We are now looking for students to work on an interesting project during this summer: Nitric Acid Process Catalysts Yara utilize several catalysts in the production of nitric acid. The aim of the internship project to perform a test program of several potential catalysts in the nitric acid process and make an evaluation of their potentials and limitations. Responsibilities The tasks will include, but are not limited to:

• Activity measurements of catalyst samples at different process conditions
• Characterization of the catalyst materials
• Analyses and interpretation of the characterization result
• Reporting and presentation of the results in English

Profile

• The student should be in at least their 3rd year, ideally coming into the last year of study after the summer internship.
• The student should have a chemical or materials science background. Knowledge of catalysts or materials characterisation will be an advantage.
• Good practical laboratory skills
• Prepared to work independently – with focus on HSE
• Fluent in English and/ or Norwegian

Additional Information The project will last for 6-8 weeks from June to August 2027 Location Porsgrunn, Norway.
