In agricultural watersheds, many meandering rivers were straightened and several rectilinear ditches were added to the drainage network in order to evacuate water as quickly as possible in the spring to improve farm productivity. The design of these modified channels was not based on natural river dynamic concepts, which include both discharge capacity and sediment […]

Le contrôle de qualité de comprimés pharmaceutiques implique habituellement des analyses requérant une préparation laborieuse des échantillons, ce qui occasionne des coûts élevés et des délais considérables. À ce jour, peu de technologies permettent une analyse rapide et/ou en ligne d’ingrédients actifs à de très faible concentration massique (sous 1% massique). L’objectif général de ce […]

Global population growth, urbanization and changing climate patterns have increased the demand for potable water, wastewater reuse and value recovery from wastewater, and treatment of industrial process water. Population growth also results in increased demand for the shipping of goods by ocean freight, with the associated risk of the transport of unwanted marine life from […]

The production rate of petcoke is growing rapidly because of continuous increase in the volume of heavy crudes. This poses a long-term challenge to the upgrading and refining plants to find an economical petcoke utilization approach and reduce their waste products and also environmental impacts. In addition to its profitability feature, this technology should ideally […]

Because of the toxicity of selenium, its removal from waste water is a crucial treatment before discharging. Selenate (Se(VI)) and selenite (Se(IV)) are the most common species of Se in waste waters. There are many efficient methods for removal of selenite from wastewaters (e.g., ferrihydrite chemical co-precipitation, cementation, or adsorption) while the removal of selenate […]

The research project I will be working on at Tianjin University is called the “in situ synthesis and characterization of cellulose Ag/AgCl composite photocatalyst.” During this project, we will be working with lignocellulosic-based composites, which have many applications in biology, medicine, dirt degradation, and wastewater treatment. A composite is defined as a material made of […]

More and more attention is being paid to the sequestration of CO2. The proposed methods for CO2 sequestration include geological sequestration, ocean sequestration, mineral sequestration, and so on. Among them, saline aquifers in geological sequestration can store the largest amount of CO2, and is the most promising method. At present, the study of CO2 sequestration […]

Organocatalysis is a method used where the rate of reaction is increased by an organic catalyst, referred to an an organocatalyst. The use of an organic compound eliminates the need to use a metal catalyst, deeming the project as “green”. The absence of the metal catalyst means there is no need for the expensive recovery […]

DMF is a toxic organic compound used in various industrial processes. It has been linked to causing cancer and assorted birth defects, and therefore is a dangerous compound to have in wastewater. The process of nitrosation is simply the conversion an organic molecule into a nitroso derivative, essentially a molecule with a nitrogenoxygen functional group. […]

HVdc is the preferred approach for transmission of bulk power into existing AC network from point to point and from remote generation resources because of technical advantages, including low transmission losses. Integration of HVdc grid with existing AC grid provides considerable economic benefits while throwing up challenges for effective control of both the grids at […]

This project aims toward development of a polymeric delivery system for controlled release of cannabinoids, with application in treatment of patients suffering from glaucoma. InMed Pharmaceuticals is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that specializes in developing cannabis based therapies with innovative drug delivery systems. So far, two candidates were introduced: CTI-085 is a topical formulation […]

The Project builds on existing research to advance the design of a novel, cargo carrying UAV for commercial and humanitarian purposes. The project will apply adaptable winglet, fuselage aerodynamics, and aircraft controller research to tailless, flex-wing ultralight aircraft with 2-axis control. Such an aircraft will have many advantages over conventional fixed wing aircraft, including mission […]
