PhD Electrospunbound porous membrane adsorbers for water purification & reuse

at  TU Eindhoven

JOB DESCRIPTION

In these times where circularity and accessibility to safe drinking and irrigation water is becoming increasingly important and under pressure, (membrane)adsorption is an attractive method to attack water scarcity by selectively removing harmful micropollutants and undesired components from the water cycle such that polluted water can be safely reused. The application of membrane adsorbers is sustainable and contributes to a circular economy with a focus on recovery and reuse of valuable resources. The aim of this research is the development of a green platform to design and prepare membrane adsorbers.
