Over the last two and a half decades ASTech, the  Alberta Science and Technology Foundation, has recognized research excellence across the province.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And among the finalists for the 2017 ASTech Awards Is Dr Mohamed Gamal El Din.  <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dr  Gamal El Din is a professor of Environmental Engineering at the University of Alberta and he’s an international expert in wastewater treatment.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
His work has focused on the treatment and reclamation of water from oil sands operations.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And that includes treatments like the use of ozone or advanced oxidation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
DR MOHAMED GAMAL EL-DIN: <\/span> Ozone or advanced oxidation, it’s a process that’s very highly efficient, doesn’t require a lot of footprint, but it’s expensive because it requires a lot of energy. <\/span><\/div>\n
So one of the projects we’re working on using this process or this approach but at mild doses or small doses that could help accelerate a subsequent process in a way that it could  help that overall treatment or reclamation, but not at a point where we apply it at high doses where it becomes quite expensive to apply. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dr Gamal El-Din suggests pretreatment with advanced oxidation might reduce the degradation of toxins from years to hours.<\/div>\n
