PhD Position in Chemical Recycling of Aromatic Polyamides

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our research team at the University of Twente. The successful candidate will work on the development and optimization of a novel chemical recycling process for aromatic polyamide fibers.

About the Project

The PhD project is part of the Amazing project, a collaborative effort between the University of Twente, ISPT, and four industrial partners. The goal is to design and build a pilot plant for the chemical recycling of aromatic polyamide fibers using hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL). The PhD researcher will be responsible for developing and optimizing the reaction step, designing the downstream system, and determining the thermodynamic data for the separation and purification steps.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and optimize the reaction step using HTL for the cleavage of polyamides into their monomeric building blocks
  • Design the downstream system, including distillation, extraction, and crystallization
  • Determine the thermodynamic data for the separation and purification steps
  • Model and simulate the process design using Aspen Plus or equivalent tools
  • Perform Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the recycling process
Requirements
  • Master's degree in Chemical Engineering with a strong background in reaction engineering, chemical processes, and separation technologies
  • High degree of responsibility and independence, with excellent collaboration and communication skills
  • Experience with experimental laboratory systems and modeling and simulation of chemical processes
  • Fluency in English and good communication skills
What We Offer
  • Full-time PhD position for 4 years
  • Dynamic ecosystem with enthusiastic colleagues in a stimulating scientific environment
  • Gross monthly PhD salary of € 2,770.- in the first year and € 3,539.- in the fourth year
  • Excellent benefits, including holiday allowance, year-end bonus, pension scheme, and professional development programs
