Are you passionate about a career in research?:


  • Want to access CSIRO's world-class facilities and staff?:

The CSIRO and University of Western Australia are partnering to offer a PhD Scholarship to conduct research into improved wastewater pre-treatment for enhanced recovery of green ammonia.


Background
Ammonia (NH3) has recently been recognised as a suitable renewable energy carrier. Recovering NH3 from wastewater is potentially more energy efficient than producing NH3 by Haber-Bosch process. It is also more energy efficient to produce hydrogen from NH3 than by water electrolysis.

Various technologies for recovering NH3 from waste streams have been reviewed with the bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BPMED) process being identified as the most promising.

BPMED allows ammonium to be removed from water and to simultaneously produce concentrated dissolved NH3 (ammonium hydroxide), without using chemicals, only electricity.


Project aim and objectives


While BPMED has been shown to be efficient to extract ammonia from synthetic waters, some level of pre-treatments is needed in order to ensure that the process is sustainable when treating wastewater.

The aim of this project is to explore various pre-treatment strategies to efficiently control fouling and optimise the BPMED process efficiency in terms of ammonia recovery and energy consumption.

Various pre-treatment options will be trialled including but not limited to: 1) membrane filtration, 2) chemical precipitation, 3) gas sparging or degassing, and 4) ion exchange membrane. The BPMED technology has the potential to turn a waste into a resource based on circular economy.

Location:
Perth, WA

Scholarship:
$35,000 per annum

Tenure:3 years

Reference:91320

Eligibility:

- have a MSc or BSc (Honours) degree in Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering or a relevant field;
- expertise in water treatment, membrane technology, production of green energy or any field relevant to the project; and
- gain admission to the University of Western Australia as a PhD student.

International applicants must have an appropriate Australia visa that will allow them to take up the scholarship.

The successful applicant will be required to obtain and provide a National Police Check or equivalent.
