Research Interest

Chedly Tizaoui has a wide research interest in the area of water and wastewater treatment technologies. His main interests are in ozonation, UV  radiation, photocatalysis, and  catalytic processes as means to eradicate potentially hazardous contaminants including emerging contaminants, endocrine disrupting chemicals, landfill leachates, pesticides, textile dyes etc. His research also spans over a range of physical treatment processes including membranes, nanotechnology, filtration and coagulation/flocculation for water  production.  Recently,  he  has been working on the development of novel chemical-free treatment processes and hybrid ozone/membrane systems for water production and the development of nanoparticle-enhanced membranes in addition to pre-treatment technologies for water desalination  and  reuse applications.
