PhD Studentship: 3D-Printed Reactors for Shrinking Chemical Processes - Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom - Newcastle University
Description
Award Summary
The studentship provides 100% fees (Home & international), a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £19, /25 UKRI rate), and a research training support grant of £20,000.
Overview
The PINZ CDT will train the next generation of process and chemical engineers, and chemists, to develop the new processes, process technologies and green chemistries required for the process industries' transition to Net Zero.
"Flow chemistry" is increasingly of interest in the chemicals and pharmaceuticals industries, to allow rapid process development and scale-up, whilst ensuring inherently more efficient continuous, rather than batch, processing.
In this project, novel laboratory-scale continuous reactors will be designed and 3d-printed, and applied to a variety of real reactions from industry, currently performed in batch, to demonstrate "process intensification" and rapid, scalable process development/optimisation. Previous work in the area by the Process Intensification Group has demonstrated that many batch processes can be made significantly "greener" via this method of process development. One recent example is a 200-fold reduction in reactor size while removing an organic solvent altogether, whilst maintaining productivity and improving yield/selectivity etc. We expect to achieve similar results with our current reactions, leading to huge reductions in carbon footprint, to help the process industries move towards Net Zero. Our 3d printing approach is highly flexible, meaning the impact of this work will be potentially far-reaching.
