Jennifer Nkemjika Enemmoh

Profile

My academic journey began with a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Chemical and Process Engineering from Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Nigeria (2011), where I ignited the  passion for sustainable engineering solutions. I further solidified my expertise with a Master of Science (MSc) in Engineering Management from the University of Greenwich (2016), gaining in-depth knowledge of lean manufacturing, operations management in the Industries .

Currently a PhD candidate at the University of Leeds, at the forefront of research focused on combined ion-exchange and co-precipitation techniques for the efficient and cost-effective removal of toxic heavy metals such as lead and copper from water. My work involves developing dual-functional ion exchange materials specifically designed to tackle one of today’s most critical environmental issues, clean water scarcity. My research not only advances the fundamental science of water treatment materials but also delves into the vital chemical engineering principles of solid and liquid waste separation, sedimentation, and downstream dewatering. The innovative coagulants to enhance water purification processes bolster environmental sustainability, and effectively address challenges facing the water industry.

 

 

Research interests

My research interest is advancing sustainable water and wastewater treatment, effective environmental remediation and its process intensification, with a strong focus on innovative methods for managing water, wasterwater and nuclear waste.The combined application of ion exchange and co-precipitation processes is a key area of interest for me, as these techniques present immense potential for revolutionising contaminant removal in both aqueous systems and radioactive waste streams.

In the realm of water and wastewater treatment, my reasearch investigates and develops novel materials and hybrid processes that integrate ion exchange with co-precipitation for the targeted removal of heavy metals, radionuclides, and other persistent contaminants. The core of my research is the principle of process intensification, the urgent need to create more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable treatment processes.
