Who we are:

Founded in 1843 in Alès, the École nationale supérieure des mines d'Alès (IMT Mines Alès) is one of the 10 engineering schools with the longest history in France. Founded under Louis-Philippe to train executives for the mining industry, the school has constantly developed and adapted to changes in industry and society.

Today, it is a leading multi-disciplinary engineering school whose influence is recognized in the major national and international higher education rankings. Its motto is: "Science and creativity to invent a sustainable world".

It has been a member of Institut Mines-Télécom (IMT) since 2017, the largest engineering training group in France.

What we do:

Air-related research projects :

  • ADEME QAI-Sport (Indoor air quality in sports halls)
  • ADEME RESPAL (Impact of indoor air pollutants on respiratory health)
  • EMAMET: "Biological and chemical atmospheric emissions from the methanization process
  • LABCOM So Ph'Air (Solutions for Pheromones Analysis in Air)

Keywords: Air quality, VOC, Odor, Microorganisms, Industrial emissions, rendering, composting, methanization, VOC, VOSC, Material-air exchange, Emission, sorption, Indoor air quality, Pheromone, Biocontrol

Instrumental and digital devices:

PAQMAN platform: To provide answers to the issues raised by various air quality management research projects, the platform relies on two high-performance, complementary instruments dedicated to the sensitive, high-performance measurement of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in indoor and outdoor air:

  • Thermodesorber/gas chromatography/mass spectrometry/sniffer combination (TD-GC-MS-O) for high-performance characterization of VOCs in various gaseous matrices, and
  • Proton resonance mass spectrometer (PTR-TOF-MS) for real-time measurement and monitoring of VOCs in indoor and outdoor air.

ALCOVES platform: the result of collaboration between IMT Mines Alès and the IPREM (UMR 5254 CNRS) and UT2A (Ultra Traces Analyses Aquitaine) laboratories.

Its objectives are to respond to various challenges wherever the measurement of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Semi-volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) is relevant and necessary, particularly in the following sectors:

  • Innovative materials (bio-sourced, etc.)
  • Technologies and materials for improving air quality
  • Oxidative processes: air or water treatment
  • New substances and emerging pollutants (new additives, etc.)
  • Help in choosing materials to improve indoor air quality in new building systems
