PhD on Biological Coagulant Recovery

该项目旨在了解、改进和加速微生物在铁基混凝剂回收中的应用。这项工作将探索特定生物将铁从废物中自然循环成可回收产品以供当地再利用的条件，并提出优化方法。因此，理想的候选人将具有微生物学或工程学科的强大背景，并希望将其应用于推动持续循环使用混凝剂以改善环境影响。这项工作将主要在实验室进行，与克兰菲尔德水务公司的专家团队进行频繁的接触和智力讨论。

The project aims to understand, improve and accelerate the use of microorganisms for iron-based coagulant recovery. The work will explore the conditions under which specific organisms can naturally cycle iron from waste into a recoverable product for local reuse, and propose ways to optimise this. As such, the ideal candidate will have a strong background in either microbiology or an engineering discipline, and a desire to apply it to drive towards a sustaining circular use of coagulants for improved environmental impacts. The work will be primarily in the laboratory, with frequent contact and opportunities for intellectual discussions with the expert team within Cranfield Water.
