Lecture Abstract: Co-advancing the construction of a Beautiful China and the “Dual Carbon” goals is a crucial task in China’s current ecological civilization development. As key infrastructure supporting economic and social development and ensuring ecological security, water purification faces unprecedented opportunities and challenges. However, limited by the inherent interface inertness and channel-blocking effects of natural water self-purification, the consumption of external energy and chemical agents is inevitable. How to realize the low-carbon, energy-efficient, and resource-oriented transformation of water purification technology has become an urgently addressed core issue. This lecture will focus on this theme, introducing the latest research achievements in constructing a Dual-Reaction-Center (DRC) system and enhancing the chemical self-purification capacity of water, and will also look ahead to the future development directions of DRC technology.  

Introduction to the Speaker: Lü Lai is a Professor and Doctoral Supervisor at Wuhan University, and also serves as a member of the Water Treatment and Reuse Committee of the Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences and other academic positions. His research primarily focuses on water pollution control and resource recycling. In recent years, addressing key bottlenecks in water purification technology and the risk prevention and control of emerging pollutants in water bodies, he pioneered the principle of Dual-Reaction-Center (DRC) water purification technology internationally, constructed a DRC water purification system to achieve low-carbon treatment and resource recycling of water, and effectively controlled the composite micro-pollution risks of emerging water pollutants. He has published over 100 academic papers, filed more than 60 invention patents (45 of which have been authorized), and led over 10 national, provincial, and municipal-level projects.
