Amid the increased use of energy brought on by global economic development, the emission of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides is now posing as a major problem in the form of air pollution, causing acid rain, photochemical smog and more. Household wastes of various kinds are also becoming a major threat to the environment.
 
This R&D team is dedicated to developing technologies related to the measurement and control of emission gas and pollution, through research on the characteristics, combustion reaction and low-NOX combustion techniques of coal fuels using experimental incinerators. Additional research focuses on technologies for the treatment of green house gases, decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) of nuclear facilities, circulating fluidized bed (CFB), and PFBC used for converting low-quality coals into clean energy for power generation and IGCC.
