: Professor Yang Lei received his Ph.D. in environmental engineering from the School of Civil Engineering, Purdue University of USA in 1990. He is currently a full-time professor in the Department of Marine Environment and Engineering at Sun Yat-sen University (Taiwan), and has been the director of the Water Resources Research Center of Sun Yat-sen University since 2004. In addition, Professor Yang was appointed as a visiting researcher at the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2012, honorary director of the Engineering Research Center for Tropical and Subtropical Water Ecological Engineering of the Ministry of Education of Jinan University in 2022, and an adjunct professor at Nanyang Normal University in 2023. In addition to being one of the few scholars and experts engaged in marine pollution prevention and control technology in Taiwan, Professor Yang Lei is also a senior expert in the research and practical work of constructed wetland wastewater treatment technology and wetland restoration and restoration ecological engineering technology in Taiwan, and has made great contributions to the protection, conservation and restoration of natural wetlands in Taiwan, as well as wetland environmental education.

[Lecture 2] R&D and Engineering Application of Key Technologies for Water Ecological Restoration

Lecturer: Wu Zhenbin, researcher of the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

Date: December 22, 2023 (Friday)

Time: 9:30-10:30 a.m.

Venue: Room 305, Eastern Library

Introduction to the lecture: The lecturer will analyze the technical problems of water ecological restoration in China and introduce the key technologies of water ecology developed by the team and representative application cases.

About the lecturer: Wu Zhenbin, doctoral supervisor, director of the Water Environment Engineering Research Center of the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, deputy director of the State Key Laboratory of Freshwater Ecology and Biotechnology, and chairman of the Environmental Biology Branch of the Chinese Society of Environmental Sciences. He has presided over more than 20 scientific research projects. He has published more than 200 papers as a correspondent or the first author, obtained more than 30 patents as the first inventor, and trained more than 150 graduate students and supervised more than 150 postdoctoral students. It has initiated and held 13 cross-strait constructed wetland seminars and the first international training course on water environmental protection and water pollution control, which has promoted extensive and in-depth research and large-scale engineering application of constructed wetlands. His research expertise and direction are the research and engineering demonstration of constructed wetlands and water ecological restoration.
