Asia’s first demonstration facility for medical wastewater treatment using electron beam (EB) technology began operation in China this year. According the an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report on 11 August. “This is the first pilot-scale – 400 cubic metres per day – demonstration of EB for medical wastewater treatment,” said Shijun He, Professor at the Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology (INET) at Tsinghua University. The facility in the Hubei Province sterilises medical wastewater and decomposes antibiotics without additional disinfectant or the production of secondary pollution. The milestone builds on a foundation of research by and technical cooperation with the IAEA that started a decade ago. “The IAEA has played a very important role on EB application in China,” said He. The facility opened in May.
