In this project students will:
Develop and design a new setup for novel techniques to activate our nanoporous catalysts for improved wastewater treatment performance.
Evaluate these innovative activation mechanisms in terms of water cleaning performance, cost, and energy use.
A detailed study on removal efficiency of various hazardous pollutants such as toxic pharmaceuticals, pesticides, insecticides, chemicals etc. will be made with the newly developed cleaning method.
Study influence of new activation on catalysts’ lifetime and stability.
Study influence of additional energy sources on catalyst activation and wastewater treatment efficiency.
Student should have interest in process engineering, mechanical engineering, designing and constructing new setups, performing simulations, willingness to work in an organized manner in a lab. Specialized knowledge of fluid dynamics is beneficial.
