Project Description:
Gas hydrates occur abundantly in ocean sediments and permafrost regions. Methane hydrate represents a potential source of clean energy, while formation of carbon dioxide hydrate can be utilised as an alternative carbon sequestration technology and an alternative water desalination process. The fundamentals of the processes associated with gas hydrate formation and dissociation remain unclear, posing an impediment to technology development for methane extraction and hydrate utilisation. This project employs state-of-the-art surface analytical tools to explore the mechanism of gas hydrate formation and dissociation. The results will improve understanding of the sub-processes of hydrate formation and decomposition on a molecular level and, on the basis of which, help develop an advanced kinetic model of gas hydrate formation. This is a project in collaboration with Center for Advanced Separation Technology, Virginia Tech, USA. This three-year project will start in early 2010.

Academic Supervisors:
Dr Liguang Wang and Prof Anh V. Nguyen

Funding Source: Australian Research Council - Discovery Project Scheme.

Financial Support for Your PhD Study:
Living allowance scholarship for three years: $26,669 (tax-free) per annum.
Tuition fee: If you are an international student, you will be automatically considered as an applicant for a tuition fee scholarship when you lodge your PhD study application to UQ. However, the tuition scholarships are awarded to top-quality candidates who often have research master’s degree and publications on high-quality journals.
