Frederiksberg C
Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, Section of Environmental Chemistry and Physics invites applicants for a postdoc on biochar catalysed degradation of halogenated pollutants. Start 1 October 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position has a duration of 12 Months.
Biochar, the carbon material that remains after pyrolysis of a biomass, can exhibit catalytic properties, meaning it can shuttle electrons and/or radicals released from strongly reduced or oxidized materials. This process has shown great potential for fast and full degradation of chlorinated ethylenes in soil environments using composites of biochar and reduced iron materials. Biochars can also accelerate oxidative degradation processes, for example in combination with persulfate for the degradation of antibiotics.
The work of the postdoc will be associated with the ARAGORN project (https://aragorn-horizon.eu), an EU soil mission project aimed at mitigating risks and restoring Europe’s contaminated soils. The tasks will include: 1) Developing and testing biochar-oxidant composites for fast and full degradation of chlorinated compounds; 2) Assessing performance of optimized reaction systems at the column scales with real contaminated soils and groundwater; and 3) Comparison of performance of optimized reaction system to existing remediation technologies, including literature review and analyses of market products.
The postdoc will be responsible for activities related to both ongoing laboratory experiments and field investigations as well as teaching. The postdoc may also include performance of other duties.
