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.

A Study for Leaching Synthetic Scheelite in H2SO4 And H2O2 Solution: An Investigation and Optimization
DownloadFall 2023
Canada's 2021 Critical Minerals Strategy underscores the prominence of tungsten as a rare and critical element. Today, tungsten production relies on scheelite, categorized as a secondary resource due to its complex ore composition and lower-grade nature. This phenomenon stems from the depletion...

Corrosivity and Thermal Stability of Biocrude Oil for Co-Processing in FCC Feedlines: An Investigation and Risk Assessment
DownloadSpring 2023
Fast pyrolysis bio-oil is a promising renewable energy source derived from biomass. However, its high corrosivity and poor thermal stability have limited its widespread use as a drop-in fuel. One promising method for transforming low-quality biocrudes into drop-in fuels is co-processing with...

Effect of Mechanical Loading Conditions on Near-neutral pH Stress Corrosion Cracking (NNpHSCC) Initiation and Early-stage Growth for Bent Pipeline
DownloadFall 2023
Near-neutral pH Stress Corrosion Cracking (NNpHSCC) continues causing failures of steel pipelines despite the use of preventative measures such as protective coating and cathodic protection. In pipelines with bends, the issue is more profound as stress is concentrated around the bends and the...

Fall 2024
Bio-oil (BO) is a promising and renewable energy source that could alleviate dependence on fossil fuels, but its direct use faces challenges due to low thermal stability and high corrosiveness. Co-processing BO with vacuum gas oil (VGO) in existing refineries offers a solution without requiring...
