Research Engineer (Vanadium Extraction & Process Development)
This job is in your area. Enjoy a short commute and work close to home.
Job Description
We are looking for a Research Engineer to work on vanadium redox flow battery related materials development, with a primary focus on extracting vanadium from petroleum coke (petcoke) and scaling the process from lab to pilot scale. This role combines hands-on experimental work with process design and scale-up, and will play a key role in establishing a pilot line for vanadium recovery.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop and optimize processes for extracting vanadium from petcoke and petcoke cinder using hydrometallurgical routes such as leaching, purification, and precipitation.
Conduct laboratory-scale experiments to study extraction efficiency, impurity removal, yield, and reproducibility.
Convert laboratory processes into pilot-scale flowsheets, including mass and energy balance calculations.
Design, set up, and operate pilot-scale equipment for vanadium extraction and powder production.
