Imperial College London’s Department of Chemical Engineering is advertising a PhD scholarship project on chemical recycling and upcycling of PET (poly(ethylene terephthalate)). The project focuses on converting PET waste streams into monomers and higher-value chemical building blocks through catalytic depolymerisation routes such as glycolysis, methanolysis, and hydrolysis. You will work on catalyst design and characterisation, reaction mechanism studies, and the translation of laboratory findin...

Fully funded PhD studentship at the University of Sussex in the School of Engineering and Informatics on Microstructure and Defect Control in Recycled Aluminium Alloys . This project addresses a key challenge in the transition to a circular economy: how to increase the use of recycled aluminium while maintaining castability and performance. The research focuses on the interplay between grain refinement , iron (Fe) impurities , and defect susceptibility in recycled aluminium alloys. Fe-rich inter...
