CPE Lab
Circular Process Engineering Laboratory
About Us
The Circular Process Engineering (CPE) Lab, directed by Dr. Khaled Benis, is a part of the Department of Process Engineering and Applied Science at Dalhousie University. Our research at the CPE Lab focuses on exploring various biomass and waste materials within the concept of the circular economy. Our mission is simple yet profound: design processes to convert these resources into value-added materials that enhance the environment and pave the way for a sustainable future. Our present focus is on groundbreaking water treatment methods driven by modified waste materials. By refining these materials, we unlock their potential to revolutionize our approach to environmental challenges. Central to our innovation are techniques such as adsorption, electrosorption, and advanced oxidation processes, empowering us to tackle water quality issues, including emerging contaminants.
