Recent developments in process industry as well as tight environmental discharge regulations required industries to recycle water which means removing contaminants and send it back to the process. Conventional treatment systems consume energy with large carbon footprint. Canadian economic movement towards decarbonization has lead us to focus our research on the development of a material […]

Arsenic (As) is a toxic chemical that is widespread in the environment. Mining activities result in As being released from rock in waste products including mine tailings, waste rock and process effluents. AREVA has a proposed mine site that is expected to produce up to 6 million tonnes of waste rock containing elevated As concentrations. […]

Many engineering projects are undertaken on and around rivers, such as the construction of bridges and the placement of pipes under river beds. These engineering projects modify flow conditions away from those which occur naturally, inducing additional sedimentation and scour. This research will focus on a deep scour hole in the riverbed at the Alex […]

Jungbunzlauer is an important bioingredient producer for food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and chemical markets. To reduce effluent cost management, Jungbunzlauer would like to convert it into valuable products. As their effluent is free of toxic contaminants, microalgae biomass production for the aquafeed market is targeted. Microalgae cells contain essential nutrients for fish and crustacean growth such […]

Une nouvelle nanotechnologie développée par l’équipe du Professeur Richard Martel à l’Université de Montréal combinée à la technologie d’imagerie Raman de Photon etc. permet de développer une nouvelle voie de lutte contre le cancer. L’immunothérapie vise une rééducation du système immunitaire lui permettant de combattre les cellules tumorales, mais doit être personnalisée selon le système […]

Ce projet de recherche consiste à effectuer des études d’ingénierie pour permettre au SIT Maurice à développer et construire une nouvelle unité de valorisation et de recyclage des équipements de télécommunication. La remise en état des produits désuets et la récupération des métaux précieux sont les principales motivations pour ce projet. La réalisation de ce […]

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are known to have the ability to acquire large amounts of data from on-board devices such as sensors and cameras during flight. Majority of the data is typically stored on-board during a flight mission while a small amount of important data is transmitted to the Ground Control Station (GCS) over available […]

Thermal insulation is an efficient way to reduce the loss of heat and decrease the energy consumption in buildings and houses. Polyurethane rigid foams are excellent materials for this purpose. Currently, polyurethane foams are produced from petrochemical feedstock. However, fossil fuel resources are non-renewable and are being depleted. In addition, their use contributes to the […]

Aircraft piston engines are widely used for aviation in North America and still use leaded fuel. 100 octane low-lead (100LL) aviation gasoline (avgas) is the common fuel used in aviation that contains lead in the form of Tetra-ethyl Lead (TEL). The TEL additive is mainly used to modulate the aviation gasoline octane levels to avoid […]

West 5 community in London, Ontario, will pursue high penetration of electric vehicles, and is exploring an innovative marketing program of including them with the sale of each new condominium unit. The primary objective of this project is to determine an economical approach to create an acceptable infrastructure for these electric vehicles that will be […]

Sound barriers can be seen beside highways across Ontario and are designed to protect residents from the noise produced by traffic. However, these barriers do little in the way of protecting residents from the pollution produced by nearby vehicles. This project combines a novel sound barrier design with a new pollution control technology that will […]

Development of a field-ready and commercially useful fuselage and cargo bay for a long-range unmanned aerial vehicle, including analysis of use of composite materials and resulting performance implications.
