Environmental Engineering (chemical) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 72 Environmental Engineering (chemical) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Creating the ethical chemical engineer: pedagogy and practice of teaching ethics in Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineering will be critical to countering many global threats over thee next decades, in particular climate change, but also challenges in public health, resource sustainability, innovation in manufacturing, and secure food and energy supplies. Read more

Next-Generation Low-Carbon Cement Wasteforms for Safe Disposal of Radioactive Waste

In the UK, over 150,000m3 of radioactive waste (enough to fill 60 Olympic size swimming pools) has been produced to date. Most of this radioactive waste needs conditioning by encapsulating it in cement to prevent release to the biosphere. Read more

Rational design of photo/electrocatalysts towards Green Nitrogen Fixation and Ammonia Production

In an era marked by the urgent need for sustainable solutions, this project stands at the forefront of innovation in catalysis, focusing on the rational design of photo/electrocatalysts for nitrogen fixation and ammonia production. Read more

Fouling control and cleaning of membrane for water treatment

Supervisory Team.   Yongqiang Liu. Project description. Globally, water scarcity is a pressing issue, affecting between two and three billion people worldwide, as reported by the recent UN World Water Development report. Read more

Rational design of photo/electrocatalysts towards Green Nitrogen Fixation and Ammonia Production

In an era marked by the urgent need for sustainable solutions, this project stands at the forefront of innovation in catalysis, focusing on the rational design of photo/electrocatalysts for nitrogen fixation and ammonia production. Read more

Enhanced Cements for Nuclear Waste Encapsulation

Blended cements are formed from a mix of ordinary cement and another cementitious material, known as clinker substitute. These alternative materials are frequently used in the cement and concrete industries to. Read more

Numerical modelling of multiphase flow and reactive transport in porous materials

Understanding reactive transport in porous materials is of utmost importance for a wide range of engineering applications, including subsurface energy storage, low-carbon building materials and fuel cells. Read more

Utilize Martian resources for future exploration: Develop a game-changing plasma-based ISRU system

Supervisory Team.   Min Kwan Kim (80%) / Alexander Wittig (20%). Project description. This exciting PhD project offers a unique opportunity to develop a high-efficiency, all-in-one in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) system for future crewed Mars missions. Read more

Metal-based nanocomposites hyper-activity in heterogeneous non-catalytic and catalytic reactions

This project aims to demonstrate that certain efficiency limits and conventional rules of stoichiometry can be broken and engineered to deliver cost-effective solutions for current challenges in water reclamation and environmental remediation. 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
