Wetsus, the European centre of excellence for sustainable water technology, is offering a PhD project titled Beyond the boundaries of phosphate desorption . The project explores the surface chemistry behind phosphate-iron (hydr)oxide sorption, with a strong focus on regeneration mechanisms, desorption kinetics, and regenerant consumption in wastewater treatment applications. Research conducted at Wetsus has shown that continuous adsorption with iron (hydr)oxide-based adsorbents can remove phosph...

PhD opportunity at the University of St Andrews in the School of Chemistry with Dr Amit Kumar and the Kumar Research Group. This funded PhD project focuses on the chemical upcycling of nitrile gloves through catalysis , polymer chemistry , organic chemistry , and inorganic chemistry . The research will develop new catalysts and methodologies for transforming nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), a material widely used in nitrile gloves, into value-added polymers and explore applications for the result...
