ARC PhD Scholarship in Algae Removal in Water
Scholarship Description
A PhD scholarship is available via an ARC Linkage Grant to investigate a novel adaptation to the dissolved air flotation (DAF) process to enhance algae removal in both drinking water and advanced wastewater treatment systems. Algal and cyanobacteria blooms are of particular concern in drinking water resources due to their negative impact on treatment processes, as well as their potential to release harmful toxins into water supplies and impact on taste and odour quality of drinking water. DAF is commonly employed for algae removal but often times with only limited success. The suitable candidate will have a background in either chemistry, environmental and/or chemical engineering or biotechnology. The candidate should have a demonstrated aptitude for undertaking laboratory work and an understanding of water treatment technologies. Refer to PDF for more information.
