Au cours des dernières décennies, une grande variété de pesticides émergents, tels que le chlorantraniliprole (CAP), ont été introduits malgré le manque de connaissance approfondie de leur risque écotoxicologique. Les marais filtrants (TW) sont des technologies écologiques et durables qui ont montré un grand potentiel d’atténuation des polluants agricoles communs, tels que les pesticides dans le ruissellement. L’objectif de cette étude était d’optimiser l’utilisation du marais filtrant sous-surfacique à écoulement horizontal (HSSF) en déterminant: a) l'effet d’un amendement de biochar au substrat et b) la performance de trois espèces de macrophytes (Phragmites australis subsp. americanus, Scirpus cyperinus et Sporobolus michauxianus) dans l'abattement du CAP du ruissellement agricole. L'efficacité d'abattement a été calculée en utilisant la méthode du bilan de masse dans des mésocosmes HSSF matures alimentés avec un ruissellement agricole synthétique contenant du CAP pendant une période d'un mois. Les mésocosmes avec l’ajout de biochar se sont avérés très efficaces dans l’abattement du CAP (90 à 99%) et ils le sont restés tout au long de la période expérimentale. Cette efficacité est probablement due à la grande capacité d’adsorption du biochar, bien que ce mécanisme n’ait pas été directement mesuré. En revanche, l'abattement du CAP dans les mésocosmes plantés sans biochar était faible et limité et il n’y avait pas de différence entre les espèces, bien qu’elles aient eu des différences dans leur biomasse aérienne et leur taux d'évapotranspiration (ET). Cependant, les traitements plantés ont agi comme zone tampon, en atténuant la masse du CAP de l'influent et en la libérant lentement dans l'effluent. Le taux d'ET de Scirpus et Phragmites était plus élevé que celui de Sporobolus, ce qui s’est traduit par un meilleur effet tampon. Cette étude suggère que l'ajout de biochar au substrat HSSF TW est prometteur pour l'atténuation du CAP dans le ruissellement agricole, mais leur efficacité à long terme reste à être étudiée. Malgré tout, les TW devraient être utilisés comme un outil complémentaire, dans le cadre d'actions plus larges visant à réduire la pression des polluants sur les écosystèmes aquatiques. / Over the past decades, a wide variety of emergent pesticides, such as chlorantraniliprole (CAP), have been introduced despite the lack of in-depth knowledge of their ecotoxicological risk. Treatment wetlands (TWs) are environmentally friendly and sustainable technologies that have shown great potential to mitigate common agricultural pollutants, such as pesticides in runoff. The objective of this study was to optimize the use of the horizontal subsurface flow treatment wetlands (HSSF TWs) by determining a) the effect of biochar amendment to the substrate and b) the performance of three species of macrophytes (Phragmites australis subsp. americanus, Scirpus cyperinus and Sporobolus michauxianus) in CAP removal from agricultural runoff. The removal efficiency was calculated using the mass balance method in mature HSSF mesocosms fed with synthetic agricultural runoff containing CAP for a period of one month. Mesocosms with the addition of biochar were very effective in removing CAP (90-99%) and remained so throughout the experimental period. This efficiency is likely due to the high adsorption capacity of biochar, although this mechanism has not been directly measured. In contrast, CAP removal in mesocosms planted without biochar was low and limited and there was no difference between species, although there were differences in their above-ground biomass and their evapotranspiration (ET) rate. However, the planted mesocosms acted as buffer zones, reducing the CAP mass of the influent and slowly releasing it into the discharge. The ET rate of S. cyperinus and P. australis was higher than that of S. michauxianus, resulting in a better buffering effect. This study suggests that adding biochar to the HSSF TW substrate is promising for CAP attenuation in agricultural runoff, but their long-term effectiveness remains to be investigated. Nevertheless, TWs should be used as a complementary tool, as part of wider actions aimed at reducing the pressure of pollutants on aquatic ecosystems.

An effective procedure and parameter window was developed for underwater friction stir welding (UWFSW) 304L stainless steel with a PCBN tool. UWFSW produced statistically significant: increases in yield strengths, decreases in percent elongation. The ultimate tensile strength was found to be significantly higher at certain parameters. Although sigma was identified in the UWFSWs, a significant reduction of sigma was found in UWFSWs compared to ambient FSWs. The degree of sensitization in UWFSWs was evaluated using double loop EPR testing and oxalic acid electro-etched metallography. Results were compared to base metal, ambient FSW, and arc welds. Upper and lower sensitization localization bands were identified in the UWFSWs. Although higher sensitization levels were present in UWFSWs compared to the arc weld, ambient FSW, and heat treated base metals, the UWFSWs were found less susceptible to corrosion than arc welds due to the subsurface location of the sensitization bands. A SCC analysis of UWFSWs relative to base metal and arc weldments was performed. U-bends were exposed to two 3.5% NaCl cyclic immersion experiments at 21 °C and 63 °C for 1000 hours each. A tertiary test was conducted in a 25% NaCl boiling solution. The UWFSW u-bends were no more susceptible to SCC than base metal in the cyclic immersion tests. In the boiling NaCl test, the SCC of the UWFSWs showed significant improvement over the SCC of arc welds. Arc u-bends cracked entirely within the weld bead and HAZ, while SCC in the UWFSWs showed no cracking localization.
