Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-01572, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Rudra, Ramesh (University of Guelph), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Ontario, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : We plan to conduct a joint research study with Waterloo Electroplating & Metal Finishing Inc. to investigate_x000D_
the efficiency of proposed on-site filtration system to reduce chemical pollution from metal finishing effluents._x000D_
Initially, we will produce the sorbent material, i.e. biochar, from different biomass materials (agricultural and_x000D_
wood feedstocks). To select the best sorbing material, we will perform sorption test for heavy metals_x000D_
commonly found in the metal finishing effluents. Based on the performance of each type of the sorbing_x000D_
material, we will assess the removal efficiency to select the best material. Results will form the basis for the_x000D_
design of low cost filter to reduce the contamination of industrial effluents in the Canadian environment., program purpose french : We plan to conduct a joint research study with Waterloo Electroplating & Metal Finishing Inc. to investigate_x000D_
