About the position

We have a vacancy for a PhD candidate position within theParticle Engineering Centreat the Department of Chemical Engineering.

For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.

TheParticle Engineering Centreat the Department of Chemical Engineering at NTNU was established in early 2021. The basis for the research in the Centre is an extensive experience at the department within particle synthesis and characterization, which quite recently was put into practical application as part of the COVID-19 test method developed at NTNU. The objective of the Centre is to advance the scientific knowledge within fundamental and applied particle engineering. Ongoing research activities focus on synthesis, characterization and tailoring of particles for use in nanomedicine and environmental applications.

The proposed PhD project aims to improve CO2 absorption efficiency of conventional amine solvents by developing their corresponding nanofluids. A comprehensive study is planned to prepare stable nanofluids with optimal thermophysical properties and to examine their effects on mass transfer kinetics and overall CO2 absorption performance under conditions resembling real CO2 capture plants.
