SENSing PESTicides On Labelled Surfaces – Sens-PestOLS
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are a main source of toxic exposure for the population worldwide. To protect populations, fast/sensitive/handy/cheap detection tools for such chemicals is a real need for in situ assessment of POPs environmental pollution by regular monitoring of food/water resou
Integrated chain for the hydrometeorological forecasting of low flows and droughts – CIPRHES
Droughts and low-flow periods are a growing concern for water managers, with a perspective of more severe and frequent events due to climate change. One way to alleviate the consequences of water shortages is to use forecasting systems. In France, the PREMHYCE project (2012-2019) developed the proof
Molecular Imprinted polymer/GRAphene for environmental microSENSors network – MIGRASENS
The MIGRASENS ANR’s objective is to develop a new generation of water pollutants microsensors network based on the association of CVD graphene and Molecular Imprinted Polymer (MIP). By coupling the properties of the graphene in terms of conduction, robustness, electrochemical sensitivity and the MIP
Reactive Electrochemical MEMbranes Bioreactor for the valoRization of wastewater – REMemBer
Wastewater represents a massive amount of water (13 to 15 million m3 / day in France) that could be used as a potentially worthwhile resource, regardless of seasonal droughts. However, wastewater treatment plants are currently not able to achieve in a cost-effective way a sufficient water quality fo
Micro-SENSors based on metal oxide sensitive layers and Metal Organic Frameworks for AIR quality monitoring at low cost - 2020 – SensMOFAir-2020
Monitoring of indoor and outdoor air pollution has become a key point in our everyday life. In particular, the European Commission calls on Member States to implement air quality action plans, which would ensure compliance with European directive standards. According to Markets and Markets, the glob
A novel sensing method for the detection of pharmaceuticals in water – DETECMED
Micropollutants, among them pharmaceuticals, represent an alarming concern for water quality due to their toxicity, persistence, and low removal rate by conventional water treatments. The EU parliament pointed to the need for innovative solutions for treatment but also control of those emerging poll
Sustainable RECovery of vALuable metaLs in bauxite residue – RECALL
With a predicted world population of over 9 billion people in 2050, the demand for raw materials is growing fast. In this context, the European Commission has identified a number of materials and sectors facing specific challenges. Among them, access to certain raw materials (including critical meta
COherent mid-infrared RAdiometry and LIdar for atmospheric remote sensing – CORALI
The mid-infrared spectral region (2-20µm) contains the characteristic vibrational transitions of important atmospheric gases (H2O, N2O, CO2, NF3, CH4, O3…). Moreover, in this range there are two atmospheric transparency windows at 3-5µm and 8-13µm and therefore a light beam can propagate over very l
WAter vapor LIdar NEtwork ASsimilation – WaLiNeAs
Southern France is struck by ~ 7 heavy precipitation events (HPEs) per year on average during the fall (September-November). HPEs occurring in small and steep watersheds are responsible for the triggering of flash floods with a sudden and often violent onset and rapid rise of rivers, typically from
Advanced Spectral models of GAs RaDiation – ASGARD
The description of the state of the atmosphere requires tools to identify the temperature and species concentrations using optical measurements. The ASGARD project proposes to develop original, fast and accurate tools to treat radiative transfer problems in non uniform atmospheres. It involves theor
An Innovative Compact instrument for AtmospheRic HO2 monitoring – ICAR-HO2
In this proposal, we propose to develop a compact and innovative optical instrument for interference-free, in-situ, real time and direct measurement of atmospheric HO2 concentration with high sensitivity and accuracy. This spectrometer relies on an unique combination of Frequency-Stabilized Cavity R
Three-dimensional tracking of monodisperse TRAjectories by Quantitative measurements – TRAQ
The quantitative knowledge of the trajectory of discrete elements immersed in fluids is an important data that can be used in many scientific and industrial fields. In the field of Building science and technology, the challenge is both environmental and energetic. On the environmental front, the iss
WAstewaTEr puRification by solidification: Simulation by phAse Field mEthod – WATERSAFE
Ice layer crystallisation (ILC) on a cooling wall is an innovative purification process of freezing proposed to concentrate wastewater. Many works demonstrated the process feasibility but because of pollutant incorporation in ice and low ice yield, its industrial up-scaling was not done. The deadloc
