Joint Laboratory on Solid Waste Science
The IRSM-CAS/HK PolyU Joint Laboratory on Solid Waste Science is mainly engaged in the research on the safe treatment and resource utilization technologies (including stabilization/solidification treatment, eco-building materials preparation and valuable element recovery) of solid wastes, such as C&D waste, municipal solid waste, sewage sludge, dredged sediment, industrial waste, incineration residue and hazardous waste. Since its establishment, 31 high quality SCI papers have been published by its members and two projects have been secured.
Water and Waste Research Laboratory
The Water and Waste Research Laboratory was established with an important commitment to facilitate the application of research in environmental engineering and sciences to meet the needs of the industries. The present group of laboratories, comprising a teaching laboratory, a research laboratory, a microbiology laboratory, a chemical store, a sample storage cold room, and an instrument laboratory, are extensively equipped with advanced measuring and analytical instruments for complete physical, chemical and biological sample characterization.
Transport and Highway Engineering Laboratory
The Transport and Highway Engineering Laboratory caters teaching-related experiments and research activities in Highway Engineering, Traffic Engineering and Transport Planning. The equipment is available for various types of bituminous material and pavement testing and transport related measurement.
Road Research Laboratory
The Road Research Laboratory is composed of an indoor laboratory (Fu Cheung Centre, Fo Tan, Shatin) and an outdoor test site (Ma Liu Shui, Shatin). It has served various research and teaching activities on road and pavement materials. The Road Research Laboratory is implemented to characterize and understand performance of the bituminous binder and mixtures. The corresponding knowledge is transferred to the governmental departments and the industries.
Concrete Materials Laboratory
The Concrete Materials Laboratory focuses on characterisation of physical, chemical and microstructural properties of cement-based and eco-friendly construction materials on macro- and micro- levels.
Bioenergy Research Laboratory
The Bioenergy Research Laboratory is dedicated to the development of biofuel and nano-catalytic research.
