Overview
- The Selective Recovery of Rare Earth Elements from Spent Permanent Magnet Leachates using Diglycolamide-phosphoric acid Impregnated Resins (Id 490) Master theses
- Department: Process Metallurgy
- Master thesis project focusing on the selective recovery of rare earth elements (REEs) from spent magnet leachates using diglycolamide-phosphoric acid impregnated resins. The work aims to develop new impregnated resins, optimize parameters for better REE recovery, and investigate extraction/sorption mechanisms. Real magnet leachates may be tested.
Befristung
- Conduct literature research on extraction chromatography on resins, impregnation with various ligands, and their applications in metal recovery
- Design and conduct laboratory experiments under several parameters such as contact time, acid concentration, sorption models, etc
- Optimize experimental conditions for recovery of REE from magnet leachates
- Prepare a thesis report and present findings at conferences or workshops
Ihr Profil
- Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or related field
- Knowledge of ion or extraction chromatography, and impregnation of inert carrier resins
- Knowledge of analytical techniques such as FTIR, SEM, AFM, XRD, etc
