Abstract
The Particle Technology Laboratory (PTL) at the University of Minnesota is considered a leading particle/aerosol center in the world. Over the years, we have educated and trained a large number of successful professionals in academia and industry. Our alumni include chair professors/distinguished professors at leading universities, and senior vice presidents/senior directors in industry around the world. In the first part of my lecture, I will describe their personal qualities and relevant training that made them successful in their careers.
The second part of my lecture addresses the filtration solutions we have developed for mitigating PM2.5 pollutants in urban air. PM2.5 (Particulate Matter less than 2.5 µm) was established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1997 as the standard method for sampling fine particles. PTL has developed many instruments and samplers to perform atmospheric measurements, which helped to establish the PM2.5 standard. Filtration is the principal means to control PM2.5 pollutants and vehicle emissions. The Center for Filtration Research (CFR) at the University of Minnesota, consisting of 18 leading international filtration companies, was established to find filtration solutions to mitigate PM2.5 and other environmental pollutants. Two examples of applying filtration solutions to mitigate PM pollutants will be presented. A Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) for Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines has been developed to meet LEV3 and Euro 6 standard. A disruptive innovation, namely, the Solar-Assisted Large-Scale Cleaning System (SALSCS) with a recent follow up development in Adaptive Matching Spray Array (AMSA) system, is proposed to mitigate PM2.5 pollutants in urban air. An integrative approach, from collaboration among academia, government, and industry, can effectively manage and mitigate the PM2.5 pollutants, particularly in China.
