Novel materials and processes for the abatement and degradation of organic pollutants in water
The provision of clean water is a global issue with societal, health, and economic implications. An important challenge is the removal of aromatic solvents and chlorinated compounds, which are very frequent pollutants in both industrial and rural areas, and which are highly toxic. Read more
Development and synthesis of zeolites for the conversion of sugars to biofuels and environmental applications
A promising strategy to replace non-renewable fuel sources, as raw material for energy applications, is to convert renewable biomass into transportation fuels and value-added chemicals. Read more
Synthesis and design of heterogeneous catalysts for the petrochemical industry
The development of novel catalysts for selective oxidation reactions is an area of decisive importance for both industry and academia. Read more
EPSRC- Environmental fate of radioactive ‘hot particles’ in marine and terrestrial systems: A biogeochemical study
The UK has a legacy of radioactive “hot particles” in the environment which were released into the sea via historic discharge (e.g. Read more
Understanding interactions between minerals and small biopolymers under extreme conditions
Project Summary. This project combines computational screening and wet-lab experiments to develop a comprehensive understanding of the interactions between silicate minerals and small biologically-relevant molecules, such as amino acids, peptides, peptoids and proteins. Read more
Evaluation of the impact of Catchment Sensitive Farming in reducing pesticide contamination in English rivers
With funding from the Environment Agency, this project will work on the high-profile topic of freshwater quality and will contribute to the evaluation of a government-funded water quality programme. Read more
Innovative Spectroscopic Approaches to Water Quality Monitoring
Providing clean water to a growing global population is a huge challenge and there is now a pressing need for us to develop better methods to measure water quality, since these underpin efforts to prevent pollution and measure the success of remediation efforts. Read more
In-situ disposal of cementitious wastes at UK nuclear sites
This fully funded UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) PhD bursary provides an exciting opportunity to pursue postgraduate research relating to waste management during the decommissioning of UK nuclear sites. Read more
Development and evaluation of novel nitrogen removal strategies for animal slurries and anaerobic digestates for precision fertiliser application in a global context
Project Title: Development and evaluation of novel nitrogen removal strategies for animal slurries and anaerobic digestates for precision fertiliser application in a global context. Read more
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
Properties of Sustainable Liquid Fuels
In the on-going drive to lower CO. 2. emissions, sustainable biologically-derived and synthetic liquid fuels are expected to replace petroleum-derived fuels in some automotive applications. Read more
GREENCDT The impact of polyacrylamide radiolytic and microbial degradation products on the interim and long term storage of radwaste
Managing the radioactive waste inventory in the UK, is a £multibillion grand challenge. Polyacrylamide has been identified as a potential settling aid which can improve sludge settling operations in nuclear waste storage ponds on the Sellafield site, by flocculating a range of legacy fuel materials. Read more
Probing the local structure of functional materials under high pressure
This is a joint collaborative project between the University of Warwick and the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source. ISIS is a world-leading facility for studying the atomic-level structure of materials that attracts over 3000 external researchers each year from over 30 different countries. Read more
Biological coagulant recovery for resilient and sustainable water and wastewater treatment PhD
This PhD position offers an exciting opportunity to do pioneering research on the recovery of nutrients and metals from water treatment sludge to embrace the circular economy and protect our environment. Read more
Electrochemical and paper-microfluidics detection for monitoring water disinfection
The exciting PhD opportunity was funded by. EPSRC CDT WISER. Read more
