Offer DescriptionThe production of hydrogen (H2) via Dark Fermentation (DF) of biomass or organic waste coupled with the accumulation of intracellular biodegradable polymers can show several advantages for environmental protection and for the use of renewable sources. From a bio-hydrogen (bio-H2) production perspective, the DF of organic waste can represent the first phase in the waste treatment and valorisation process. It is important to implement a subsequent bioprocess, in which a new generation of plastic materials can be produced through the use of specific aerobic microorganisms. Looking at the global approach, and in consideration of the different renewable energies available (potentially recovered from organic waste), including the production of bio-H2 (from DF), could significantly contribute to European energy needs in the fields of heating and transport; furthermore, the production of specific biopolymers can encourage an increasingly lower consumption of non-degradable plastic materials obtained from fossil sources.RequirementsResearch Field Engineering » Other Education Level Master Degree or equivalentResearch Field Chemistry » Other Education Level Master Degree or equivalentSkills/QualificationsThe interview questions will cover:
General verification of the knowledge of plant and process engineering in the field of environmental sciences, with particular attention to the state of the art of the technologies and biotechnologies applied for waste and wastewater treatment, conversion of solid and liquid waste streams from both urban metabolism and industrial activities. More specifically, an adequate knowledge of innovative technologies that aim at the Testing English level reconversion of residues (carbon and nutrients) from waste streams, to obtain biofuels, building blocks for synthetic chemistry and secondary raw materials with high added value is required.Specific RequirementsAssessment of the English language;
