Objective
This proposal aims to support the collaboration of leading researchers to study the degradation of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), with the broad aim of supporting the development of dynamic world-class human resources in the European research system. The proposal consists of a scientific project and scientific and complimentary training. This project aims to investigate the use of ferrate, photocatalytic and photo-electrocatalytic oxidation for degrading EDCs in wastewater and to optimise the operating conditions. The key objectives are:
To develop a sampling and analytical strategy for monitoring target EDCs in effluent before and after treatment.
To prepare ferrate using the patented technology for EDC oxidation so as to identify the optimum operating conditions;
To perform photocatalytic experiments for the degradation of EDCs;
To design and construct a photo-electrocatalytic oxidation reactor for evaluating its performance for the degradation of EDCs;
To comprehensively assess the technical and economic performance of the ferrate and photo-electrocatalytic oxidation for degrading EDCs through site trials.
The fellow will receive scientific training to acquire further practical skills in environmental investigations and data analyses;
To design, conduct and report on cutting edge research on EDCs;
To operate modern instruments;
To develop novel treatment methods for removing EDCs from wastewater.
Complementary training will involve the fellow learning and practising transferable skills, e.g. presentation, project management and grant application, as part of his career development plan. The objectives will be achieved through careful planning and management of the fellowship. The scientific project is timely and appropriate methodology has been established. Novel and state-of-the-art techniques will be used. The supervisors and the fellow have relevant expertises. The fellow is expected to become a fully independent researcher.
