[Stage] Étude multi-échelle de la pyrolyse des CSR : caractérisation des matières, influence du temps de séjour et optimisation catalytique à Étude multi-échelle de la pyrolyse des CSR : caractérisation des matières, influence du temps de séjour et optimisation catalytique

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 17:53:05 +0100

Matière à valoriser : Combustibles Solides de Récupération

Réacteurs utilisés : réacteur fermé (batch) vs. Réacteur à lit fluidisé

Etablissement : INSA Rouen France

Gratification : environ 640€ par mois

Durée : 5.5 mois

1) Contexte & objectifs

- Les CSR montrent une forte variabilité (plastiques, papiers/cartons, textiles, fraction fine, etc.) et un enjeu majeur de déchloration/qualité des produits.

- Comparer la pyrolyse en réacteur fermé et lit fluidisé éclaire l’effet du temps de séjour des vapeurs et de la température sur rendements, composition des gaz/huiles, et qualité du biochar.

- Des zéolithes (ex. HZSM-5 modifiée) sont pertinentes pour aromatisation/déchloration des huiles issues de CSR ¹.

Objectifs spécifiques

Recherche biblio : Cartographier la composition de CSR et leurs produits de pyrolyse (huiles/gaz/char)².
Caractérisation multi-techniques (ATG (proximate–ultimate), bombe calorimétrique, DRX, FTIR, SEM-EDS, porosité BET…).
Travail expérimental : Expérimenter en réacteur fermé et en lit fluidisé : prétraitements (dont déchloration), effets T et temps de séjour des vapeurs (VRT), et étude catalytique sur zéolithe modifiée.

2) Programme de travail

2.1. Recherche bibliographique (sem. 1–3)

CSR/SRF : définitions & classes (EN 15359), variabilité, contaminants (Cl, métaux) ; filières d’usage.
Prétraitements/déchloration (lavage, Ca(OH)₂, traitements thermiques) & catalyse zéolithique (HZSM-5, versions nano/hiérarchiques, dopages).
Produits de pyrolyse de CSR (techniques utilsiées (GC-MS,..), familles chimiques majeures, gaz légers, qualité des chars).
Réacteurs : identifier les réacteurs les plus utilisés pour le traitement de CSR
Conditions opératoires : Etudier l’effet du temps de séjour des vapeurs et la température du réacteur sur la distribution produite.

2.2. Caractérisation des échantillons (sem. 2–6)

Échantillons et analyses :

- ATG/DTG (N₂) 25-800 °C, 5°C/min → profils de dévolatilisation, paramètres cinétiques

- Proximate/ultimate (cendres, volatils, C-H-N-S-Cl), analyse des chlore & soluble.

- Morphologie/porosité : BET, SEM-EDS (impuretés, Cl-rich domains), DRX (carbonates/halogénures), FTIR.

2.3. Étude expérimentale (sem. 5–16)

Prétraitements (en fonction de la partie biblio)

1. Déchloration en amont (prétraitement du CSR)

- Lavage à l’eau ou eau alcaline (Ca(OH)₂, NaOH, NaHCO₃) : permet d’extraire une grande partie du chlore soluble (NaCl, KCl) avant pyrolyse → moins de chlore passe dans l’huile/charbon.

- Traitement thermique doux (200–300 °C) : volatilisation partielle du HCl lié au PVC avant pyrolyse principale.

Ces techniques ne déchlorent pas directement l’huile, mais réduisent fortement sa teneur en Cl à la source (Pour plus d’information, voir article Chen et al. (2022)³.

2. Déchloration in situ pendant pyrolyse

- Ajout de sorbants basiques (CaO, Ca(OH)₂, MgO, dolomie) dans le lit : fixation du chlore sous forme de CaCl₂/MgCl₂ solides, donc moins de chlore volatil vers l’huile.

- Vaporisation de l’HCl par une torrefaction (entre 200-300°C)

- Utiliser des catalyseurs zéolithiques (HZSM-5, dopée Ni/Zn) : favorisent la formation d’aromatiques légers, tout en réduisant la fraction chlorée dans les goudrons/huiles (pour plus d’information, voir article de Cueto et al.(2023)¹.

Travail expérimental

- Réacteur fermé (batch) :masse utilisée de l’ordre de 1-2g, débit d’azote environ 200mL/min, et température entre 450–650 °C

- Lit fluidisé (sable, Zéolithes, CaO, MgO...., 0.2–0.5 mm) : 1-2g/min, température entre 450–650 °C.

Tous ces paramètres sont à ajuster en fonction de la littérature (partie 1).

Analyses des produits

Gaz : micro-GC / GC-TCD-FID ; éventuellement FTIR (par sac d’échantillonnage).

Huiles : GC-MS + GC-FID (familles chimiques)....

Biochar : BET, SEM-EDS, DRX, FTIR, suivi Cl et métaux.

[Stage] Modélisation avancée du transfert gaz-liquide dans les procédés de biofiltration des eaux usées à INRAE

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 17:53:05 +0100

Contexte

La biofiltration est largement utilisée dans les stations d’épuration de grandes agglomérations. Sa compacité et ses excellentes performances de traitement en font une solution privilégiée pour répondre aux exigences croissantes de qualité de rejet, dans un contexte de limitation des surfaces disponibles.

Cependant, ces procédés présentent deux défis majeurs : une consommation énergétique élevée liée à l’aération et des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, notamment de protoxyde d’azote (N₂O), qui contribuent significativement à leur empreinte carbone.

Le transfert gaz-liquide joue un rôle central dans ces phénomènes : il conditionne à la fois les performances environnementales et les coûts d’exploitation liés à l’énergie. Une meilleure compréhension et modélisation de ces mécanismes sont donc essentielles pour optimiser le fonctionnement et la durabilité des procédés de biofiltration.

Mené conjointement par INRAE-PROSE et la Direction Innovation du SIAAP, ce stage s’inscrit dans le cadre du programme Mocopée, dont l’un des axes vise à améliorer la modélisation et le contrôle des procédés d’épuration.

Le travail portera sur l’amélioration de la représentation du transfert gaz-liquide dans les modèles de biofiltration à grande échelle, en s’appuyant sur des données opérationnelles.

Objectifs et démarche

Des corrélations issues d’expériences réalisées à l’échelle pilote permettent de relier la rétention gazeuse (correspondant au volume de gaz retenu au sein du procédé) à l’encrassement du lit filtrant et aux vitesses de gaz et de liquide injectés dans le procédé. Elles intègrent pour la première fois l’influence de l’encrassement du lit filtrant sur la dispersion du gaz, un aspect jusqu’alors négligé dans la modélisation des procédés de biofiltration.

L’objectif du stage est d’évaluer leur validité à l’échelle industrielle en les intégrant dans le modèle mécanistique de biofiltration SimBioN₂O (Fiat et al., 2019), et d’analyser leur impact sur la représentation du transfert gaz-liquide et la prédiction des performances de traitement et des émissions gazeuses.

Les principales étapes sont :

- Prise en main du modèle SimBioN₂O : compréhension de sa structure (codé sous Simulink–Matlab), des corrélations existantes décrivant le transfert gaz-liquide et des jeux de données expérimentales disponibles.

- Sélection des périodes de calibration et d’évaluation du modèle : identification de séquences présentant des variations marquées de charge polluante, pertes de charge et débit d’air.

- Simulations comparatives :

- établissement d’une cnfiguration de référence avec le modèle actuel ;

- intégratin des crrélations enrichies, calibratin minimale du cefficient de transfert volumique (k_La) et simulatin des mêmes périodes.

- Analyse et ajustement des paramètres :

- comparaison quantitative des prédictions des concentrations de polluants (NH₄⁺, NO₂⁻, NO₃⁻);

- identification des conditions où les écarts sont les plus marqués ;

- analyse de sensibilité et calibration finale des paramètres associés aux nouvelles corrélations.

- Rédaction d’un rapport et présentation régulière lors de réunions hebdomadaires avec l’équipe d’encadrement INRAE-SIAAP.

[Contrat doctoral] Modelling the impact of rock fractures, alteration, and mineral composition on rock properties in deep geothermal context à Université de Lyon / ENTPE

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 17:53:05 +0200

Context:

The propose study addresses socio-economic and environmental challenges of using soil and subsoil resources, particularly in the context of the energy transition. Nowadays, a key focus is on deep geothermal energy, which relies on the ability of underground rock formations to store and transmit thermal fluids effectively. High-enthalpy geothermal systems depend on the quality of reservoir rocks, which is governed by, for instance, their porosity, fracture structure, permeability, and fluid circulation. All of which are influenced by the rock structure and mineral composition, as well as its possible evolution. This is particularly the case for rock-fluid interaction in porous or fractured rocks, possibly leading to rock damage, alteration, and porosity/mineral variation (e.g. dissolution, precipitation, etc.). For instance, the precipitation of minerals (e.g. clay) tends to reduce hydraulic permeability, affecting fluid circulation and the efficiency of geothermal systems.

Objectives and method:

The main objectives of the research are to:
- Integrate fracture structure and mineral composition into the assessment of hydromechanical rock
properties.
- Model the evolution of mineral content due to alteration processes.
- Predict the impact on reservoir behaviour and geothermal production at larger scales.

To achieve this, the study will develop a theoretical and numerical multiphysical (TH(MC)) model that links microstructural properties to macroscopic rock behaviour. This geomechanics and rock mechanics work will be realised using finite element modelling approaches (e.g. Comsol MultiPhysics).

Profil recherché :
Candidate profile: Candidates can apply for a 3-year PhD scholarship at University of Lyon (ENTPE engineering school, LTDS laboratory, Lyon, France).

The 3-year project will give the applicant opportunities to develop various technical skills (advanced numerical methods, poromechanics, elastoplasticity, damage approach, etc.) and to integrate a dynamic geomechanics network having a large experience in numerical modelling. The successful applicant will use and improve coupled non-linear finite element models, based on experimental data. The ability to communicate orally and write in English is required and international mobility is encouraged.

[Contrat doctoral] DevSecMLOps: Security-by-Design for Trustworthy Machine Learning Pipelines à IRIT, Université de Toulouse

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 17:53:05 +0200

Context

Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) has become essential to managing the lifecycle of machine learning (ML) models, enabling continuous delivery, automation, and reproducibility. However, the rapid adoption of MLOps has advanced more quickly than the integration of robust security practices. Traditional software security practices—such as static analysis, dynamic scans, and vulnerability assessments—are well established, but ML pipelines present additional unique security concerns [1] [2]. For instance, ML systems face risks like adversarial attacks, model poisoning, training data compromise, drift, and injection attacks [3]. Additionally, privacy and compliance challenges—such as protecting personally identifiable information (PII) during data ingestion and model training—introduce further complexity that traditional security methods often overlook [4]. This suggests that machine learning models require security controls tailored to their lifecycle, from data collection to training, deployment, and monitoring. Current MLOps practices lack comprehensive built-in security mechanisms tailored to ML-specific risks and are fragmented: they either target specific threats, lack end-to-end traceability across the pipeline, or introduce prohibitive overhead that undermines the agility promised by MLOps. This has given rise to the emerging field of DevSecMLOps, which aims to extend the principles of DevSecOps [5, 6] to machine learning systems, ensuring both agility and security in AI-based applications.

The core problem is therefore the absence of a unified, systematic, and pipeline-wide approach to integrate security-by-design into MLOps pipelines. We lack frameworks that can:

Embed security requirements explicitly into ML workflows from the start,

Continuously enforce and monitor these requirements across all pipeline stages, and

Adapt to evolving threats without slowing down the pace of deployment.

Without such an approach, organizations risk deploying AI systems that are performant but fragile, exposing them to critical security and privacy breaches.

Objectives

The PhD will investigate the foundations and practical mechanisms of DevSecMLOps. The specifics of security in MLOps will mainly concern privacy. Users of ML-based solutions are legitimately concerned about the future of their data (e.g., where it is stored and who has access to it), and data anonymization is a key concern. The other facet of security (e.g., who is responsible in the event of a security problem?, how to ensure that ML models are robust against attacks and cannot be used maliciously) will also have to be taken into account. The research will focus on embedding security requirements directly into ML workflows, ensuring that threats such as data poisoning, adversarial manipulation, and privacy leakage are anticipated and mitigated early. It will also explore AI-driven automation to support continuous security checks, balancing the rigour of security with the agility of continuous delivery. The expected result is a methodological and technical framework that operationalizes security for ML pipelines, enabling organizations to deploy AI systems that are both performant and trustworthy.

Mission

The PhD candidate will conduct a comprehensive study of vulnerabilities across ML lifecycles, identify the security issues associated with current MLOPs practices, and analyze how existing DevSecOps principles can be extended to MLOps. The candidate will design security-by-design mechanisms tailored to ML workflows, from data ingestion and preprocessing to model training and deployment. These mechanisms should be developed, while acknowledging that those systems evolve rapidly. The candidate will also explore the use of machine learning for automating security checks, generating adversarial tests, and detecting pipeline anomalies. Finally, the proposed solutions will be validated through industrial case studies (from Softeam Group), demonstrating their effectiveness in mitigating threats while maintaining reproducibility and delivery speed.

[Contrat doctoral] Development of heavy-metal-oxide glass fiber lasers for the mid-infrared optical window à ICMCB-CNRS

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 17:53:05 +0200

The mid-infrared (MIR) optical domain, supporting the fundamental vibrational modes of various biological and organic compounds, has garnered significant interest from both academic and industrial sectors, particularly for military, environmental, and medical applications. Within the fiber optic community, the MIR optical window spans from 2.5 to 20 μm, with only a few families of inorganic non-metallic glasses suitable for exploitation, such as heavy-metal-oxide, halide, and chalcogenide-based glasses.

For over a decade, a strong collaboration between the University of Bordeaux and Laval University (Quebec, Canada) has driven the development of robust heavy-metal-oxide glasses, specifically germano-gallate glasses. This partnership has resulted in several milestone achievements, including the fabrication of low-loss fibers, supercontinuum generation, and the ultrafast inscription of laser waveguides. This doctoral project, situated at the intersection of research and development, aims to achieve the first demonstration of efficient mid-infrared fiber lasers based on germano-gallate glass fibers. The project will be conducted as a cotutelle, with the candidate splitting their time between ICMCB in France and COPL in Canada. These laboratories represent a select group of institutions worldwide with the expertise to cover the entire process of fiber-based device creation, from fundamental fiber fabrication to integration into complex optical systems.

Throughout the PhD, the candidate will conduct an in-depth study of glass composition, synthesizing glass via melt-quenching, drawing fibers using the preform-to-fiber method, and characterizing both the fibers and glasses using a range of spectroscopic, thermal, and mechanical analyses. In collaboration with LumIR Lasers company, the candidate will also optimize fiber design through numerical simulations and practical experiments.

Main aspects developed during the project:

Synthesis of new compositions of heavy oxide glasses and purification of materials

Fiber drawing of materials for infrared and mid-infrared.

Physicochemical and structural characterizations (Raman, NMR, luminescence, AFM, Electron microscopies: SEM, TEM, EDS, Auger).

Optical characterizations and laser functionality tests.
