Open PhD position at the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK-CEN) – Promoter Koen Binnemans
Development of a new extraction system for selective americium separation from spent nuclear fuels Short project description Recycling americium from spent nuclear fuels is considered as an important option for a future sustainable nuclear fuel cycle. Indeed, americium is the main contributor to the long-term radiotoxicity and heat-load of the remaining waste. To reduce …
Vacancy for a PhD position at the KU Leuven, Department of Materials Engineering
Production of low-CO2 calciumsulfoferroaluminate clinker from bauxite residue Bauxite residue (BR) is the main waste of the alumina sector produced at rates of 7 million tons per year in the EU. The recycling rates are less than 100 thousand tons per year, however. In the EU-funded Horizon 2020 project ‘Industrial Residue Activation for sustainable cement …
