This project aims to experimentally investigate the optimal operating conditions for the reactive crystallization of compounds. A stirred-tank reactor will be set-up and the effects of mixing conditions on the resulting crystal particle size distribution will be investigated. Techniques for the online monitoring the reaction process will be explored, which will be used for model […]

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells are a key technology in the race against climate challenges, and while commercial applications are increasingly common, challenges remain in cost, performance, and durability. Most of the issues that prevent full commercialization affect the catalyst layer, the region where the power-generating electrochemical reactions take place, like the oxygen reduction reaction. This […]

Growing energy demand in buildings has driven research towards efficient techniques and sustainable sources. Double-skin façades reduce energy consumption, improve thermal comfort, and enable bioenergy generation via microalgae photobioreactors. While recent research has focused on optimizing thermal and bioenergy generation from such systems, it often neglects the impact of heat gain by the occupied space […]

The current treatment for blood clots involves administering medications that increase the risk of excessive bleeding. Surgical intervention can be used, however, complex bends in the blood vessels can make it difficult to reach the clot site. Current treatments are not always successful, particularly in hard-to-reach areas such as below the knee. Miniature robots offer […]

Comminution is the most energy intensive process in mining operations, which represents a major operating cost and contributes the carbon footprint of mining activities. In recent years, high pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) and high speed stirred mills technologies have been attractive due to their energy efficiency comparing to conventional tumbling mills (including autogenous/semi-autogenous grinding mills […]

Le projet vise à comprendre les processus de test logiciel existants chez Ludo App Inc. et de créer une méthodologie optimale qui vise à réduire les risques de bugs et de régressions introduits dans le logiciel de Ludo. L’équipe de développement de Ludo App déploie à chaque jour des nouveautés pour leurs utilisateurs et cela […]

Le projet de recherche entrepris par les stagiaires vise à développer un système automatisé capable de nettoyer, désinfecter et sécher jusqu’à 2400 paires de chaussures par semaine, quel que soit leur type ou leur matériau. Ce projet répond à un besoin crucial dans l’industrie de la seconde main : réduire le nombre de chaussures jetées […]

This project aims to explore and improve a special type of bio-based material called dialcohol nanocelluloses, which is made from cellulose. By working with experts at Université de Grenoble Alpes and using their advanced equipment, the research will help us understand how these materials are structured and how they behave. This knowledge is important because […]

Le projet vise à faire un bilan énergétique des procédés d’extraction et séchage du tanin, un biopolymère dérivé de l’écorce d’arbres, reconnu pour ses propriétés physicochimiques et son potentiel de substitution aux matériaux pétroliers. Dans le contexte des enjeux environnementaux et économiques associés à l’utilisation de ressources fossiles, le tanin émerge comme une alternative durable, […]

Lagoons are the most popular wastewater treatment technology in Canada with hundreds of installations across the country. Most of these systems will require upgrades in order to increase their treatment capacity or to comply with new regulations such as the Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations registered by the Government of Canada. Bionest is developing at the […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW.

Traffic danger is a serious consideration not only because it causes death and severe injury, but also as a barrier to independent travel by children. A key local destination that nearly all children attend are schools, which results in a concentration of children going to these places often when adults are heading out for work […]
