[交流] PhD opportunity-adsorption of metal ions

PhD opportunity – Memorial University
Department: Process Engineering
Supervisor: Dr. Yan Zhang (Webpage)
Research Topic: Adsorption of metal ions from wastewater with 2D nanocarbon-reinforced
biopolymer composites
Anticipated Starting Date: Fall 2025 or Winter 2026
Department Background
The Department of Process Engineering at Memorial University emphasizes the processing and
production of petrochemicals, oil, gas, minerals, food, and any other materials used to obtain
valuable products through green and sustainable technologies. Research in the department covers
the topics of chemical and biochemical conversion of natural resources into useful intermediate
industrial chemicals and ultimately end products; green recovery of valuable metals from lowgrade ores; contaminant removal from solid fuels, crude oil and natural gas; modeling, simulation
and optimal control of complex reactions, separation and integrated reaction-separation processes.
Research Project
The PhD study will be focused on experimental investigation of adsorptive removal/recovery of
metal ions using 2D nanocarbon-reinforced biopolymer composites. This research project is
supported by an Alliance Mission Grant from the National Sciences and Engineering Research
Council of Canada (NSERC). The chosen candidate will be awarded a yearly scholarship
amounting to $25,000 for a duration of 4 years to support their PhD research. The objective of this
project is to design and fabricate economically viable adsorbents that can efficiently remove or
recover metal ions from industrial effluents. The ultimate objective of the research is to design and
implement a pilot-scale fixed-bed adsorption technology that can effectively remove/recover metal
ions from industrial effluents.
How to Apply
Prospective applicants interested in pursuing this postgraduate study opportunity are welcome to
send a curriculum vitae, the names of two referees, and transcripts of undergraduate and mater’s
studies to Dr. Yan Zhang at yanz@mun.ca.
