Les réseaux de pompage sont essentiels pour la distribution d’eau, mais ils subissent des problèmes comme cavitation, fuites et obstructions, entraînant des coûts élevés et une baisse d’efficacité. La cavitation, causée par la formation et l’implosion de bulles de vapeur, endommage les pompes et réduit leur rendement. Les méthodes traditionnelles de détection, basées sur des […]

This study will investigate the potential to use mineral chemistry to develop vectors around poorly understood Au and Cu mineralization in Nevada. We will combine traditional mapping methods with state-of-theartmineral chemistry techniques to assess the alteration halo around a complex array of mineralized systems. The research will be completed by a master’s students, who will […]

Nouveau Monde Graphite (NMG) a mis sur pied un projet visant l’exploitation et la transformation du graphite au site minier du projet Matawinie à Saint-Michel-des-Saints. NMG cherche à incorporer la phytoremédiation à son plan de réhabilitation minier. Il s’agit d’une technique permettant de stabiliser les métaux dans le sol à l’aide d’un couvert végétal. Ceci […]

This project aims to develop an innovative method to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of inspecting aerospace parts, such as aero-engine blades. These components often have intricate shapes, making precise inspection a significant challenge. To overcome this, the project combines data from two measurement systems: one that captures detailed 3D scans and another that provides […]

Providing three-dimensional (3D) coordinates and more importantly drone navigation in GPS-denied environments has been always challenging. Limiting factors such as signal reflection from walls (multipath), lack of Global Positioning System (GPS) signals in confined spaces and non-line of sight (NLoS) communication with orbiting satellites, build a barrier to navigate indoor drones. In this work, we […]

Faulting might be affecting the flow of injected CO2 into the subsurface at the Aquistore Carbon Capture and Storage facility in southeastern Saskatchewan. 3D seismic data indicate that faulting affects the Deadwood Sandstone injection target approximately 100 m to the west of the injection well. The seismic data cannot however image all the structural complexity […]

This project explores the use of wetting agents containing thiocarbonyl functional groups to enhance copper extraction from metal sulfides. By investigating reaction mechanisms, optimizing reagent concentrations, and refining leaching conditions, the research aims to improve copper recovery while minimizing environmental impact. The study will assess the catalytic behavior and reaction kinetics of these agents in […]

The project focuses on screening and testing state-of-art Enhanced Oil Recovery techniques. It is carried out through both experiment study in core scale and simulation research in field scale. The new knowledge that will be accrued will be the culmination of a truly collaborative approach. First and foremost, Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador will gain […]

Development of oil and natural gas production in Atlantic Canada has mainly occurred in the offshore of Newfoundland, Labrador, and Nova Scotia. Energy Nova Scotia has estimated reservoir potential for Nova Scotia has been as high as 120 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 8 billion barrels of oil. These reserves occur along the […]

Scandium (Sc) is an attractive alloying element that has strong affinity with oxygen (serving as deoxidiser) as well as a strong affinity with aluminum for the development of Al3Sc precipitates that can strengthen materials. Currently, the availability and cost of Sc is preventing its wide utilisation as alloying element. The recent announce by RTIT of […]

This project will create a new framework that combines process simulations with environmental, economic, and social life cycle assessments to evaluate the sustainability of metal production and recycling processes. By extending current methods beyond environmental analysis to also include costs and social impacts, the project will provide a more complete understanding of how new metallurgical […]
