Caros Professores,

Espero que esteja tudo bem pelo DEQ. Queria pedir-vos um favor – seria 
possível difundir a seguinte bolsa de doutoramento pela lista de 
investigadores e alunos recem-licenciados do DEQ? É uma bolsa de 
doutoramento da qual sou orientador que visa investigar a sintese de 
materiais de carbono a partir de um processo de cracking de metano e que 
está previsto comecar em Outubro deste ano.

Breve descricao do projecto em ingles:

A four-year fully funded PhD studentship for UK/EU citizens is available 
at the Leverhulme Doctoral Training Centre for Materials Social Futures 
to start in October 2019. The focus of the project is on the synthesis 
of carbon foams from zero emission fossil fuels.


Recently, it was shown that hydrogen can be produced from methane using 
molten metals, which convert methane into hydrogen and carbon with no 
production of CO2. The method consists of using a molten metal alloy 
system, in which active catalysts such as Ni, Pt or Pd are dissolved in 
low-melting temperature metals such as In, Ga, Sn or Pb. It was shown 
that methane could reach a conversion as high as 95% at 1065 °C when 
using a Ni-Bi alloy, producing pure hydrogen and carbon. The produced 
carbon is insoluble in the liquid metal alloy and floats to the surface, 
making it easier to separate. This is an extremely exciting prospect, as 
it would allow the production of hydrogen from fossil fuels with no 
carbon dioxide emissions. To close the loop, the generated solid carbon 
could be used as a precursor to value-added commodities or materials, 
and could displace carbon emissions resulting from those. This PhD 
project will investigate the production of hydrogen using molten 
catalyst methods, focussing on the possible uses of the generated solid 
carbon, particularly the synthesis of carbon foams. Carbon foams are 
carbon materials with macropores connected in an open cell structure, 
usually synthesised from precursor resins or from templated 
carbonisation of carbon precursors.”

Os interessados apenas tem que enviar o CV para os orientadores do 
projecto até ao próximo dia 5 de Julho (esta Sexta-feira).
