Fully Funded and Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water PhD Scholarship: Per- and Poly-fluoroalkyl Substances
4 weeks ago
Funding providers: Swansea University's Faculty of Science and Engineering and Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water
Subject areas: Water Treatment
Project start date:
- 1 October 2024 (Enrolment open from mid-September)
Project description:
The occurrence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in biosolids of wastewater treatment plants is becoming a serious issue since these substances are persistent in the environment and are carcinogenic to humans. As regulation is evolving to limit their levels in drinking water, wastewater and sludge, effective treatment technologies are required to reduce or remove PFAS in contaminated liquid and wastewater sludge matrices. This PhD programme will evaluate the destruction of PFAS using catalytic hydrothermal and advanced oxidation processes mainly focused on biosolids. The project will, in collaboration with Welsh Water and other water companies, determine the relevant PFAS substances to study and optimise the treatment process to reduce or fully remove PFAS and other relevant emerging contaminants in biosolids. The PhD student will benefit from a well-established research discipline at Swansea University and through collaboration with industry will develop a unique opportunity for training in new techniques and networking.
Eligibility
Candidates must hold a UK bachelor's degree with a minimum of Upper Second Class honours or overseas bachelor's degree deemed equivalent to UK honours (by UK ECCTIS) and achieved a grade equivalent to UK Upper Second Class honours in Engineering or similar relevant science discipline.
