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.

Vilchez Athanasopulos, Andrea Carolina
Functional food products are formulated with added ingredients that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition function. However, there are different challenges in the manufacturing of these products with fat-soluble vitamins, such as, vitamin D3 (VitD3), an essential nutrient responsible for...

High purity microporous vanadosilicate (EVS-10/AM-6) has been hydrothermally synthesized by a simple template-free, reducing agent-free method in the absence of titanosilicate ETS-10 seeds. Direct comparison between EVS-10 and ETS-10 showed successful isomorphous substitution of titanium with...

Adsorptive Removal of CO2 by Amine Functionalized Sorbents: Experimental and Kinetics Study
DownloadFall 2012
Adsorption processes using functionalized ordered mesoprous silica sorbents have shown a great potential for post-combustion CO2 capture from flue gas. In this work an experimental and theoretical investigation was conducted on the adsorptive removal of CO2 onto amine functionalized mesoporous...

Magnowski, Nicholas Brooks Kenneth
The natural gas industry recognises that the need for removal of CH4 from C2H6 feedstock C2H4 production and utilization. CH4 being a contaminant in the production of C2H4 and furthermore in the production of polymers from C2H4. Dethanizers in gas processing plants are energy intensive and...

Titanosilicate has unique properties in adsorptive separations such as air separations. In this study, Ag-ETS-10 was investigated for argon free oxygen production. During laboratory scale breakthrough experiments high purity (99.7+%) oxygen was produced at 100 kPa and 25 °C, with a recovery rate...
