Advanced nanomaterials for the photocatalytic PFAS removal in wastewater

The proposed project, “Advanced Nanomaterials for Photocatalytic PFAS Removal in Wastewater”, is a collaborative initiative between Canada and Vietnam aiming at tackling PFAS contamination in water. PFAS, which are toxic chemicals found in industrial effluents, firefighting foams, and consumer products, are persistent in the environment and pose significant health risks. The project will develop advanced nanomaterials by which PFAS can be efficiently removed from wastewater using innovative photocatalytic processes. Key synthesis techniques, such as liquid-assisted resonant acoustic mixing (LA-RAM) and anodization-hydrothermal methods, will be used to create effective photocatalysts for PFAS degradation, both of which will be synthesized in Canada.
The project aims to improve wastewater treatment processes, reduce PFAS concentrations, and mitigate their harmful effects on human health and the environment. It will also benefit participating institutions by enhancing scientific expertise in nanomaterials and photocatalysis, fostering knowledge exchange, and providing capacity-building opportunities. Additionally, it will strengthen international research partnerships and contribute to policy development for managing PFAS contamination. By promoting cleaner water resources and advancing environmental sustainability, the project seeks to create lasting positive impacts for communities in Canada and Vietnam, while contributing to global efforts to address PFAS as one of the most persistent pollutants of modern society.

Application of Effective Methods for Assessment and Remediation of Eutrophication in Surface Water Reservoirs in Tropical and Temperate Climates

The main objective of the project by both interns (with tasks defined for each in the timelines) is aimed at the field of building sustainable water resiliency, adaptation and management with the following specific sub-objectives:
• To evaluate monitoring technologies of eutrophication on water reservoirs.
• To evaluate technologies for prevention and remediation of eutrophication in inland waters.
With the above main objectives, the project aims to answer the following two important research hypotheses: (1) Aquatic biome structure can become the mainstream tools to assess the eutrophication level, thereby evaluating the effectiveness of eutrophication control techniques in lakes and reservoirs. (2) Membrane filtration techniques and some auxiliary solutions (i.e., sediment resuspension) can help remediate the eutrophication in tropical lakes and reservoirs, which are expected to receive increasing loads of external nutrient pollutants and difficult-to-control sediment over the time. This remediation methodology may be tested for nutrient-rich wastewater and ultimately contribute a useful solution in water security and carbon emission reduction.

Analyse des tendances dans le financement destechnologies propres

Le secteur des technologies propres est en effervescence depuis près d’une décennie. Ces innovations, la plupart du temps trop risquées pour avoir accès à du financement standard, sont généralement financées par des firmes de capital de risque. Ces nouvelles technologies qui visent, par exemple, l’utilisation efficiente des ressources, constituent des opportunités d’investissement à potentiel de rendement extraordinaire, caractéristique recherchée par les firmes de capital de risque. En 2008, suite à une croissance abrupte, le financement accordé aux technologies propres a atteint des sommets, soit plus de 4.5B$. Par la suite, l’enveloppe totale accordée aux cleantech n’a pas, jusqu’à tout récemment, cessé de diminuer. Plusieurs analystes ont tenté de soulever des causes possibles de la tendance à la baisse du financement et formulé des dizaines d’hypothèses, en plus de noter des tendances collatérales, sans jamais aller au fond des choses. L’objectif de ce mémoire est de déterminer les causes exactes et leur apport à la tendance énoncée, les conséquences et de formuler des recommandations sur les actions à prendre. Cycle Capital, entreprise partenaire, pourra, grâce aux conclusions, revoir certaines façons de procéder et également de faire rayonner les recommandations auprès des entités contribuant au capital à investir.

Application of Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) on treating polluted water for aquaculture farms in Mekong Delta region.

The aquaculture industry at the Mekong Delta plays a major role in the Vietnam’s export economy since it serves as a key supplier of seafood to global markets. However, the water quality in fish and shrimp ponds in the region often contains high concentrations of contaminants, which negatively impact product quality by affecting the health and appearance of the animals, thereby reducing their export value. Therefore, the project aims to assess the potential application of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are porous materials capable of selectively trapping and removing contaminants from water or air, for treating polluted water from aquaculture farms in the Mekong Delta. MOFs will be specifically designed, synthesized and tested for the polluted water of aquaculture farms in the region. This will not only improve the quality and safety of the seafood being produced and exported, but also improve the sustainability of the entire process and ensure that the aquaculture production in Mekong Delta remains one of Vietnam’s top economic exports. The project will also benefit the collaborating research groups from Canada’s Concordia University and Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology by promoting the exchange of technology and methodologies to support their current work in sustainability.

Sex differences and body morphology on thermal discomfort thresholds during rest and exercise

Thermal comfort can be broadly defined as a scenario where an individual expresses satisfaction with their thermal environment. However, our thermal environment is rarely constant, and these changes in our thermal environment can negatively affect our thermal comfort. Additionally, a certain thermal environment can be comfortable for one person but uncomfortable for another, because our size, sex, previous experiences, fitness, and preferences all vary. Therefore, it is important to understand how human traits (particularly our sex and body measurements) affect our thermal perception. Recently, a new tool has been developed that allows individuals to continuously monitor thermal perception. Therefore, this research proposes to utilize this tool to track when and what thermal conditions are associated with thermal discomfort. By better understanding when thermal discomfort occurs, and the thermal conditions responsible for this discomfort, will be valuable to the development of new clothing technologies to improve thermal comfort.

Etiology, prevention and rehabilitation of shoulder injuries in elite swimmers and waterpolo players: a longitudinal study

Chronic shoulder injuries are common in athletes competing in overhead sports such as waterpolo, swimming and synchronized swimming. These injuries are costly both financially and in terms of performance to the athletes and sport organizations. The purpose of this project is to create new sport-specific clinical and functional assessment protocols and to improve training strategies for shoulder injury prevention and elite sport performance. This will hopefully improve on the current medical and performance services offered to the athletes by the INS Québec and/or OTP, specifically but not limited to injuries or performance issues related to the shoulder. The partner organization could eventually use many of the tools and services developed through this project with other sports and in other settings. The ultimate goal of the project is to help our Canadian athletes win medals through improved performance and reduced injuries. Communication and education to the developmental groups will be facilitated in order to prevent injuries in younger athletes, better preparing them for a long and successful career.
