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).

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).

[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.
