Industrial PhD in Microplastics Recovery and Thermochemical Valorization IMDEA Energy in Spain

PhD project at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in collaboration with Xi'an Jiaotong University and the University of Liverpool, focused on microplastics , emerging organic contaminants , polymer aging , and pollutant vectoring . The project asks how co-existing contaminants such as tetrabromobisphenol A and bisphenol A may regulate the photo-oxidative aging of polyethylene and polyethylene terephthalate, and how those aging pathways change subsequent pollutant uptake. Methods include control...
