DescriptionWe offer a postdoc in experimental measurement and modelling in systems relevant to solvent-based CO2 capture. Specifically you will perform mass transfer measurements in a wetted-wall column. The measurements will enable you to model the system using appropriate kinetic, thermodynamic and transport models.
You are a chemical engineer with laboratory experience in a relevant area such as CO2 absorption in capture solvents and you have a solid foundation in the relevant theory – mass transfer, kinetics, thermodynamics, absorption column modelling. Ideally you have experience with laboratory-scale wetted-wall columns.
As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree preferably in Chemical Engineering
