  Understanding the role of clay mineral redox reactions for metal contaminant fate
Newcastle University Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering
  Dr A Neumann
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
This project is part of the ONE Planet DTP. Find out more here. https://research.ncl.ac.uk/one-planet/. Anthropogenic actitivies have in the past and continue today to pollute water and terrestrial ecosystems with metal contaminants.

  Hot stuff? Evaluating the human exposure hazard presented by land contaminated with organic flame retardants
University of Birmingham School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
  Prof S J Harrad, Dr M Abdallah
Applications accepted all year round
Chemical flame retardants (FRs) such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and chlorinated organophosphates (e.g. tris (2-chloroisopropyl)phosphate – TCIPP) have been used extensively in a wide range of applications worldwide.

  Multi-Fluids Discontinuous Control Volume – Finite Element Methods(CVFEM) for Subsurface Geothermal Flows
Aberdeen University School of Engineering
  Dr J Gomes, Dr L Akanji
Applications accepted all year round
Immiscible displacement flows have been widely studied in contaminant dispersion in the subsurface (e.g., solute transport to aquifers, radionuclide’s diffusion in nuclear storage, etc) and oil & gas production (e.g., enhanced oil recovery, heavy oil production, etc) applications.

  Stratified shear flows in inclined pipes
Aberdeen University School of Engineering
  Dr Y Tanino, Dr D Van der A
Applications accepted all year round
Stably stratified shear flows are ubiquitous in the environment and industrial systems. In the atmosphere such flows are associated with clear air turbulence.

  Biomediation and Resource Recovery from Effluents Using Algae
Centre of Expertise for Waters Hydro Nation
  Dr M Stanley, Dr S Jubeau, Dr M Ross
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
Background. Water is invaluable for life on Earth; however, as a resource it is under threat due to an increasing population and resultant growth in agriculture and industry, leading to excessive nutrient/contaminant enrichment of water bodies.

Type/Funding
  Microplastics as a Vector for Micropollutants in Aquatic Environments
Centre of Expertise for Waters Hydro Nation
  Dr C Pestana, Prof L Lawton, Prof C Moffat
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
Background. Any plastic particle that measures less than 5 mm in all dimensions is considered to be a microplastic.

  Testing the Effectiveness of Technological Innovations in Drinking Water Quality Monitoring on Improved Private Water Supply Management in Rural Communities in Scotland
Centre of Expertise for Waters Hydro Nation
  Dr E Pagaling, Dr L Avery, Dr R Ellis, Dr H Bridle
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
Background. Private water supplies (PWS) are a concern to public health, both globally and locally, as they are vulnerable to breakdown and subsequent ingress from agricultural run-off and septic tank failures, leading to potential consumption of microbial (and other) contaminants.

Type/Funding
  Non-thermal plasma technology for environmental protection
Manchester Metropolitan University Faculty of Science and Engineering
  Dr R Erfani
Applications accepted all year round
Reference Number. SciEng-RE-2018-1. Project Summary. This project aims to advance air pollution reduction technology by developing Non-thermal plasma reactor design.

Type/Funding
  Understanding and dissecting microbial communities with Raman spectroscopy
University of Liverpool Institute of Integrative Biology
  Prof R Goodacre
Application Deadline: 28 February 2019
We have shown that it is possible to label bacteria with heavy isotopes of carbon (13C) and nitrogen (15N) and this incorporation within cellular biomass of heavy isotopes has led to significant shifts in certain vibrational modes from amino acids and nucleic acids that can be readily detected with Raman spectroscopy.
Details
Type/Funding
  Hybrid pore-scale modelling of two-phase flow in porous media
University of Manchester School of Chemical Engineering & Analytical Science
  Dr V Niasar
Applications accepted all year round
Understanding two-phase flow dynamics in porous media is essential for many applications including petroleum engineering, hydrogeology, contaminant transport in groundwater, and chemical engineering industry.
