Engineering 3D biofilms for sustainable wastewater management
Water pollution from untreated wastewater is a big challenge across many countries. This is partly because centralised wastewater treatment networks are expensive to install and are energy intensive. Read more
Water Management-Desalination and Wastewater Treatment
Research Group:
Water Engineering and Natural Environment
Water management is very important in many countries in the world. Out of many aspects of water management, freshwater production by desalination technologies (thermal and membrane) and wastewater treatment by various technologies are the most important ones. Read more
Developing Circularity: The industrialisation of technologies for biological polishing of wastewater
Treatment of wastewater is an essential process for water reuse in municipal, agricultural and industrial processes. Read more
Intermediate dark fermentation as a platform technology for chemical recycling and biorefineries in the water sector PhD
This exciting fully funded PhD, with an enhanced stipend of £20,000 per annum, will investigate resource recovery opportunities from sewage sludge with dark fermentation as core enabling technology. Read more
Analysis of chemical hazards on waste spread onto agricultural land
Fully Funded PhD Scholarship in analysis of chemical hazards on waste spread onto agricultural land [College of Science and Engineering / Engineering / Civil Engineering / Ryan Institute]. Read more
Sustainable water treatment – towards net-zero biotechnologies minimizing GHG emissions (nitrous oxide, N2O)
Greenhouse gases are emitted during water treatment, specifically nitrous oxide (N2O) which is almost 300 and worse than CO2. Hence, minimizing N2O emissions is of outmost interest in our global aim to meet the net-zero greenhouse gas emission objectives and become carbon-neutral biotechnologies. . Read more
Fate of microplastics in waste waters and sewage sludge used in agriculture – impacts on the terrestrial environment
Microplastics and fibres are widespread in the environment with significant work undertaken in marine environments looking at the fate and uptake of microplastics through the food chain. Read more
Textile wastewater removal using nanoparticle embedded graphene oxide membrane
Graphene has remarkable hydrophobic properties which are ideal for wastewater treatment. Naturally, Graphene repels water, but allows permeation when there are narrow pores within it. Read more
Cleaner Waste Systems through Simultaneous CO2 Capture and Utilisation
The water and wastewater sector are responsible for around 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Every day, large volumes of sludge are generated, which must be treated to reuse standard but the sector is constrained on the amount of waste it can process due to the poor biodegradability of solids. Read more
NMR approaches for understanding mass transfer in microbial biofilms and sessile microbial communities
Biofilms are structured sessile communities of microorganisms with relevance in many areas of life. They are almost omnipresent in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Read more
Integration of algal biofuel and biogas production
There is an increased international interest in the use of algae to sustainably produce liquid biofuels to meet future energy demands, however there are many technical challenges associated with this promising technology. Read more
Increasing the feasibility of effective social prescribing: reducing pharmaceutical usage
The University of Bath is inviting applications for the following PhD project in the Department for Psychology commencing in January or March 2024. Read more
Scalable Conjugated Polymer Photocatalysts for Sustainable Hydrogen Production
The production of clean storable energy to replace fossil fuels remains one of the key challenges for our societies. The Sprick group (https://pureportal.strath.ac.uk/en/persons/seb-sprick, Twitter. Read more
Development of non-sewered sanitation for developed countries
Applications are invited for a self-funded, 3-year full-time or 6-year part time PhD project. The PhD will be based in the School of Civil Engineering and Surveying, and will be supervised by Dr Peter Cruddas. Read more
