This scholarship is funded by the ARC Research Hub for Value-Added Processing of Underutilised Carbon Waste, which is established in 2024 with the aim for developing advance upcycling technologies and associated regulatory and social engagement for processing under-utilised carbon waste within Australia and overseas. The scholarship will support one student in developing advanced pyrolysis technologies to enhance the quality of waste tyre pyrolysis oil. The research will involve conducting experiments to investigate the formation of sulfur species during waste tyre pyrolysis and developing catalysts for tyre pyrolysis oil upgrading.
