Chemical Engineering (surface) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 82 Chemical Engineering (surface) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Droplet Impacts with Functional Surfaces

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

Engineering Mineral Layers for Decommissionable Concrete

Nuclear sites contain large volumes of radioactively contaminated concrete. Prior to decommissioning, these concrete structures must be surface decontaminated to minimise the requirement for waste disposal. Read more

Modelling bubble-particle interactions for solids separation

Bubble-particle systems are encountered in a wide range of industrial and environmental applications (flotation, bioreactors, slurry bubble columns) but the complex dynamics and interactions make the design and operation of such systems particularly challenging. Read more

Future Carbon-Neutral Fuels: The Chemistry of Ammonia on Steel Surfaces

  Research Group: School of Chemical and Process Engineering
This project will examine how ammonia, a carbon-free fuel considered a replacement for diesel, impacts on the longevity and performance of existing engine technologies. Read more

An investigation into droplet splashing and levitation phenomena in multiphase systems

PROJECT SUMMARY (a short summary - max 40 words).  . With this project, we propose an investigation into a variety of dynamics and effects produced by the interaction of a droplet or a group of droplets with a solid or liquid surface. Read more

Investigation and modification of surface treatments for attracting and capturing microfibres dispersed in aqueous environments

Microplastic pollution is a well-known environmental concern. The continuous increase in the production and use of plastics in various forms in combination with a lack of waste management in their disposal continues to contribute towards contamination. Read more

(EPSRC DTP ICASE) Materials Performance of austenitic stainless steels in high temperature Helium environment

This innovative PhD project, conducted in collaboration with EDF Energy, invites a passionate and dedicated researcher to join a transformative exploration at the forefront of materials science, making meaningful contributions to the future of energy technology. 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

Data centric modelling of adhesive wear

Supervisory Team:  Robert Wood, Jo Grundy and Dave Stewart (RRSL).  Project description. The occurrence of adhesive wear between sliding surfaces can cause high friction, vibration, material transfer between surfaces and even seizure of components. Read more

Engineered nanomaterials for safe sustainable water purification

Access to clean drinking water and sanitation has seen substantial progress in recent time, however there is still a large part of the global population, that live mostly in rural settings, that lack this basic necessity. Read more
