- The published work was initiated by the University of South Wales who designed and operated a novel biochemical system with analytical support from the other four academic partners and was successfully shown to recover copper from distillery wastewater. Electrical control (maximum power point tracking) was able to improve the efficiency of copper recovery along with improving the form and purity of the recovered copper. The work led to a funded PhD studentship by TATA Steel, Port Talbot and was an area of research supported under the 10-year £2.7 million Royal Academy of Engineering Emerging Technology Fellowship awarded to Dinsdale (CiET1819/2/86).
