This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Spring 2017
Hoseinzadeh Hejazi, Sayed Alireza
High-purity oxygen above 99.0% is required in many medical and industrial applications such as the pharmaceutical and aerospace applications. Due to the similar physical properties of oxygen and argon, this separation is very challenging. Adsorption separation techniques are more preferable to...

Spring 2021
Carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) play a crucial contribution in reducing CO2 emissions and obtaining net-zero emission by 2050. Adsorbent-based technology offers an opportunity to separate CO2 under mild regeneration conditions. However, low CO2 concentration and water vapour in the...

Carbon dioxide capture using adsorption based separation processes has shown promise but has not been exploited to full potential to be implemented on a commercial scale. This thesis examines two key stages in the development of adsorption based carbon dioxide capture processes, namely adsorbent...

Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) processes are an industrially mature low energy consumption pathway for gas separations. Due to their performance being linked to the separation media, they provide an additional degree of freedom for process design. They are difficult to accurately model due to...
