[Stage] Master 2 / Engineer Internship for NMR monitoring of oleaginous microalgae cultivations à Nantes University

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 17:53:08 +0200

Context: Oleaginous microalgae are a source of biomass rich in oil (or triacylglycerol, TAG), an energetically dense class of molecules generated by esterification of fatty acids (FAs). FAs are carbon chains of various structures, which can be of interest to different industrial sectors, from very long-chain polyunsaturated GAs for food, health and cosmetics, to monounsaturated/saturated GAs for commodity chemistry and biofuels. Oil from algae is therefore one of the most promising renewable alternatives to fossil hydrocarbons. As part of the B-BEST priority research program and equipment, the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum (PT) will be studied, as it is known to produce large quantities of lipids as TAGs droplet form in the extracellular medium.

The CEISAM and GEPEA laboratories involved in the ALGADVANCE project have a 6-year collaboration in which they demonstrated, as part of the AMER-METAL project, that Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy gives precise access to the identity and quantity of microalgal lipids [1] directly on the whole biomass, thanks to high magnetic field instruments. On the other hand, compact NMR devices [2] were able to monitor the lipid production of microalgae, thanks to signal elimination from the water medium [3] during 15 days of culture by coupling a photobioreactor [4].

[Stage] Biodisponibilité des oméga-3 d’origines végétales à INRAE

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 17:53:08 +0200

Les galactolipides sont des lipides omniprésents dans les membranes des chloroplastes des végétaux, qu’il s’agisse de plantes terrestres ou d’algues. Dans ces systèmes, ils représentent environ 77% des stocks en acides gras. Riches en acides gras polyinsaturés, ils constituent des sources potentielles et durables d’oméga-3 d’intérêt pour l’alimentation humaine. Cependant, la digestion et le devenir digestif des galactolipides restent encore mal connus. Afin de pouvoir étudier les propriétés digestives de ces molécules, il est indispensable d’en extraire et purifier des quantités suffisantes.
Les galactolipides obtenus seront incorporés dans des émulsions modèles, en parallèle avec les systèmes constitués de phospholipides ou de triglycérides de synthèse, qui seront administrés par gavage oral à des souris modèles. Le travail d’extraction, de purification et de formulation des émulsions de galactolipides sera mené à partir de plusieurs sources végétales présentant des compositions différentes en galactolipides. La biodisponibilité in vivo de ces systèmes sera ensuite comparée à celles de sources d’oméga-3 de référence, constituées de phospholipides ou de triglycérides. Ce volet in vivo chez la souris sera réalisé en collaboration avec l’équipe CarMen (INRAE U1397, INSERM U1060, Lyon).
Les objectifs de ce stage sont (1) d’extraire et de purifier des galactolipides riches en oméga-3 depuis différentes sources végétales, (2) de formuler et de caractériser les émulsions contenant ces galactolipides, ou des phospholipides ou triglycérides de synthèse, qui seront utilisées dans l’étude in vivo.

Programme scientifique et technique
1. Extraire et purifier des galactolipides riches en oméga-3 à partir de sources végétales
2. Formuler et étudier la stabilité des émulsions de galactolipides, de phospholipides, et de triglycérides modèles.

[CDD] Chimie de l'aluminium et du chrome dans le circuit primaire en situation d'accident grave d'un coeur ATF - interaction avec des produits de fission volatils (PsD RES26-1) à Autorité de sûreté nucléaire et de radioprotection

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 17:53:07 +0200

Le combustible dopé au chrome, obtenu par ajout de faibles quantités de Cr₂O₃ à l'UO₂, est particulièrement étudié car il améliore certaines performances du combustible : augmentation de la taille des grains, réduction des émissions de gaz de fission et diminution des risques d'interaction entre les pastilles et la gaine. D'autres additifs, comme le mélange Cr₂O₃–Al₂O₃, sont également envisagés pour optimiser la microstructure du combustible. Parallèlement, des gaines recouvertes de chrome ou composées d'alliages Fe-Cr-Al sont développées afin d'améliorer leur résistance à l'oxydation en situation accidentelle.

Cependant, les connaissances restent limitées concernant le comportement du chrome et de l'aluminium lors d'accidents graves, notamment leur relâchement et leurs interactions avec les produits de fission. Les quantités présentes dans un cœur de réacteur peuvent être importantes et entraîner des réactions avec des éléments comme le césium, le molybdène ou l'iode. Ces phénomènes peuvent modifier le transport des produits radioactifs dans le circuit primaire et l'enceinte de confinement, tout en soulevant des enjeux de toxicité chimique et radiologique.;

Dans ce contexte, le programme OCDE FORESEEN (2026–2030) vise à approfondir l'étude du transport et de la réactivité du chrome et de l'aluminium dans des conditions représentatives d'accident grave, notamment en présence de vapeur borée et de plusieurs produits de fission.

Le post-doctorat présenté, d'une durée de 18 mois, poursuivra les premiers travaux entrepris au laboratoire, en se concentrant particulièrement sur la réactivité du chrome en présence de vapeur borée et les étendra à l'étude du comportement de l'aluminium. L'objectif final est d'acquérir des connaissances et des données pour développer des modèles capables de mieux prédire le transport et les interactions de ces éléments dans le circuit de refroidissement du réacteur lors d'accidents graves.

La mission d'une durée de 18 mois se décompose en 3 parties :

Phase préparatoire : réalisation de pré-tests de qualification d'injection d'aluminium (courbes de vaporisation du creuset ; limite de détection des analyses ; puretés des réactifs ; mise en solution des dépôts …)
Réalisation de la matrice d'essais sur le système Al-Mo-B incluant potentiellement des essais de reproductibilité puis de la matrice d'essais sur le système Cr-Cs(I)-B
Interprétation des essais et potentiellement optimisation/adaptation du modèle existant, rédaction des rapports d'essais, valorisation des travaux (publication, congrès).

Ce travail a une forte composante collaborative avec différents services internes ou externes de l'ASNR qui sont parties prenantes de ce projet de recherche. Vous formaliserez et communiquerez les résultats de vos travaux de recherche vers les partenaires du projet et possiblement vers les entités de la sphère du nucléaire directement intéressées par nos travaux.

Profil recherché :
Vous êtes titulaire d'un diplôme doctorat en chimie, physique, matériau ou nucléaire, idéalement connaissances des techniques de chimie analytique et/ou analyses de surface. Vous aimez l'expérimentation, vous êtes dynamique, créatif, méthodique et rigoureux. Vous êtes respectueux des règles de sécurité. Vous faites preuve d'esprit d'analyse et de synthèse. Vous appréciez le travail en équipe et avez une bonne aptitude rédactionnelle. Votre capacité de communication et d'adaptation vous permet de mener à bien les actions de recherche dont vous aurez la charge. Ce poste demande de bonnes capacités relationnelles.

[Autre] Independent Investigator Fellowship Program à National Institute of Biological Science, Beijing

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 17:53:09 +0200

Independent Investigator Fellowship Program

National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing (NIBS)

The National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing (NIBS) also known as the Tsinghua Institute of Multidisciplinary Biomedical Research (TIMBR) within Tsinghua University.

The National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing (NIBS) invites applications from outstanding early-career scientists for the Independent Investigator Fellowship Program.

A Different Path to Scientific Independence

Many of the most transformative discoveries in biology were made by scientists at an early stage of their careers, when they were free to pursue bold ideas and challenge established paradigms. Yet in today's biomedical research ecosystem, the path to independence has become increasingly prolonged. Talented young scientists often spend many years in postdoctoral positions before having the opportunity to establish their own research programs.

NIBS believes that exceptional scientists should have the opportunity to pursue independence earlier.

The Independent Investigator Fellowship Program was established to accelerate the transition from doctoral training to scientific leadership. Rather than serving as another postdoctoral position, this program provides outstanding young scientists with the resources, mentorship, and intellectual freedom necessary to develop their own research vision and establish an independent scientific identity.

Our goal is to identify future leaders in biomedical research and provide them with the opportunity to begin leading independent research programs at an earlier stage of their careers.

Eligibility

Applicants should have received their Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent doctoral degree within the past three years and should demonstrate exceptional scientific achievement, creativity, and potential for independent research leadership.

Applicants from all areas of modern biomedical research are encouraged to apply.

Fellowship Support

Successful fellows will receive:

Three years of internationally competitive salary and research support
Flexible funding of RMB 1.5 million per year, to be used at the fellow's discretion in support of their independent research program
Access to 16 state-of-the-art technology core facilities spanning transgenic animal resources, proteomics, imaging, biophysics, chemical biology, bioengineering, bioinformatics, AI-enabled research capabilities, and other advanced biomedical research technologies
Mentorship from senior faculty members selected by the fellow
Full scientific independence and ownership of their research accomplishments
The opportunity to recruit and supervise up to two graduate students
Subsidized housing
Comprehensive administrative and operational support for establishing and managing an independent research program

An Environment Designed for Discovery

NIBS provides a uniquely supportive environment for young investigators. Our centralized research infrastructure allows fellows to pursue ambitious scientific questions without first building extensive technical capabilities. Fellows are encouraged to tackle important and challenging problems, develop original research directions, and establish collaborations across disciplines.

Faculty mentors are committed to helping fellows succeed while fully respecting their scientific independence. Fellows will receive guidance, advice, and access to institutional resources while retaining ownership of their ideas, discoveries, publications, and scientific achievements.

Importantly, the fellowship is not intended as an extension of postdoctoral training. Fellows are expected to pursue original research directions and will be evaluated as independent investigators rather than as trainees.

The program is designed as an accelerated pathway for exceptional young scientists to establish themselves as independent investigators and future leaders of the biomedical research community.

Application Materials

Applicants should submit:

Curriculum Vitae (CV)
Research Proposal
Three Letters of Reference

Applications will be evaluated based on scientific accomplishment, originality, creativity, and potential for future leadership in biomedical research.

Commitment to Diversity

NIBS is committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and intellectually vibrant scientific community. We welcome applications from outstanding scientists of all genders, nationalities, and ethnic backgrounds.

Shape the Future of Biomedical Research

If you are an ambitious young scientist with a bold idea and the determination to pursue it, we encourage you to apply.

NIBS is committed to creating an environment where exceptional talent can achieve scientific independence earlier, pursue transformative discoveries, and help define the future of biomedical research.

[Contrat doctoral] Elaboration and study of physical properties of graphenic carbon nitrides nanostructures à ICMMO / Université Paris-Saclay et IEMN / Université de Lille

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

The discovery of novel 2D materials with unique electronic band structures has generated significant interest in understanding how modifications in their morphology and elemental composition can influence their physical properties. A major objective in this field has been to develop alternatives to conventional top-down fabrication methods of tailored graphene-based structures, which originally exhibit semimetallic electronic properties. In this context, bottom-up approaches based on on-surface reactions of molecular precursors (e.g., via Ullmann coupling and cyclodehydrogenation) have proven to be highly efficient for the growth of nanostructured one- and two-dimensional graphenic architectures on metal surfaces with tunable electronic properties, ranging from semimetallic to semiconducting behavior. By the same time, advances in solution-phase molecular chemistry also made possible the synthesis of extended 2D conjugated networks.

Building on these advances, the proposed PhD project will focus on the synthesis of suitable molecular precursors, followed by the growth of porous 2D carbon nitride (CxNy) layers using two complementary approaches: traditional wet chemistry (i.e., the Fittig reaction) and UHV-based on-surface synthesis as described above. Particular emphasis will be placed on investigating the atomic structure, chemical composition, electronic and vibrational properties of the resulting CN-based materials, grown or drop-casted on different substrates.

Profil recherché :
The candidate should have a strong interest in experimental work. Knowledge of organic chemistry, ultra-high vacuum (UHV) techniques and Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) would be clear advantages for this project. One part of the study will be conducted in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) condition: Substrate's preparation and molecular precursors deposition on these surfaces by molecular beam epitaxy; Elaboration of graphene-based nanostructures via on-surface reaction of the precursors; Exploring their structures at atomic scale, chemical composition and electronic properties with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). The candidate will also be responsible for studies at ambient conditions: Synthesis of molecular precursors and their use for the growth of 2D CN-based layers, along with the characterization of both precursor and resulting materials using conventional techniques; Study of their vibrational and optical properties, along with evaluating their suitability for use as active layers in sensors and transistors. The candidate should be able to work both independently and in a collaborative environment (i.e. interact with physicists, chemists and theoreticians). Good communication skills and knowledge of English are required since the candidate will participate in the dissemination of his/her research to the international community: publications in scientific journals, conferences, general public communication, etc.

[Contrat doctoral] Spéciation et devenir de l’OBT dans les écosystèmes terrestres : approche intégrée par fractionnement géochimique, FTMS, scintillation liquide et modélisation radiol à CEA

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:06 +0200

Contexte :

Le tritium, isotope radioactif de l’hydrogène est largement présent dans l’environnent tant dans l’atmosphère que dans l’hydrosphère, sous forme principalement d’eau tritiée (HTO). En raison de sa similitude chimique avec l’hydrogène stable, il participe aux grands cycles biogéochimiques et interagit étroitement avec les organismes vivants. A travers des processus métaboliques fondamentaux, tels que l’hydratation et la photosynthèse, le tritium peut être incorporé dans la matière organique, conduisant à la formation de tritium organiquement lié (TOL ou OBT pour Organically Bound Tritium).

Contrairement au tritium sous forme libre, caractérisé par une dynamique rapide d’échange avec l’eau corporelle, le TOL présente une rétention plus prolongée dans les tissus biologiques. Cette spécificité confère au TOL des propriétés radiobiologiques particulières, notamment un potentiel d’exposition interne accru lié à sa demi-vie biologique plus longue et à son incorporation dans des composés organiques stables. Par conséquent, le TOL est désormais considéré comme un paramètre clé dans l’évaluation de l’impact radiologique associé aux rejets de tritium issus des installations nucléaires.

Dans ce contexte, la caractérisation du TOL dans l’environnement constitue un enjeu scientifique et méthodologique majeur. Le choix du compartiment environnemental étudié — qu’il s’agisse des sols, des végétaux ou des sédiments — apparaît déterminant, dans la mesure où chaque matrice présente des capacités distinctes d’incorporation, de transformation et de rétention du tritium. La distinction entre bioaccumulateurs et bio-indicateurs, ainsi que les processus écophysiologiques qui leur sont associés, influencent directement les concentrations mesurées et leur représentativité. Cette variabilité, encore difficile à quantifier de manière robuste, introduit des incertitudes significatives dans l’interprétation des données et, par conséquent, dans l’évaluation globale de l’impact environnemental du tritium. Dans cette perspective, il est essentiel de mieux comprendre les mécanismes gouvernant la formation et la distribution du TOL dans les différents compartiments de l’environnement, afin d’améliorer la pertinence des approches de surveillance et de renforcer la fiabilité des évaluations radiologiques.

Les activités industrielles et nucléaires, historiques ou futures notamment dans les domaines de la gestion des déchets radioactifs et de la fusion nucléaire, , soulèvent des enjeux majeurs en matière de radioprotection et d’évaluation des risques environnementaux. Parmi les radionucléides d’intérêt, le tritium organiquement lié (TOL) occupe une place particulière en raison de sa persistance dans les écosystèmes et de son potentiel de transfert au sein des réseaux trophiques.

Malgré les avancées récentes, les mécanismes gouvernant l’incorporation du tritium dans la matière organique et sa répartition entre les différentes fractions organiques demeurent encore imparfaitement compris. Cette méconnaissance constitue une limite importante à la prédiction des comportements écotoxicologiques et des doses associées à l’exposition interne, en particulier pour le biota et les compartiments environnementaux complexes.

Dans ce contexte, ce projet de recherche propose une approche intégrée visant à améliorer la compréhension de ces processus. Celle-ci repose sur la combinaison du fractionnement géochimique de la matière organique, de l’analyse moléculaire à très haute résolution par spectrométrie de masse Orbitrap, et de la modélisation des transferts environnementaux du tritium. L’objectif vise à réduire les incertitudes associées à la dynamique du Tritium organiquement lié (TOL) et à renforcer la robustesse des évaluations de risques radiologique.

Objectifs de la thèse :

Le tritium est l’un des radionucléides les plus rejetés dans l’atmosphère et contribue de manière significative à la dose annuelle reçue par les populations locales, principalement via l’ingestion de produits alimentaires issus de la production locale. Dans ce contexte, ce projet de recherche vise à étudier et évaluer les niveaux d’activité du tritium organiquement lié (TOL) dans les compartiments environnementaux, afin de :

Evaluer l’impact radiologique associé aux activités passées, notamment en lien avec les rejets historiques de tritium.

Identifier les compositions moléculaires associées au tritium organiquement lié (OBT) par spectrométrie de masse ultra-haute résolution (Orbitrap), en ciblant les principales familles de composés organiques, notamment les lipides, les protéines et les substances humiques.
Corréler les profils moléculaires obtenus avec les activités mesurées afin d’identifier les fractions organiques jouant un rôle de réservoirs ou de vecteurs de transfert du tritium organiquement lié(TOL).

3. Objectif modélisation : Développer et appliquer des approches de modélisation permettant de prédire les impacts radiologiques et éco-toxicologiques associés au tritium organiquement lié (TOL) Développer un modèle de transfert environnemental intégrant :

Les données de spéciation moléculaire (Orbitrap).

[Contrat doctoral] Caractérisation des mécanismes radiolytiques dans les systèmes eau tritiée – zéolithe en condition d’entreposage à CEA/Saclay

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:04 +0200

Contexte scientifique et enjeux

La gestion des effluents tritiés constitue un enjeu majeur pour les installations nucléaires, en particulier pour les activités liées au tritium au sein du CEA de Valduc. Ces installations génèrent des effluents liquides sous forme d’eau faiblement tritiée, dont la faible activité volumique ne permet pas une valorisation directe. Leur stockage sous forme liquide posant des contraintes opérationnelles fortes, une stratégie alternative consiste à immobiliser cette eau par adsorption dans des matrices solides de type alumino-silicates, notamment des zéolithes 4A, conditionnées en conteneurs étanches.

Dans ce contexte, la compréhension fine des phénomènes physicochimiques se produisant au cours de l’entreposage à long terme est cruciale. En particulier, l’auto-radiolyse de l’eau tritiée confinée dans les pores nanométriques des zéolithes génère des espèces gazeuses (H₂, O₂) et des intermédiaires réactifs dont le comportement reste encore partiellement compris. Ces processus conditionnent directement la sûreté du stockage.

Les travaux menés ces dernières années ont permis des avancées significatives. Des observations expérimentales ont notamment mis en évidence un phénomène inattendu de recombinaison des gaz radiolytiques (H₂ et O₂) lorsque la zéolithe est partiellement hydratée (en dessous d’un seuil d’environ 13 %). En parallèle, des approches de modélisation (DFT, dynamique moléculaire, Monte Carlo cinétique) ont permis de mieux comprendre les sites d’adsorption, la mobilité des espèces et leur probabilité de rencontre dans la matrice poreuse. Ces études suggèrent l’existence d’un seuil critique d’hydratation au-delà duquel la diffusion des gaz devient fortement limitée, ce qui impacte directement les mécanismes réactionnels.

Cependant, ces travaux reposent majoritairement sur des systèmes idéalisés, éloignés des conditions réelles d’entreposage. Par ailleurs, les modèles développés restent encore peu contraints par des données expérimentales directes sur les mécanismes réactionnels en milieu confiné.

Objectifs de la thèse

L’objectif principal de cette thèse est de replacer l’expérimental au cœur de l’étude de la radiolyse confinée, afin de réduire l’écart entre approches fondamentales et conditions opérationnelles.

Le projet s’articule autour de trois axes principaux :

1. Caractérisation des matériaux réels de stockage
Une étude approfondie de la zéolithe utilisée industriellement sera menée. Ce matériau, sous forme de billes incorporant un liant (probablement argileux), présente une complexité structurale encore peu explorée. L’objectif sera d’en déterminer les propriétés structurales, texturales et chimiques, ainsi que leur influence sur l’adsorption de l’eau.

2. Simulation expérimentale de la radiolyse en conditions confinées
Des systèmes modèles seront développés en laboratoire, basés sur l’adsorption d’eau non tritiée dans les zéolithes, puis soumis à irradiation externe afin de reproduire les effets de la radiolyse du tritium. Ces expériences permettront de suivre la formation, l’évolution et les interactions des espèces radiolytiques dans un environnement contrôlé mais représentatif.

3. Identification des mécanismes réactionnels à l’échelle moléculaire
Un ensemble de techniques avancées sera mis en œuvre pour sonder le système de manière in situ et multi-échelle :

La RMN multinoyaux (¹H, ²⁹Si, ²⁷Al, ²³Na, ¹⁷O) permettra d’accéder aux environnements chimiques de la charpente, de l’eau confinée et des produits de radiolyse. L’utilisation d’eau enrichie en ¹⁷O offrira une sensibilité accrue aux interactions eau–zéolithe.
La résonance paramagnétique électronique (RPE) permettra de détecter et de caractériser les espèces radicalaires transitoires (par exemple HO^•), potentiellement impliquées dans les mécanismes de recombinaison.

Retombées attendues

Les résultats attendus sont à la fois fondamentaux et appliqués :

Une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes de radiolyse en milieu confiné, au cœur des problématiques de chimie sous rayonnement et d’effets de confinement.
L’identification des paramètres clés contrôlant la formation, la diffusion et la recombinaison des espèces gazeuses.
La production de données expérimentales originales permettant de contraindre et d’améliorer les modèles prédictifs développés précédemment (DFT, DM, KMC).
Des recommandations concrètes pour optimiser les conditions d’entreposage de l’eau tritiée (taux d’hydratation, formulation des matériaux, conditions de stockage).

Environnement scientifique

La thèse se déroulera principalement au sein du laboratoire NIMBE (UMR CEA–CNRS 3685) à Paris-Saclay, reconnu pour son expertise en physicochimie des matériaux, chimie sous rayonnement et caractérisations multi-échelles. Le doctorant bénéficiera d’un environnement expérimental de pointe et d’un encadrement pluridisciplinaire.

Le projet s’inscrit dans une collaboration étroite avec le CEA de Valduc, qui apportera son expertise sur le tritium, ses composés et les problématiques industrielles associées au stockage. Des interactions régulières entre les équipes permettront d’assurer une forte cohérence entre recherche académique et enjeux opérationnels.

Profil recherché :
Le (la) candidat(e) doit avoir des bases solides en chimie physique, chimie des matériaux et en techniques magnétiques (RMN et RPE). Le (la) candidat(e) doit posséder de la rigueur, de la curiosité, du goût pour l’expérimentation, l’instrumentation et du sens critique.

[Stage] « Influence des vapeurs métalliques sur le déplacement de l’arc » à Laboratoire LAPLACE UMR

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:53:04 +0200

Introduction

De nos jours, il existe plusieurs types de configurations technologiques dont le fonctionnement implique la génération d’un plasma thermique par arc électrique établi entre deux électrodes. C’est le cas des torches à plasma thermique ainsi que des dispositifs de coupure du courant transitoire : les disjoncteurs à haute et basse tension et les parafoudres. Dans le cas particulier de la coupure basse tension et des éclateurs à gaz (parafoudre), les enjeux concernent : l’augmentation de la tension de l’arc et son extinction le plus rapidement possible par limitation du courant.

Dans la littérature, la majorité des études théoriques et expérimentales sur la coupure basse tension est dédiée à l’étude des phénomènes physiques liés au déplacement de l’arc et à sa segmentation au niveau de séparateurs métalliques. Cependant, une faible importance est accordée aux effets que pourrait engendrer l’émission de vapeurs métalliques issues de l’érosion ou de l’ablation des électrodes par l’arc électrique.

La conception de dispositifs de coupure performants repose sur la compréhension des phénomènes physiques liés au déplacement de l’arc mais également à la compréhension de l’influence de l’interaction de l’arc avec les électrodes impliquant l’émission de vapeurs métalliques. Ces vapeurs métalliques viennent ensemencer le milieu plasma changeant ainsi ses propriétés. Du fait de leur faible potentiel d’ionisation, ces vapeurs métalliques ont tendance à augmenter la conductivité électrique du plasma facilitant ainsi les phénomènes de claquages de l’arc au niveau des zones en proche voisinage des électrodes. Ces phénomènes de claquage peuvent avoir un impact non négligeable sur le déplacement de l’arc pouvant parfois même compromettre le bon fonctionnement du dispositif. L’étude et la compréhension de leur influence sur les caractéristiques du plasma demeurent donc indispensables.

Sujet Proposé

La première partie du stage sera consacrée à une étude bibliographique (approches théoriques et expérimentales) sur les travaux relatifs à l’influence des vapeurs métalliques sur le comportement d’un arc dans l’air. Une synthèse des conclusions principales sera fournie.

Dans un second temps, l’étudiant(e) se familiarisera avec les outils de modélisation de l’équipe AEPPT (Icem et Fluent). L’apprentissage s’effectuera via une configuration d’arc libre qu’il s’agira de reproduire. Au préalable l’étudiant devra se familiariser avec la méthode des volumes finis.

La dernière partie du stage sera consacrée à l’étude de l’influence des vapeurs métalliques sur une configuration simplifiée constituée de deux rails parallèles.

Si le temps le permet, l’étudiant(e) participera à des compagnes expérimentales permettant de mettre en évidence les vapeurs métalliques et leur influence sur le comportement du plasma.

Possibilité de poursuire en thèse : Oui

Profil recherché :
Étudiant(e) en Master 2 ou en dernière année d'Ecole d'Ingénieur dans les domaines de la Physique, des Plasmas, de la Mécanique des fluides, de la simulation multi-physique - Connaissance en langage C - Mécanique des fluides - Physique fondamentale – Connaissance de la physique des plasmas appréciée

[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.
