RESEARCH INTERESTS
I'm currently involved in research dealing with evaluation of biogeochemical reactivity of sediments in the perspective of their long-term management.
My actual research interests are also dealing with the assessment of sampling and analytical methods for total Silicon quantification in biogases.

Abstract Managing stormwater in infiltration-based systems enables the interception of runoff suspended solids. Accumulated particles form a layer of stormwater sediments, the contamination of which presents a critical challenge for maintenance operations but is still insufficiently understood. This study therefore aims to characterize the main contamination patterns of stormwater sediments. Sediments were sampled from 18 infiltration basins encompassing a diversity of catchments. Eighty-five substances, including metals and six families of organic micropollutants, were targeted, almost all of which were consistently quantified. A significant accumulation relative to baseline levels was ascertained in all sites. The geochemical signature of stormwater sediments was relatively close to that of road dust, but different from continental and marine sediments, revealing the contribution of urban-specific sources of contaminants. Common emission and transfer dynamics were inferred from strong correlations between metals; same observations were made for alkylphenols and the group formed by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, and furans. The predominant land use was generally insufficient to explain the inter-site variability of sediment contamination, which could still be understood from an in-depth study of each catchment and the identification of site-specific emission sources. These results constitute a milestone toward stormwater sediment reuse as a resource.

Current waste management policies favor biogases (digester gases (DGs) and landfill gases (LFGs)) valorization as it becomes a way for energy politics. However, volatile organic silicon compounds (VOSiCs) contained into DGs/LFGs severely damage combustion engines and endanger the conversion into electricity by power plants, resulting in a high purification level requirement. Assessing treatment efficiency is still difficult. No consensus has been reached to provide a standardized sampling and quantification of VOSiCs into gases because of their diversity, their physicochemical properties, and the omnipresence of silicon in analytical chains. Usually, samplings are done by adsorption or absorption and quantification made by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). In this objective, this paper presents and discusses the optimization of a patented method consisting in VOSiCs sampling by absorption of 100% ethanol and quantification of total Si by ICP-OES.

Accelerated degradation tests were performed on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fluids in aqueous solutions and in extreme chemical conditions (pH 2–4 and 9–12). Results confirmed that silicones can be degraded by hydrolysis. Higher degradation levels were achieved in very acidic and alkaline conditions. Degradation products are probably polar siloxanols. In alkaline conditions, the counter-ion was found to have a strong influence on degradation level. Degradation kinetic studies (46 days) were also performed at different pH values. Supposing zeroth-order kinetics, degradation rate constants at 24 °C were estimated to 0.28 mgSi L−1 day−1 in NaOH solution (pH 12), 0.07 mgSi L−1 day−1 in HCl solution (pH 2) and 0.002 mgSi L−1 day−1 in demineralised water (pH 6). From these results, the following hypothesis was drawn: PDMS hydrolysis could occur in wastewater treatment plants and in landfill cells. It may be a first step in the formation of volatile organic silicon compounds (VOSiCs, including siloxanes) in biogas: coupled to biodegradation and (self-) condensation of degradation products, it could finally lead to VOSiCs.

Recently a lot of attention has been focused on volatile organic silicon compounds (VOSiC) present in biogases. They induce costly problems due to silicate formation during biogas combustion in valorisation engine. The cost of converting landfill gas and digester gas into electricity is adversely affected by this undesirable presence. VOSiC in biogases spark off formation of silicate deposits in combustion chambers. They engender abrasion of the inner surfaces leading to serious damage, which causes frequent service interruptions, thus reducing the economic benefit of biogases. It is already known that these VOSiC originate from polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) hydrolysis. PDMS (silicones) are used in a wide range of consumer and industrial applications. PDMS are released into the environment through landfills and wastewater treatment plants. There is a lack of knowledge concerning PDMS biodegradation during waste storage. Consequently, understanding PDMS behaviour in landfill cells and in sludge digester is particularly important. In this article, we focused on microbial degradation of PDMS through laboratory experiments. Preliminary test concerning anaerobic biodegradation of various PDMS have been investigated. Results demonstrate that the biotic step has an obvious influence on PDMS biodegradation.
