Fully Funded PhD in Biochar for Phosphorus and PFAS Removal from Water Harper Adams University in United Kingdom

Funded PhD studentship at Harper Adams University on biochar for phosphorus and PFAS removal from water . This project tackles two major water-quality challenges at once: removing persistent PFAS (“forever chemicals”) from treated wastewater effluent and recovering excess phosphorus. The research will investigate engineered biochar as a dual-purpose adsorbent, with emphasis on biochar modification techniques, pollutant removal performance, and regeneration strategies for repeated reuse. The topi...
