Recent Research Projects
Enhancing dewatering, drying, combustion and utilization of pulp and paper mill biosludge
2017/18-2019/20 • $564,600 • PI,CO
Canadian pulp and paper mills generate more than 20 million cubic metres of raw biosludge per year. Biosludge is generated during biological wastewater treatment and consists to >98% of water with the remainder being bacteria and tree residues. Energy intensive dewatering can decrease the water...
FUNDAMENTAL STUDIES OF SAFETY ISSUES IN SMELT DISSOLVING TANK OPERATION IN KRAFT PULP MILLS
2014/15-2018/19 • $145,000 • PI
The kraft process is the predominant method for making wood pulp. For a typical kraft mill in Canada, the process generates as much as 12,000 tonnes/day of dilute black liquor that contains water, dissolved wood components and spent pulping chemicals. This massive “waste” stream must be...
Upgrading of light pyrolysis products to value-added chemicals and liquid fuels at atmospheric conditions
2014/15-2016/17 • $165,000 • PI,CO
No summary
Reimbursement of parental leave supplement for Isabel Sofia Binilla Tobar for the period of September 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015.
2016/17 • $8,500 • PI

Fundamental studies of drying, combustion and ash properties of biomass and impacts of pulp and paper mill operations
2012/13-2015/16 • $1,876,000 • PI,CO
Pulp and paper mills in Canada require large amounts of high pressure steam and electric power to operate. About two-thirds of the energy required is supplied by burning the concentrated black liquor (spent pulping liquor) in recovery boilers. The remaining is from biomass boilers, known...
A versatile, multifunctional system for full characterizations of reaction intermediates and pathways for sustainable synthesis of smart materials and value-added chemicals
2015/16 • $141,128 • PI,CO
<p>The versatile, multifunctional system for capturing reaction intermediates will support multiple existing and emerging research programs in the area of smart material discovery and applications, heterogeneous catalysis for fuel and chemical synthesis, next generation technology for bio-fuel...
Expanding the ability to anaerobically digest pulp and paper mill waste
2012/13-2014/15 • $489,400 • PI,CO
In order for the Canadian pulp and paper industry to stay globally competitive and leave a smaller environmental footprint, its extensive water usage requires optimization. Anaerobic digestion is a cost-effective wastewater treatment option, decreasing the amount of residual sludge while...
Burning mixed fuels in biomass boilers in pulp and paper mills
2010/11-2013/14 • $92,000 • PI
High energy costs, high mill sludge disposal costs and more stringent environmental regulations in recent years have forced many pulp and paper mills to burn, or consider burning sludges, agricultural residues, shredded tires, construction waste, petroleum coke in their biomass boilers to...
Innovative thermal energy storage system for use in automobiles
2010/11-2012/13 • $234,000 • PI,CO
Increased fuel economy leads to more energy management in automotive design. With less energy conversion the passenger comfort heat demand will require waste energy storage and reuse. This would contribute to reduced start up emissions and shorter time period of increased fuel consumption of a...
A versatile differential calorimetry system for evaluation of phase transition and fluid-solid interfacial thermodynamics in nano-structured solids, surfactants, and polymers
2012/13 • $147,876 • PI,CO
A high precision and flow through differential scanning calorimeter is requested in this proposal. This instrument will probe the heats associated with phase transition of materials and with the interaction of gas phase species on solid surfaces over a wide pressure and temperature range under...
