Synthesis and characterization of multifunctional catalysts for the dry reforming of methane.

This project aims to synthesize different catalysts to test their performance in the dry reforming reaction. This reaction allows the reduction of greenhouse effect gases (Methane and carbon dioxide) and produce syngas which has a large industrial application. A good resistance of carbon and a good conversion of the reageant are the important points to take into consideration in this project.

Pharmaceutical tablets are produced by direct powder compression. This process is used due to its efficiency (over 100,000 tablets/hour). My project aims to study the sticking, which is one of the problems that reduce the output of the compression process. After a deep comprehension of the sticking, we will propose a solution to decrease its appearance frequency.

N. Abatzoglou (Co-director)

B.Sc. (2012) and M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from Cairo University, Egypt. Assistant lecturer in the British University in Egypt (BUE). From September 2019, Ph.D. in the Department of Chemical and Biotechnology Engineering, University of Sherbrooke (UdeS). Research subject: synthesis of Nanocarbon by plasma technology (PLASYNOC). This project aims to reduce greenhouse gases by using an environmentally friendly thermal plasma technology for hydrocarbon gases decomposition (ex: Methane) to produce high-quality carbon nanomaterials. In addition, hydrogen gas is produced as a by-product which can be used in the industrial processes’ electrification.
