Kongens Lyngby
Are you interested in the circular economy and valorization of potential secondary resources? And are you interested in international collaboration with highly engaged international experts? Then this PhD project might be something for you. DTU Sustain is inviting applications for a 3-year PhD position.
The PhD project is part of the Horizon Europe project, AshCycle, which has the major aim to develop new tools for the utilization of ashes from incineration of municipal solid waste, biomass, and sewage sludge. About 25 Mt/year of these ashes are landfilled (a large part as contaminated waste), which leads to significant losses of metals, nutrients, rare earth elements, and industrially valuable minerals present in the ashes. The AshCycle consortium, with 28 partners from 8 countries, will develop and demonstrate technologies and products with incineration residues as secondary resources in regional Industrial-Urban Symbiosis.
This specific PhD project aims at developing optimized production parameters when using incineration ashes in clay bricks and to produce a pilot demonstration in collaboration with the industrial partners. The potential of using the ashes in clay bricks will be explored in relation to mix design, production parameters, and resulting mechanical and environmental properties of the bricks.
Responsibilities and qualifications

In addition, the candidate must be experienced in planning and conducting experimental laboratory work. Good command of the English language, both spoken and written, is essential.
