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.

Fall 2014
In today’s vehicle applications, Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) ammonia dosing is completed using complex control algorithms that need to be parameterized for the individual catalytic converter technology. The parameterization of these control strategies is not always completed during the...

Spring 2010
Catalytic combustion provides us an efficient approach for the utilization and mitigation of methane, the major component of natural gas as well as an important greenhouse gas in global warming. From the research of catalytic combustion of methane, better understandings as well as solutions to...

Fall 2015
The majority of industrial chemical rectors are based on the packed bed reactor. This is the main reason why these types of reactors have been a subject of so many investigations. They are primarily used because of their simplicity at the moment of their design, build and operation (Hayes, 2013)....

Development and Implementation a Methodology for the Production of Dimethyl Ether from Methanol by Catalytic Distillation
DownloadFall 2013
This study reports on the development of a coherent solution methodology for the production of Dimethyl Ether (DME) from methanol using catalytic distillation. The validation and confidence of the Aspen Plus simulation results is first tested by simulating a catalyst distillation process for...

Fall 2011
Using data from artificial gas mixtures, global kinetic models for a platinum diesel oxidation catalyst are developed. The modelling of CO and C3H6 was inspired by the classical work of Voltz et al.[1], while the modelling of NO and C3H6 was based on the earlier work of Pandya[2], Mulla et...

Fall 2015
Natural-gas fuelled catalytic heaters are commonly used in heating industrial space and remote location operations. Industrial units typically contain platinum that provides methane combustion at lower temperatures than non-catalytic burning. This work aimed to find a cost-efficient alternative...

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Mechanistic Model Development and Application over a Cu-CHA Catalyst
DownloadFall 2018
Mechanistic proposals for the different selective catalytic reduction (SCR) subreactions are integrated into one surface reaction mechanism that describes the main SCR reactions (Standard SCR, Fast SCR, NO2 SCR), transient effects due to nitrate storage, as well as the production of the side...

Fall 2018
Due to its low cost, abundance and lower emissions compared to gasoline and diesel, there is a resurgence of interest in using natural gas as a transportation fuel. However, although the combustion of natural gas produces comparably less greenhouse gases (GHGs) and pollutants, CH4 itself is a...
