Kinetics and mechanisms of mineral waste carbonation

Self funded 3.5 year PhD in Engineering. Project Summary. Minerals containing earth alkalis are feasible for carbonation or enhanced weathering as an effective CO2 sequestration and storage method. Read more

AI control of an electromagnetic eddy current particle separator for ore enrichment

There has been significant interest in the dry separation of conducting particles using a rotating magnetic drum [1, 2]. In 2023 the principal supervisors took delivery of a purpose built machine to separate conducting particles from non-conducting material using magnetic fields. Read more

Use of Fungi as a Means of Producing Concrete-Like Construction Materials

Concrete is one of the World’s most ubiquitous materials. It has achieved this through its versatility, durability and low cost. However, the manufacture of a key ingredient - Portland cement – contributes 4% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Read more

Fully funded 4-year studentships at the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Sustainable Chemical Technologies: A Systems Approach

The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Sustainable Chemical Technologies. A Systems Approach at the University of Bath is offering fully funded, 4-year studentships to start 30 September 2024. Read more

Unravelling the role of corrosion products in the localised corrosion of large scale energy system infrastructure

  Research Group: School of Mechanical Engineering
Carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion of carbon steel is a degradation mechanism observed across mature and new energy systems, as well as carbon abatement technologies such as Carbon Capture and Storage. Read more

Use of Recovered Toner Powder to Enhance Durability, Engineering and Sustainability Performance of Structural Concrete Elements

The working life of reinforced/prestressed concrete elements is often determined by serviceability limit state which is governed by the movement of harmful moisture into the structure and propagating/initiating corrosion of steel reinforcement. Read more

Mathematical Modelling of Poro-Mechanics of Soil

Supervisory Team.   Tiina Roose, William Powrie, Siul Ruiz. Project description. Soil is one of the most complex and important self-assembling organo-mineral composites in the world. Read more

Sustainable recycling of end-of-life electric vehicle batteries

Project: The age of the electric car is all but upon us. Billions of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are reaching their lifetime along with the widespread application of electric vehicles. Read more

Smart Surfaces for Anti-Scaling

Scaling and mineral deposits that occur due to dissolved materials in water is a problem in many industrial applications. How to remove this scaling without the use of harsh chemicals or methods to prevent it is crucial importance to both the environment and the economy. Read more
