Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are powering a myriad of electronic and electric devices. There are many types of LIBs used for various applications including electric vehicles, electronics, and stationary energy storage. They are mostly based on lithiumcobalt cathodic compounds. Conversely, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) is a cobalt free cathodic material that is preferred over cobalt based […]

La collecte et le tri des batteries usées dans la province de Québec sont réalisés par l’entreprise Société Laurentide. Après triage, les batteries sont envoyées pour leur transformation à l’ouest canadien ou aux États-Unis. Afin de faire leur recyclage au Québec, diminuant l’émission des gaz à effet de serre dû à leur transport, Laurentide souhaite […]

The project aims at developing prototype of a new ultrasonic based device to monitor and maintain oil-water interface position and oil layer height. Need for such a device has been identified for applications in oil-water separators commonly used in a number of processes. The ability to monitor interface position as well as liquid-layer thickness is […]

CERT has developed a technology to convert carbon dioxide into chemicals using water and renewable electricity in a system called a CO2 electrolyzer. They are scaling up this technology as part of the Carbon XPRIZE competition, a global race to find new technologies to make valuable products from CO2. CERT will take the CO2 from […]

The Ontario Dental Association requires the time of three hours between two clients in a dental office to prevent the transmission of COVID-19; however, this strict guideline poses a great challenge to the economics of dental business and the recovery of Ontario economy. The results of this study will help understand the COVID-19 transmission in […]

A sustainable pavement is one that is safe, smooth, efficient, economic, and environment friendly, meeting the needs of present-day users without comprising those of future generations. Sustainable flexible (asphalt) pavements, in particular, are those that minimize environmental impacts through the reduction of fuel and energy-based materials (asphalt cement, for example) consumption, more effective use of […]

This project enhances the impact of a basic tool for early stage design decisions such as orientation,and building envelope composition on energy performance of the building. The proposed project adds the capabilities of the basic tool to drive, not only decisions regarding the design articulation of the building envelope, but also the design of the […]

Greenfield Global is developing a process to produce jet fuel from renewable materials, such as waste biomass and organic municipal waste. The renewable materials are first converted to a synthetic oil and then converted into jet fuel. This project deals with the final step in the process, namely, to convert the synthetic oil to jet […]

Greenfield Global is currently developing a conversion process to produce jet fuel from renewable feedstocks. Collection and densification of different biomass waste materials and municipal waste at satellite facilities to produce bio-oils, which are then processed at a central facility, is expected. The first processing step at the central facility is supercritical water gasification and […]

Plant-based beverages are inappropriate alternatives to bovine milk, due to lower protein content and not sufficient amount of essential amino acids. To produce nutritionally complete plant-based beverage with high overall acceptability, the technological interventions and fortification techniques need to be developed. Oat is one of the promising raw material for preparation of functional plant-based milk […]

Boron-containing organic materials are increasingly important in high-tech applications such as sensors, optoelectronics and pharmaceuticals. We recently developed a highly reactive nickel precursor that was able to activate a variety of substrates and showed a strong predilection for unsaturated systems. The proposed research aims to test the ability of this system to activate a variety […]

This project will involve the development and validation of simulation models suitable for studying, designing and implementing a small-sized power system with reduced fuel expenditure and carbon (iv) oxide emissions, for oil and gas extraction activities. The successful implementation of the project will further Audacious Energy Corp.’s knowledge to launch and test a Minimum Viable […]
