We plan to conduct a joint research study with Waterloo Electroplating & Metal Finishing Inc. to investigatex000D
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 andx000D
wood feedstocks). To select the best sorbing material, we will perform sorption test for heavy metalsx000D
commonly found in the metal finishing effluents. Based on the performance of each type of the sorbingx000D
material, we will assess the removal efficiency to select the best material. Results will form the basis for thex000D
design of low cost filter to reduce the contamination of industrial effluents in the Canadian environment.
