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.

Developing a novel filter material for protective gears for health care (COVID -19) from BCTMP (Bleached Chemi-Thermo-Mechanical Pulp)
DownloadFall 2021
Under the background of COVID-19 global pandemic, personal protective equipment (PPE), especially masks, has been highly demanded. Also, this high requirement has resulted in ocean pollution since the main material, polypropylene, is non-biodegradable and expensive. The production processes are...

Experimental and numerical verifications of new methods to predict gasification kinetics of char from MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) components using the TGA
DownloadFall 2021
Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA) is a standard state-of-the-art instrument used for investigating char gasification kinetics. However, one major flaw of the TGA is the build-up of a stagnant gas region between the empty space of the crucible mouth and the char sample layer which leads to poor...

Spring 2013
Abundance of low rank coal and increasing demand for energy provide an incentive for upgrading the low rank coal due to their high moisture and oxygen content. Various analyses were done to study the effect of the hydrothermal treatment on the physical and chemical structure of coal. Treatment of...

Fall 2020
The oil sands reserves in Northern Alberta is the primary energy source for many consumers. The production of saleable oil sands generates large amounts of tailings waters, which are stored in dykes or ponds due to the zero-discharge policy. As global demand increases, oil production increases,...

Spring 2017
Because of the increasing curiosity in the effectiveness of Underground Coal Gasification-Carbon Capturing and Storage (UCG-CCS) sites for carbon sequestration, an urge for a new line of research has emerged to measure the amount of CO2 adsorption in gasified coal as a potential long-term...
