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.

Anaerobic Ammonia Oxidation (ANAMMOX) processes for Ammonium-rich Lagoon Supernatant Treatment
DownloadFall 2020
Ammonium-N and phosphate-P-rich anaerobic digester sludge liquor recovered during sewage sludge dewatering contributes more than 30% of the total nitrogen loading when returned to the municipal wastewater plant. Hence, side stream treatment could offer an economic alternative given its relatively...

Fall 2022
ABSTRACT Benzene is a priority contaminant that is commonly coincident with fossil fuel entities, whether natural or anthropogenic, and is characterized by high mobility and toxicity. In Alberta, Canada, where oil and gas production comprises much of the provincial industrial output,...

Fall 2019
The environmental presence of benzene is mostly attributed to anthropogenic activities related to the oil and gas sector and industrial production. While intrinsic bioremediation with microbial organisms is an attractive remediation option due to its minimal maintenance, low cost, and...

Anaerobic Co-digestion of Municipal Sewage Sludge with Selected Commercial and Industrial Organic Wastes
DownloadFall 2014
The overall goal of this research was to investigate the anaerobic co-digestion of municipal sewage sludge with selected organic wastes in three main areas: (1) to determine the maximum feasible loading of co-substrate, (2) to calibrate the ADM1 model for co-digestion system at steady state, and...

Fall 2011
Anaerobic codigestion of municipal wastewater sludge and restaurant grease was investigated in a semi-continuous lab-scale digestion experiment under mesophilic conditions (37 °C). Compared to the control digester, chemical oxygen demand (COD) loading rate for test digester was elevated to 387%...

Spring 2014
The objective of this study was to determine if there was any difference in the bioremediation of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) and to quantify and identify bacteria present in different scenarios. Two reactors were compared in this study: an acetic acid amended OSPW bioreactor, (AAAO...

Fall 2020
New sanitation is developed based on wastewater source-diversion and on-site treatment to maximize resource recovery from domestic wastewater. Blackwater stream collected from toilets is rich in organics and nutrients, and the rest greywater stream contains major water content. The primary...

Analysis and Comparison of Experimental Tests of Barrier-Deck Slab Overhang Structures Using Steel and GFRP Reinforcement
DownloadSpring 2024
Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymers (GFRP) have been commonly used as external or internal reinforcement of repaired or sound structures for some time in North America. GFRP-reinforced concrete (RC) technology has been implemented in bridge components like decks and barriers whose exposure to harsh...

Fall 2017
An unconventional slope stabilization technique locally known in Alberta as “Hardy Ribs” or “Hardy Walls” was implemented by Canadian National Railway Company (CN) to stabilize a very slow moving landslide. This site is located along the Assiniboine River valley in western Manitoba at CN Mile...

Fall 2023
Critical point calculations are a topic of great importance and a fundamental part of classical thermodynamics. While the basis of this field is hundreds of years old, the effective handling of complex, multicomponent fluid mixtures has been an ongoing area of study over the past 50 years. Two...
