The following projects could be undertaken in the research area of Analytical and Environmental Chemistry
Increasing reuse and recycling of water in the paper industry (Doctorate)
|
|
Supervisors:
Trevor Lewis,
Karen Stack,
Brian Yates
|
A PhD Scholarship is available to study colloid properties and interactions in papermaking to allow more efficient use of water. The project combines aspects of Physical, Analytical, Environmental and Computational Chemistries. Based in Tasmania, it is supported by Norske Skog Paper (with papermills in Tasmania and Albury, NSW) and the Australian Pulp and Paper Institute at Monash University.

Application of passive sampling devices for sampling herbicides in the environment. (Doctorate)
|
|
Supervisors:
Andrew Seen
| |
The development of passive sampling devices for routine monitoring of herbicides in the environment would provide a cost effective means for time-integrated sampling. This project would determine appropriate diffusion layers and binding phases, and validate/calibrate passive sampling of herbicides in the environment.

The zinc smelter in Hobart (Nyrstar) uses water from the Derwent Estuary to remove sulphur dioxide (SO2) from waste gases using a tail gas scrubbing system. However, it is necessary to regularly deconstruct the scrubbing system to remove excessive biofouling associated with blue mussel accumulation. Consequently, Nyrstar is investigating alternative approaches for management of biofouling.
