Welcome Messages

On behalf of the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering (CSChE) and our Conference Sponsors, it is

a pleasure to welcome you to the 66th Canadian Chemical Engineering Conference in this beautiful and

historic capital of Québec.

Our Society’s Vision is to develop Solutions for a Better World. This year’s CSChE conference program

reflects this conviction with a theme of Sustainability and Prosperity and associated symposia and divisional

sessions. Alongside this theme Le Consortium de recherche et innovations en bioprocédés industriels au Québec is

contributing two exciting days of programing to the CSChE conference entitled the Biobased economy in Quebec:

Innovation, Challenges and Opportunities.

Please join me in thanking the Université Laval Organizing Committee and its volunteers, led by Conference

Chair Alain Garnier, Technical Program Chair Faiçal Larachi, and Conference Vice-chair Martine Péloquin of

Valero for bringing us together to share this great programing.

Our Society’s Mission is to advance the chemical engineering profession and the careers of its practitioners

to achieve our common vision. We do this through facilitating the exchange of knowledge, enabling lifelong

learning, and promoting STEM education. These activities ultimately require us to connect with all chemical

engineering practitioners to create a strong, representative, and complete community of chemical engineers

in Canada. Towards this end the CSChE Strategic Initiatives Committee is making recommendations to the

CSChE board that, when implemented, will allow our members to connect with a larger chemical engineering

community in Canada. Please join us in this transformation by asking how you can help.

Finally, thank you for taking the time to attend your national conference. Through your investment we are

learning about the challenges our society faces and their potential solutions. Ultimately this new knowledge,

supported by your chemical engineering community, will lead us to solve world shortages in food, water,

materials , and bio-medical remedies while reducing our impact on the environment.

Welcome Messages

On behalf of the conference organizing committee and the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering

(CSChE), we are pleased to welcome you to the 66th Canadian Chemical Engineering Conference, to be

held in Québec City, October 16-19, 2016.

The conference theme Sustainability and Prosperity illustrates the sometimes contrasting challenge faced

by society and in particular chemical engineers. Who is better positioned than us, designers and managers of

chemical processes, to reconcile the need for effective and competitive manufacturing plants with the need to

reduce their environmental footprint? The conference will address this challenge by combining the usual subject

division programs with special symposia on Rheology of Complex Fluids; Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage;

Challenges and Opportunities for Micro-algal Technologies; Fats & Oils: Sustainability and Innovation; and Indus-

trial Biotechnology (in collaboration with CRIBIQ). Process Safety and Loss Management and Chemical Engineering

Education sessions will also figure prominently. In addition, two honorary symposia will be held to outline the

outstanding contributions of Professor Pierre Carreau from École Polytechnique de Montréal in Rheology and

Polymer Nanocomposites and Professor Serge Kaliaguine, on his 50th anniversary at Laval, in Catalysis.

Ten regular sessions will complete the program: Biotechnology & Bioengineering; Biomedical Engineering; Catal-

ysis and Catalytic Reaction Engineering; Chemical Engineering Foundations; Electrochemistry and Electrochemical

Engineering; Energy Resources; Environment; Macromolecular Sciences and Engineered Polymers; Nanomaterials

and Nanotechnology; as well as Systems and Control.

Four prestigious plenary speakers will highlight important aspects of our discipline: Professor Guy B Marin,

Ghent University, Belgium, Dr. Jean-Luc Dubois, Scientific Director at Arkema, Professor Jamal Chaouki, École

Polytechnique de Montréal and the R. S. Jane Memorial Lecturer Professor Shiping Zhu, FCIC, McMaster University.

Québec City, a UNESCO world heritage site, will provide a fabulous backdrop for our conference. Québec’s

legendary hospitality will welcome you as you enjoy one of Canada’s most beautiful regions, combining culture

and gastronomy with history, architecture and nature. We hope you will use the occasion of this conference to

share this experience with your friends and family.

Acrolein Production from Renewable Resources: Glycerol and Ethanol RoutesAcrolein is an important chemical intermediate for fine chemicals and in the methionine and acrylic acid produc-

tion. Glycerol double intra-molecular dehydration leads to Acrolein over acidic catalysts in a process developed by

Arkema. Co-feeding oxygen at the dehydration stage, proved to be a solution to reduce production of side products,

but also to extend the catalyst time on stream. One of the difficulties of this chemistry remains the slow but steady

deactivation of catalysts due to coke formation. Understanding the mechanism leading to coke formation and its

role in the reaction selectivity has been carried out in a bubbling fluidized bed. As coke builds up on the catalyst,

the reaction selectivity improves, while the catalyst active sites distribution is significantly affected.

Another challenge in this reaction is the content of propanaldehyde in the reaction product. Propanaldehyde

will react as Acrolein in consecutive reactions like oxidations, acetalization but will not polymerize; leading

to the same problem for its oxidation product: propionic acid versus acrylic acid. A solution, using oxidation

catalysts, to selectively react propanaldehyde in Acrolein-rich streams has been investigated and patented with

acceptable low level of propanaldehyde.

A second innovative route to Acrolein is direct oxidation of a Methanol/Ethanol composition, called Alcohols

Oxidative Coupling; whereby Methanol and Ethanol are oxidized to the respective aldehydes, followed by aldol-

ization and dehydration to Acrolein. Catalysts with the appropriate balance of redox and acid/base sites, such as

iron-molybdate catalysts are to produce Acrolein in a single-step reaction.

Yesterday, Waste was a Problem. Today, it is a Valuable ResourceAccording to the World Bank report (2012), the global amount of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is expected

to grow from 1.3 billion tonnes per year in 2012 to 2.2 billion tonnes/year in 2025 and to 4.2 billion tonnes/

year by 2050. Today, North America and the European Union are recognized as major producers of MSW, but

the MSW production rates are also rapidly increasing in developing economies. Due to global environmental

concerns, more research has been actively focused on the efficient use of energy resources and the effective

utilization of renewable biomass resources as well as non-recycle waste material. As it will be examine in this

article, incineration is currently the most dominating waste-to-energy (WtE) technology for MSW and biomass

processing resulting in energy recovery of different types of waste into heat and electricity. Other advanced

disposal technologies, which also will be discussed, need to be implemented, to provide higher energy efficiency,

to produce chemicals and to meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations. Among these technologies,

pyrolysis, gasification and co-combustion are attractive approaches to develop an environmentally, economically

and sustainable solid waste and biomass management process.

Polymer Reaction Engineering for Advanced MaterialsWe are living in the “Materials World”. We currently consume more polymeric materials than all other types of synthetic materials combined. Chemical engineering is about production and processing of materials and chemi-cals in safe, sustainable and profitable ways, through design, optimization and control. Reaction engineering and separation engineering are the two foundations in chemical engineering. Polymers are chain molecules and their material properties are determined to a large extent by their chain microstructural properties such as molecular weight distribution, copolymer composition distribution, sequence distribution, tacticity, branching, crosslink-ing, topology, and so on. Polymers are the products of processes. A small difference in process could make a totally different polymer product because of variety of the chain microstructure, which provides great opportuni-ties for discovery and innovation in making new polymer products and in upgrading existing polymer products.

Presented in this talk are a chemical engineer’s point of view on the development of advanced polymer materials and several research examples of our effort in making better polymers through innovative reaction engineering approaches, including making polymers stronger in application and easier to process, precision production of polymers through semi-batch and continuous reactor operations, and designing of greener polymer products. Presented are also some recent works on applying smart polymers as facilitating reagents in separation engineering that save energy and benefit our environment.

Bridges in Modelling and Simulation of Steam-cracking: From Fossil to Renewable Feedstock and from Molecule to FurnaceThis lecture will focus on the thermal conversion of fossil or renewable feedstocks to olefins. Fossil/renewable feedstocks consist of a considerable amount of types of molecules but the available information is limited to commercial indices with macroscopic properties, e.g. density and boiling point trajectory. A broad range of feed-stocks was analyzed by GCxGC and constituted a training set for so-called molecular reconstruction methods. The latter allow using the available macroscopic properties to characterize the feedstock in the terms required fundamental for fundamental kinetic models like those implemented in COILSIM1D, a suite of codes commer-cialized by a recent latter allow using the available macroscopic properties to characterize the feedstock in the terms required for spinoff of Ghent University. Group contribution methods are applied to calculate the required kinetic parameters. These group contributions follow from a kinetic database obtained by high level ab-initio calculations involving representative molecules and reactions. Soundness of the approach has been confirmed by the agreement between calculated product yields and pilot and industrial data without adjusting any of the first-principles derived group contribution values.

The validated kinetic model has been implemented in reactor models. The latter go way beyond the ideal plug flow assumption and allow to investigate the effect of a so-called 3D reactor geometry on the heat transfer from the furnace to the process gas and, hence, on the rate at which coke is deposited on the internal reactor walls. This, together with accounting for the interaction between the furnace and the reactor coils, allow COILSIM1D to provide an accurate and fast estimation of the run length of steam cracking furnaces.
