Membrane Technology for Sustainable Development (2022)

Description:
Transition towards a green economy is one of the key-strategies in the 21st century that requires reducing carbon footprints, improving resource efficiency and reducing waste. Membrane technology has an important role in achieving the goal of circular economy in industrial processes.

The aim of this PhD course is to give a broad overview of various aspects of membrane technology including membrane synthesis, membrane characterization, large-scale applications and control and monitoring of the membrane processes. The course will also cover fouling and cleaning strategies for membrane processes.

The course will consist of lectures, group exercises, presentation and discussion of the participants own projects as well as networking. 

Learning outcomes:

-          Basic understanding and overview of various membrane processes

-          Synthesis and characterization of ceramic and polymeric membrane

-          Transport and modeling of membrane processes

-          Control and monitoring of membrane processes

-          Fouling and cleaning strategies

Important information concerning PhD courses:
We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3.000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
