伦敦大学女王玛丽学院（QMUL）-CSC, PhD Studentship: Thermochemical conversion of solid biofuels to energy and renewable carbon materials.

Project Details:
Providing pathways for low emissions renewable based technologies through conversion of solid biofuels has been a goal during many years of research and technological development.

Much of the technological challenges facing biomass pyrolysis and gasification, relate to the current lack of fundamental understanding of the thermochemical conversion of biomass. Purpose designed laboratory experiments will help to fill these knowledge gaps, break through existing technological barriers and develop new sustainable applications.

The successful candidate will conduct experiments in a novel thermochemical reactor for biomass pyrolysis and gasification, in which traditional production of syngas and bio oil will be coupled to synthesis of porous and nanostructured renewable carbon materials for energy storage applications. Reaction pathways as well as the chemical and morphological evolution of solid particles during thermal conversion of biomass will be investigated alongside strategies for in-situ reduction and upgrading of tars. Particular attention will be dedicated to the understanding of the char-tar-gas interactions in pyrolysing solids as well as to the routes to synthesis of renewable carbon materials through thermochemical processes.
The work will be conducted in close collaboration with a strong group of Chemical Engineers, Chemists and Materials Scientists

之前帮这位老师发过贴，但由于确定的那位学生单方面违约不能过来，所以再发一次，校内的申请工作应该是1月底截止，所以现在还没offer并且很想出来的同学抓紧了，老师应该很快就会确定人选，给出面试机会。老师人很nice，联系老师时请附上自己的简历，谢谢。 返回小木虫查看更多
