Master Thesis:
MEMBRANE FOR DESALINATION

Motivation:

In an innovative project we investigate feasibility of removing heavy metals from an industrial waste water using electrodialysis. In an experimental study the suitable ion-exchange membranes should be selected and the influence of different process parameters on desalination via electrodialysis should be investigated.

Are you eager to gain practical experience in the field of membrane processes and contribute to the development of an environmentally friendly technology?!

​

Tasks:

• Research on available membranes for desalination of specific industrial waste water

• Extension of the test-bench

• Experimental investigations of electrodialysis desalination process with selected membranes

• Planning; regular discussions and presentations

Requirements:

• Matriculation in Process Engineering, Chemistry or similar

• Knowledge of membrane processes, electrochemistry, measurement & control, or polymer chemistry are of advantage

• Motivation for hands-on and experimental work
