BITS-Pilani Chemistry Job Opening – Msc Chemistry Jobs
BITS-Pilani Chemistry Job Applications are invited from eligible candidates for Junior Research Fellow (JRF) to work on the following project sponsored by DST-SERB (SRG/2019/00336) under supervision of Dr. Bhanu Vardhan Reddy Kuncharam, at Department of Chemical Engineering, BITS-Pilani- Pilani campus, Rajasthan. The details are as follows:
Project Title Assessment of Mixed-Matrix membrane system for CO2 separation for upgradation of Biogas to Bio-Compressed Natural Gas (Bio-CNG).
Principal Investigator Dr. Bhanu Vardhan Reddy Kuncharam
Job Title: Junior Research Fellow
Project Description
- Biomass can be used to produce biogas which mostly contains CH4, but it also contains impurities such as CO2 and H2S. Bio gas can be used for direct heating, natural gas substitute, transportation fuel, or can be reformed to produce hydrogen for use in Fuel cells. However, CO2 and H2S in biogas can cause corrosion in pipes of transportation of biogas or if biogas is directly used as fuel in engines.
- The upgradation, i.e. removal of CO and H2S is required for biogas to be converted to Bio-CNG. This removal can be performed using traditional separation techniques such as absorption, adsorption or pressure swing adsorption. But these techniques are energy intensive, not portable and cannot be used under harsh biogas conditions. Membrane systems offer an alternative to these conventional systems using a membrane material capable to separate CO and H2S.
- However the challenge in membrane systems is to obtain high permeability and high selectivity for deployment in commercial settings. The proposed topic will test various membranes such as Mixed-Matrix Membranes for CO2 separation and upgrade raw biogas to Bio-CNG.
Fellowship Rs. 31,000/- per month (as per SERB and Institute guidelines)
Project Duration 2 years
Essential Qualifications M.Sc./M.Tech in Chemistry with at least 60% marks.
Desirable Qualifications Gate or UGC-NET qualification.
Application procedure:
- Interested and eligible candidates can send their current resume (C.V) and a cover letter with details about educational qualifications, research experience and other relevant details to Principal Investigator (PI) at [email protected] with the subject “Application for JRF position”.
- Only shortlisted candidates will be informed through email and called for interview to be held at Chemical Engineering department, BITS, Pilani, Pilani Campus, Rajasthan.
Notes:
1. For any queries regarding position, please feel free to email the PI.
2. Selected candidate will be encouraged to join the Ph.D. program of BITS, Pilani as per institute rules.
3. No TA/DA will be paid for attending the interview.
