The focus of this project is the development of membranes for the purification of industrial waste water, which will be derived from a graphene-like material that 3M Canada has previously developed. The need for improved filtration methods, specifically those that target the removal of potentially toxic and harmful transition metal contaminants, has never been greater as large-scale industrial processes, for example, hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and the extraction of bituminous sands, are generating immense quantities of contaminated water within Canada's borders. The research enabled by this grant will look at the transformation of 3M Canada's graphene-like material into chemically modified graphene and graphene-oxide filtration membranes with tunable porosities. This work will help 3M Canada design a new line of filtration membranes for distribution to the Canadian and global markets, where different membranes (with varying porosity) will be incorporated into products depending on the contaminants present in various industrial waste water streams. The proposed research will occur at the University of Western Ontario and within the laboratories of 3M Canada in London, Ontario.

该项目的重点是开发用于净化工业废水的膜，该膜将源自 3M 加拿大公司先前开发的类石墨烯材料。由于水力压裂和沥青砂开采等大规模工业流程在加拿大境内产生大量受污染的水，因此对改进过滤方法，特别是那些旨在去除潜在有毒和有害过渡金属污染物的过滤方法的需求从未如此强烈。这笔赠款支持的研究将着眼于将 3M 加拿大公司的类石墨烯材料转化为化学改性石墨烯和氧化石墨烯过滤 具有可调孔隙率的膜。这项工作将帮助 3M 加拿大公司设计一条新的过滤膜系列，销往加拿大和全球市场，根据各种工业废水流中存在的污染物，不同的膜（具有不同的孔隙率）将被纳入产品中。拟议的研究将在西安大略大学和安大略省伦敦的 3M 加拿大实验室内进行。
