Does competition between hydrogen and methane consumption by soil microbes lead to climate impacts?

Summary. Emissions of hydrogen (H2) can act as a secondary greenhouse gas that distorts the atmospheric methane (CH4) sink. Soil bacteria can utilise H2 and CH4, but ecological mechanisms underpinning this competition remain poorly understood. 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

Sustainable production of lithium using battery materials

Supervisory Team.   Prof Richard Wills, Prof. Nuria Garcia-Araez. Project description. The accelerating growth of the battery market requires major advances in the production of lithium for the supply of materials to manufacture the batteries. Read more

Evaluating role of microjet plasma interactions with slurry to mitigate ammonia volatilisation

  Research Group: CENTA - Central England NERC Training Alliance
Project Highlights. Microjet plasma will create a vortex in slurry to improve absorption of plasma species to liquid. pH of slurry will reduce leading to conservation of N, mitigating ammonia losses. Read more

Development of low cost, high accuracy, freshwater analytical sensors to enable “Citizen Science” monitoring of UK river systems.

  Research Group: CENTA - Central England NERC Training Alliance
Project Highlights. Development of new, low-cost, but improved accuracy sensors for use by the general public for citizen science monitoring of river water health in the UK. Read more

Photocatalytic decomposition of nitrous oxide

  Research Group: CENTA - Central England NERC Training Alliance
Project Highlights. The project aims to address the remediation of greenhouse gases, specifically focusing on the decomposition of nitrous oxide (N2O). Read more

Carbon sequestration processes in the rusty carbon sink

Carbon is sequestered in soils and sediments via mineral associations. Over 20% of organiccarbon in sediments is directly bound to reactive iron mineral phases, giving rise to the so-called ‘rusty carbon sink’ (Lalonde et al. Read more

EPSRC DTP PhD project: The prevalence and persistence of antibiotic resistance plasmids in wastewater.

The University of Bath is inviting applications for the following PhD project commencing on 30 September 2024 under the supervision of Prof Edward Feil in the Department of Life Sciences, with co-supervison from Prof Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern in the Department of Chemistry and Dr Theresa Smith in the Department of Mathematics.

Elucidating the fate of iron and copper based nanofertilizer in soil-plant system using isotope labelling and synchrotron techniques

Nanotechnology is a rapidly advancing enabling technology with the potential to revolutionize modern life. More recently, the application of nanotechnology in agriculture has garnered significant attention due to its high potential to facilitate sustainable agriculture and enhance food security.

Effect of high ionic strength groundwater and reactive sedimentary minerals on cement backfill performance

Overview: . The UK has recently expanded both the range of backfill cement formulations to be considered in UK radioactive waste repository planning, and simultaneously included the potential to use lower strength sedimentary rock as the host rock. Read more
