Professor Min Jang’s (corresponding author) research team at the Department of Environmental Engineering at Kwangwoon University developed sulfur-supported zero ferrous iron (S-nZVI) for complete denitrification of nitrate in water and investigated its nitrate removal mechanism. The research team members are Choong Choe Earn Research Professor (first author), Yoon So-yeon Master's and Ph.D. Integrated Course, Kien Tiek Wong Postdoctoral Fellow, Professor Eunha Choi from Plasma Bio Center, and Professor Jang Min.
