About the role

This post is 14 hours per week

Capacitive deionisation (CDI) has demonstrated abilities in effective removal of ionic species from water with advantages such as low energy cost, less prone to interference ions, low scaling and fouling tendency. Currently there is a huge demand for decentralised water treatment technology especially in remote rural communities, where there is no power grid access, including mining, agricultural and health sectors. In addition, CDI operation requires direct current (DC) power, so solar photovoltaic panels coupled with battery banks can directly supply the power for decentralised CDI units. Therefore, CDI is a perfect solution for remote rural locations in many third world countries, where there is ample sunlight all year around but no power grid access.

The key aim of this project will be establishing the feasibility of this low-cost novel technology with some specific responsibilities:

  1. Design lab and pilot capacitive deionisation (CDI) water treatment system; Using Solidworks and ANSYS is essential.
  2. Responsibility of the day-to-day operation of CDI electrode production and system testing.
  3. Provide a supporting role within Chemical Engineering research and/or teaching facilities working in collaboration with staff, students and other faculties as required.
