Catalyst upgrade and developing industrially scalable formulation

FY 2021-22 · 2021-07-01

Summary
This project aims to optimize and upgrade the formulation of catalysts for carbon formation. The current formulation recipe had drawbacks of slow production, high wastewater content, and fast degradation and the need for homogenization. This project targets to re-evaluate the formulation, steps of preparation, optimize the concentration and the size of each batch with a goal to make the production industrially scalable. The catalyst will be evaluated in the production of CNF and the results will be used to optimize the formulation and method of production.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à optimiser et à améliorer la formulation des catalyseurs pour la formation de carbone. La recette de formulation actuelle présente les inconvénients d'une production lente, d'une teneur élevée en eaux usées, d'une dégradation rapide et de la nécessité d'une homogénéisation. Ce projet vise à réévaluer la formulation, les étapes de préparation, à optimiser la concentration et la taille de chaque lot dans le but de rendre la production industriellement évolutive. Le catalyseur sera évalué dans la production de NFC et les résultats seront utilisés pour optimiser la formulation et la méthode de production.
