Loughborough University is a top-ten rated university in England for research intensity (REF2014) and an outstanding 66% of the work of Loughborough's academic staff who were eligible to be submitted to the REF was judged as ‘world-leading' or ‘internationally excellent', compared to a national average figure of 43%. In choosing Loughborough for your research, you'll work alongside academics who are leaders in their field. You will benefit from comprehensive support and guidance from our Doctoral College, including tailored careers advice, to help you succeed in your research and future career. Through the use of continuous, low-intensity, sub-cavitational acoustic fields, this project aims to transform processes across a wide range of industries where crystallisation is a key production, purification or separation stage including the substantial economic sectors of pharma, food and polymer processing. The project will also address processes where there is the potential to enhance mass-transfer through the use of acoustic fields, for example bubble column reactors. Although high-intensity acoustic fields have been adopted in sono-chemistry and sono-crystallisation, the use of fields at much lower energy levels has recently been patented as a method of crystal nucleation control. However, the mechanisms for the effects that have been observed experimentally are very poorly understood, and much work is required to build understanding of the phenomena of heat and mass transfer that drive the effect in order to ensure the technology can deliver the impact that it has the potential to achieve. It is believed that similar mass transfer processes may also be enhanced by low intensity acoustic fields in processes involving bubbles and this has yet to be explored.
