PhD Position Thermo-Mechanical Methods of Recycling Fine Aggregates
4 maanden geleden
We are seeking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our research team at Resources and recycling, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences. The position focuses on developing innovative thermo-mechanical methods of recycling fine aggregates retrieved from construction and demolition waste. The research involves experimental studies to evaluate the effect of heating and mechanical processing techniques on the property of recycled fine aggregates and cement rich powder, such as particle size distribution, morphology, thermal stability, and reactivity. Additionally, the project investigates the performance of concrete mixtures made by incorporating recycled aggregates, including mechanical strength, durability, and environmental impact. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on innovative research ideas that address the critical societal challenges in sustainable construction and contribute to the advancement of circular economy principles in the building sector.
The ultimate goal is to develop a feasible and sustainable recycling technique for fine recycled aggregates and promote their use for construction applications.
Key research objectives are:
- Develop novel thermo-mechanical processing techniques and investigate the effect of thermo-mechanical parameters (e.g., temperature, residence time, milling) on the morphology, particle size distribution, and surface characteristics of recycled fine aggregates and cement rich powder.
- Develop a separation technique to enhance the classification of cementitious materials from inert sand fraction within the powder product.
- Evaluate the mechanical properties (e.g., compressive strength, tensile strength, modulus of elasticity) and durability (e.g., resistance to freeze-thaw cycles, sulfate attack, alkali-silica reaction) of mortar mixes made of recycled fine aggregates and cement rich powder.
- Assess the environmental impact and life cycle assessment of thermo-mechanical recycling methods compared to conventional recycling approaches.
Resources and Recycling is a research group with strong links to the mineral processing and recycling industries. The group’s ambition is to create breakthroughs in recycling by applying fundamental science to innovative processes and implementing them in collaboration with industry. The ongoing research projects combine theoretical insights and modelling with experiments in the group’s laboratory and pilot plants.
The Department of focuses on the development of resilient, smart and sustainable structures and infrastructures. Our aim is to meet societal demands in transportation, the energy transition and sustainable reuse. Research themes include dynamics of structures, mechanics of materials related to e.g. climate change, modelling and design of railway systems, multi-scale modelling of pavement materials and structures, reuse of materials, structures and parts of structures, assessment methods for structures, smart monitoring techniques, design methods, replacement and renovation of civil infrastructure and development of new materials and maintenance techniques. Our unique Macro Mechanics Laboratory facilities support full-scale testing, monitoring and modelling of structures to facilitate implementation of innovations. The department delivers both groundbreaking research and world-class education for undergraduate and graduate students. As a team, we represent different backgrounds, skills and views. We foster an inclusive culture, as our combined identities, attitudes and ambitions widen our perspective and make up our strengths.
