Deriving value from waste and promoting a transition to a circular economy is one of the greatest challenges of the current generation. We cannot keep taking, using and throwing away valuable materials.
This project offers the opportunity to gain a Masters qualification working in collaboration with a leading recycling company. Understanding gained through this project will be much in demand as manufacturers and retailers seek innovative new ways to recover material from waste streams. The project degree fees are sponsored, and you are paid a stipend whilst undertaking the research.
WRAP data (2012) suggests 85% of UK mattresses end up in landfill. This is not sustainable. Mattress collection and recycling is labour intensive, due to variable design and the heterogeneous nature of post-consumer feedstock. This project seeks to identify and optimise engineering approaches capable of delivering improvements in mattress reuse/recycling/recovery rates. The emphasis is to recover value or convert waste materials into products which have a real market value.
Working with academics in the Engineering department and in collaboration with the company, you will use experimental and analytical engineering skills to investigate novel approaches for the processing and re-use of mattress materials. Graduates with an interest in sustainability and at least an upper second-class degree in Chemical/Process, Materials, Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline are encouraged to apply for the project.

This project offers the opportunity to gain a masters qualification working in collaboration with a leading supplier of precious metals. Understanding gained through this project will be in high demand as vehicle manufacturers seek to innovate to make fuel cell technology affordable. The project degree fees are sponsored, and you are paid a stipend whilst undertaking the research.
Fuel cells are becoming increasingly vital sources of power, with predictions for markets to surge in the next 20 years. A fuel cell includes a membrane impregnated with precious metals using Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) technology. Applications include electrolysers, trains, stationary power and fuel cell vehicles.
The aim of this project is to explore methods of recycling fuel cell membranes (MEA) safely in order to separate the reusable precious metal content from other products that may damage the environment. Currently, precious metals can only be recovered through a process of burning and releasing hazardous compounds. Fuel cells and electrolysers are part of the green energy revolution. This project aims to provide a recycling solution that will recover more useful valuable metals that can feed directly back into the production process.
The successful applicant has the opportunity to explore the leaching and deposition kinetics of some of the components not previously studied, such as iridium. This will likely involve techniques and equipment such as rotating discs, ring disc electrodes and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance. The team will use this work to design a process / reactor, which allows the validation of the performance.
This project would suit a chemical engineering or chemistry graduate.

The MSc in Environment and Development (E&D) is an interdisciplinary programme exploring the inter-dependencies between pressing environmental concerns and development pressures. It explores these themes, the disputes around it and practical issues from an informed theoretical perspective, with an abiding concern for social justice claims. Conventional academic approaches focus on development or the environment as separate categories, while this programme looks at socioeconomic development as a socio-ecological and politicoecological process.
In particular this E&D programme focuses on:
Those issues will be studied at the local and national level, but also taking into account the global scale of environmental and development agendas. In many cases the root causes of inequality and poverty, both in the Global South and in the Global North, are driven by regional or global economics far beyond the borders of a particular country, village or region.
The programme will teach you to critically evaluate the multiple dimensions of the relationship between development and the environment. Teaching, fieldwork, group and practical exercises will use examples of relevance to Northern and Southern countries.
The breadth and depth of the School of GeoSciences enables students to explore a variety of environment and development issues relevant to the programme: e.g. biophysical dynamics, food insecurity, environmental governance, river basin management, cultural studies, climate change, multiple scarcities and inequalities, gender and development,etc. Students are challenged to cultivate research thinking that is cross-cutting and globally relevant, but also grounded in cases that focus on particular issues, places or systems, providing insights to effective solutions.
This programme is affiliated with the University's Global Development Academy.
This MSc consists of two semesters of taught courses. Students take two compulsory and four option courses, each a balance of lectures, seminars, workshops and visits, followed by an individual dissertation.
