Position: Summer Intern – Filtration of Pollutants in Porous Concrete

Location: Saint-Quentin-Fallavier (30 km east of Lyon, France)

About the company
Lafarge Research Center is the World’s leading research facility in building materials: it brings together 250 researchers from a dozen different nationalities organised around competency groups. These researchers work on understanding the physical and chemical mechanisms governing the behavior of the Group’s materials and the development of new technologies to meet major construction challenges.

Internship description
Increasing urbanization and soil sealing contribute strongly to degrade water quality in urban areas, including stormwater. The water comes from precipitation that runs off impermeable surfaces such as roofs, parking lots and roads, and load of pollutants accumulated on surfaces they leach. Control runoff and treatment represent a major challenge. To reduce this pollution runoff by capturing rainwater at its source, the Lafarge Research Center (LCR) located 30 km from Lyon has developed a new pervious concrete with HydromediaTM called for applications under roads and parking. HydromediaTM in addition to its ability to prevent runoff during rainy events has sufficient strength to withstand the passage of light vehicles. According to several authors (Ranchet et al., 1993, Horst et al., 2008 …) and life tests performed on a parking NHI pavements made of porous concrete would retain effective some pollutants, such as heavy metals and hydrocarbons. However, the mechanisms behind this water filtration are not always clearly explained in the literature. It is therefore important to understand these physical and/or chemical properties to better understand (to get a clear idea of) the filtration capacity of concrete drainage HydromediaTM.

Thus, the summer intern will be studying bibliographic data on issues of filtration. The experimental part will focus on the implementation of measures adsorption of pollutants in aqueous phase, followed by analysis of species in solution after leaching HydromediaTM.

Requirements
Years: Juniors, Graduate Students
Majors: Chemical and Biological Engineering

A well-qualified candidate would be: interested by physical chemistry or organic chemistry.

The Ruhr Fellowship Program is being organized by the Initiativkreis Ruhr and the universities of the Ruhr Academic Triangle.

The Initiativkreis Ruhr (http://www.i-r.de/) represents more than 70 of the most important and influential companies in the area, such as E.ON, RWE, Siemens, Evonik Industries, ThyssenKrupp and Deutsche Telekom. Together these companies employ around 2.25 million people worldwide and generate sales of about 630 billion euros, and their executives make up the Initiativkreis Ruhr as personal members. With future-oriented strategies and real-world concepts, the Initiativkreis relies on the creative strength of its cluster of economic know-how. This cooperative effort yields highly renowned projects for the development of the Ruhr metropolitan area and the industry as a whole.

Germany’s Academic Triangle (http://www.con-ruhr.org/) is a consortium of 3 Universities – TU Dortmund University, Ruhr University Bochum and the University of Duisburg-Essen – all located within 20 minutes of one another, along the Ruhr River. This is Germany’s largest Academic hub and home to 4 Fraunhofer Institutes, 3 Max-Planck Institutes and 18 Collaborative Research Centers selected for funding through the highly competitive DFG (German Research Society) process. The alliance of the three universities brings together over 100,000 students and over 6,000 researchers and professors to create a unique interdisciplinary approach and cutting edge research opportunities.

Your profile
You are currently enrolled in your sophomore or junior year in an engineering, science or business degree program at Princeton University. You enjoy challenges and problem-solving, and you can easily adapt in an intercultural environment. You are interested in getting to know the Ruhr Area culture as well as expanding your personal global network and considering working later in a global environment. German language skills are not necessary; however previous experience in Germany or with the German language can be advantageous.

Your Ruhr Fellowship scholarship would include (June 1 – July 31, 2012):

-Flight stipend (worth 600 EUR, i.e. ~ 785 USD)
-German Language and Culture Seminar Program at the host universities (including excursions) in June

The Ruhr Area
The Ruhr Area is a dynamic and exciting place to be. With around 6 million people, it is one of Europe’s most important metropolitan areas which also featured the European Capital of Culture in 2010. At the same time, half of the space is green – a landscape of forests, parks, fields and beer gardens. Whereas the traditional coal and steel mills have been transformed into creative spaces and cultural hotspots, the area has retained its soccer culture as well as tradition. When you come to the Ruhr Area, you will recognize immediately that you are not in a typical study abroad location. It is an untrodden territory you can discover for yourself, making new contacts in a remarkably welcoming and unique environment.

With your German student ID you will receive discounts at the campus cafeterias and for many cultural events. This is also literally your ticket to the entire state: Your ID gives you free access to the subways, buses and regional trains in the entire state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the most densely populated area in Germany, stretching from Muenster in the North through the Ruhr Area to Dusseldorf, Cologne and Aachen in the south. So you will have plenty of opportunities to get to know this diverse area on a budget.

How to apply
Please apply on the Keller Center website and include the following:

1. Personal statement (cover letter)
2. Resume
