元智大學研發PEMWE電解技術　可預測多項疾病獲專利

　　元智大學機械系鐘國濱教授率團隊發展創新PEMWE電解技術，利用質子交換膜將水（H2O）電解直接製造高純度氫分子、高壓氧氣、醫療級超氧等高品質氣體，不但可讓食品保鮮，養殖水循環有效管理，還可運用於預測多種疾病，包括：糖尿病、聽力受損、心血管疾病、脊髓損傷之綜合治療的可行性，獲得臺灣專利與兩岸創業認同。

　　鐘國濱教授表示，此研究利用質子交換膜將水（H2O）電解直接製造高純度氫分子、高壓氧氣、醫療級超氧等高品質氣體，且實證應於能源（氫燃料電池）、食品保鮮（肉類與土司之常溫保存）、醫療設備消毒（血液透析儀之低耗水消毒）、農業（豆類之生長促進）、漁業（養殖水的處理與循環再利用）等領域，並預測運用於多種疾病（糖尿病、聽力受損、心血管疾病、脊髓損傷）之綜合治療的可行性。

YZU PEMWE for disease prediction earns patents
　　Directed by Professor Guo-bin Jung (鐘國濱), Department of Mechanical Engineering, the YZU research team develops the innovative PEMWE electrolysis technology.  The team uses proton exchange membrane to decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen and produce several kinds of high-quality gas, such as high purity hydrogen molecules, high-pressure oxygen, and super oxygen. This technology has a broad range of applications in food preservation, recirculating aquaculture system, and predictive medicine (diabetes, hearing loss, cardiovascular disease, and spinal cord injury). The team has earned several patents in Taiwan and opportunities of cross-strait business collaboration.

　　Professor Jung says PEMWE has a viriety of applications, including energy development (hydrogen fuel cell), food preservation (keeping meat and toast at room temperature), medical equipment disinfection (water use for disinfection of hemodialyzer), agriculture (growth promotion of legumes), fisheries (treatment and recycling of aquaculture water), and forecasting for use in a variety of diseases (diabetes, hearing loss, heart Vascular disease, spinal cord injury). #
