OverviewAI-generated summary
Chiqian Zhang's research focuses on environmental engineering and sustainability, with a specific emphasis on water treatment and public health. Her work investigates methods for producing and distributing clean drinking water, aiming to protect public health. This includes optimizing disinfectant residual dosages in water systems to mitigate risks associated with opportunistic pathogens and disinfection by-products.
Zhang also studies municipal sewage treatment and solid waste management. Her research explores the transformation and mobility of metals in sewage sludge during anaerobic digestion, particularly when combined with hydrothermal treatment. She has investigated co-hydrothermal carbonization of sewage sludge and rice straw to enhance hydrochar quality and assessed pre- and inter-stage hydrothermal treatment for increased methane production from municipal sludge.
Additional research areas include renewable energy production and environmental nanotechnology. Her work has examined the diversity of bacterial communities in hot tap water compared to cold tap and shower water and explored the use of Tetrasphaera for improved biological phosphorus removal from swine wastewater digestate. Zhang holds a Ph.D. and has an h-index of 21 with over 2,000 citations across 59 publications.
