Fate of Micro-Organic Pollutants on the Recovery of Phosphorus from Urine
Research Center for Environmental Quality Management, Department of Urban and Environmental Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering
Place of stay: Graduate School at Shenzhen, Tsinghua University (Kyoto University - Tsinghua University Cooperative Center for Environmental Engineering), China
Term: December 1 – December 5, 2009
The main objectives of my internship were to present my work entitled "Fate of Micro-Organic Pollutants on the Recovery of Phosphorus from Urine" as a poster presentation, and to enhance the opportunity for future collaboration and networking for the urine samples collection in China.
In the first two days in China, I attended the opening ceremony of GCOE 1st Shenzhen Oversea Base Symposium and several presentations that I got interested in and were related to my work. Not all the topics were directly related to my research, but I could get so many informative ideas for my research. During the poster presentation, I received so many helpful suggestions and comments, so they would be beneficial for my research. Simultaneously, I shared my information and methodology with researchers and students. It was good to have an opportunity to discuss research with them. On the last day, I visited water and wastewater treatment plants in Shenzhen. Because of the language barrier, I could not get everything; however, I learned how they treated water and wastewater. Overall, going to China for an internship gave me a good experience.
