Environmental Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students in the UK

We have 102 Environmental Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students in the UK

CO2 catalytic conversion using renewable hydrogen sources

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

PhD in Predicting the environmental degradation of plastics

Understanding how plastics and polymers degrade in the environment is an important sustainability target. Our work in this area uses innovative analytical techniques and simulated environments to understand how specific plastics degrade in different environments. 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

Mechanochemical Preparation of Biodegradable Pharmaceuticals

Twin-screw extrusion (TSE) has been demonstrated as an excellent means of industrialising mechanochemistry (instigation of a chemical reaction by mechanical energy, in the absence of solvents), overcoming the barriers involved in batch processing (such as ball milling) such as scalability and reaction temperature control. Read more

Dynamic behaviours of metal-organic frameworks and their guests

Self-funded applicants are invited to join our vibrant research community at the University of Birmingham's School of Chemistry for a PhD position focused on functional Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Read more

PhD in Chemistry: Applications of main group Lewis acids in synthetic organic chemistry

Applications of main group Lewis acids in synthetic organic chemistry. This project will investigate the use of boron or aluminium Lewis acids in transformations typically catalysed by transition metals. Read more

Three-Dimensional Microfluidics for High Throughput Reactions and Bioassays

High-throughput reactions and bioassays allow cost-effective testing of large libraries of bio/chemical molecules for drug discovery, disease diagnosis, and industrial biotechnology. Read more

Biosensor for Point-of-Care DNA Detection

DNA detection is needed for a range of applications including clinical diagnostics and environmental monitoring. As target DNA is often present in very low concentrations, it is typically amplified using methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) [1], before detection. Read more

PhD in Chemistry: Developing innovative organofluorine chemistry

PhD in Chemistry - Developing innovative organofluorine chemistry. Dr Matthew Tredwell is looking for a PhD student to develop innovative organofluorine chemistry. Read more
