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 2016
In this study, performance of ash-free coal (AFC) was evaluated for chemical looping combustion (CLC). Coal is the major source of power generation worldwide and release of ash forming minerals and CO2 emission are the major issues during its combustion. AFC is used in order to get rid of the...

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...

Machine learning-based design and techno-economic assessments of adsorption processes for CO2 capture
DownloadFall 2021
Cyclic adsorption processes are widely considered for various industrial gas separations, including CO2 capture. The flexibility to configure a variety of process cycles is an attractive process design feature of these processes. Despite such flexibility for process design, computationally...

Fall 2013
This work is divided into two parts: (1) Synthesis of amine functionalized adsorbents using grafting technique for post-combustion CO2 capture, (2) Performance evaluation of structured bed configuration with straight gas flow channels using amine impregnated adsorbent for post-combustion CO2...

Synthesis, Characterization of Novel Porous Carbon Materials and Their Application in CO2 Capture
DownloadSpring 2016
This research is aimed at developing novel, porous activated carbon materials that are used for CO2 capture. The research is mainly composed of two parts: synthesis, characterization of novel porous carbons produced via KOH activation; and evaluation of their preliminary CO2 capture performances....
