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.

An Investigation of Millerite (beta-NiS) Flotation Behaviour in Alkaline Solutions in Cu-Ni Sulphide Mineral Flotation Separation
DownloadFall 2021
In the Sudbury Basin nickel deposit, the presence of a less common nickel sulphide mineral – millerite (beta-NiS) has a substantial impact on the Cu/Ni flotation separation efficiency. In this study, the flotation chemistry of millerite in alkaline solutions was investigated with pure minerals...

Fall 2015
In this study, the flotation behaviors of chalcopyrite and pyrite single and mixed minerals in Milli-Q water, NaCl solution, and sea water were investigated. The performance of different collectors was evaluated. Collectorless flotation was also studied under potentiostatic control to explore the...

Fall 2019
In nature, the molybdenite ores are frequently associated with copper sulfide minerals such as chalcopyrite, and the flotation separation of copper-molybdenum (Cu-Mo) sulfides largely relies on the use of toxic and hazardous depressants such as cyanides, Na2S/NaHS. It is desired to replace these...

The Effect of High Intensity Conditioning on Surface Oxidation with Processed Sudbury Nickel Ore
DownloadFall 2019
In the Sudbury Basin, froth flotation is commonly used to recover Pentlandite (Pn), and Chalcopyrite (Cp), while rejecting Pyrrhotite (Po), and other gangue minerals typically found in the region. However, as the sulfide minerals flow through the plant the surfaces continually oxidize, allowing...
