Job Offer: EPSRC DTP Internship: Exploring Gaseous Emissions in Applied Smouldering Systems:Job description:Job location: Milton Keynes Please note this position will be employed via a temporary staff agency. Job location: Milton Keynes campus Terms: 10 weeks full-time, 37 hours per week Monday to Friday. Proposed start dated 1 July 2024. Closing Date: 7th May 2024 The function This project will explore a novel thermal waste treatment technology, applied smouldering. Applied smouldering has recently emerged as a sustainable means to treat challenging wastes, which are otherwise disposed of in hazardous landfills (e.g., contaminated soils). While engineers and scientists are making strides in developing this technology to deal with environmental challenges, the gaseous emissions are poorly understood. Oftentimes, the emissions contain hazards that require treatment; however, beneficial compounds can be produced (e.g., H2). Ultimately, this project targets this expertise gap to improve the efficiency and sustaincapability of smouldering waste treatment. The full summary of tasks and person specification can be found within the Job Description.
