Ph.D. student (f/m/d) for Oxygen Management in Electrochemical Direct Air Capture and Wastewater Bioprocesses

06.02., Academic staff

The Laboratory of Chemical Process Engineering at TUM's Campus in Straubing
is looking as soon as possible for a Ph.D. student (f/m/d) for
Oxygen Management in Electrochemical Direct Air Capture and Wastewater Bioprocesses

Many emerging processes rely on oxygen-sensitive chemistry and biology—yet their aqueous media are often unavoidably contacted with air and become oxygen-saturated. Dissolved oxygen can impose oxidative stress on redox-active systems in electrochemical direct air capture (DAC) and related electrochemical processes, lowering efficiency and material stability. Oxygen also reduces yields in anoxic biotechnological operations such as denitri-fication in wastewater treatment. This advertised position targets research on efficient, scalable, and low-energy strategies to remove diss...
