Aik Chong Lua is a professor at Nanyang Technological University, specializing in hydrogen production and the development of activated carbon membranes. Their research focuses on the preparation and characterization of activated carbons from various biomass sources, including pistachio-nut shells and oil-palm waste, through methods such as potassium hydroxide, zinc chloride, and CO2 activation. The studies explore the effects of pyrolysis conditions, activation temperatures, and impregnation techniques on the textural and chemical properties of activated carbons. These materials are applied for gas separation, pollutant removal, and hydrogen production. Lua's work also involves the synthesis of supported catalysts for methane decomposition and the development of mixed matrix membranes for gas separation applications.
