Axes de recherche

Drinking water treatment

  • Disinfection by-product formation

  • Characterization of natural organic matter

  • Degradation of organic micropollutants (oxidation or photolysis) 

 

PEARL DIP project (drinking water treatment)

Karlien Dejaeger PhD project (co-tutelle UGent, Be) - i-Site ULNE - European Union's Horizon 2020

 

Projet NOMIC ANR JC-JC 2022-2025

NOMIC proposes new methodologies to characterize dissolved organic matter  and its behavior during treatment processes. NOM is ubiquitous in aquatic environment. While nontoxic, the organic matter largely outweighs the reactivity of micropollutants and consumes the majority of the oxidants used during drinking water treatment. These reactions produce potentially harmfull compounds in drinking waters.

Mohamad Shalak PhD project on organic matter characterization and disinfection by-product formation

Jérémy Mougin is currently working on the analysis of electron donating capacity of organic matter

 

PESTO : Réponse des filières de potabilisation à la présence de métabolites de pesticides dans les eaux des Hauts-de-France

Partenariat Public/Privé sur le devenir de la chloridazone et de ses métabolites dans l'eau de distribution - financé par le Contrat Plan Etat Région ECRIN (Environnement Climat – Recherche et Innovation)

Post-doc - 13 mois en cours de recrutement

 

Collaboration ULille - KNUST (Kumasi - Ghana)

A collaborative project started in 2022 with the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) from Kumasi in Ghana. The goal is a capacity bulding for water quality monitoring in Ghana especially on disinfection by-products and research on the traitability of surface water in Ghana. The project is supported by the French Embassy in Ghana and the Hauts-de-France Council. 

Isaac Osei Safo PhD project will start in oct 2023 (co-supervisor Junias Adusei Gyamfi)

 

Sources, behavior and distribution of organic micropollutants in the aquatic environment

  • Passive sampling for pesticides and pharmaceuticals (POCIS)
  • Passive sampling for chlorinated solvents (PDB)
  • Application to surface- and ground- waters
