Spring 2015
Separation of ethane and heavier hydrocarbons from natural gas stream is a major topic in petrochemical industry due to the increase in Natural gas reserves in North America. Natural gas liquids are frequently separated using a cryogenic distillation process, which is able to separate all the C3+...

Fixed beds are widely used in the chemical and process industry due to their simple yet effective performance. They find applications in heterogeneous catalysis (e.g., dry reforming of methane, methanol synthesis, etc.) and in adsorption (hydrogen from steam methane reforming, post-combustion CO2...

Hoseinzadeh Hejazi, Sayed Alireza
High-purity oxygen above 99.0% is required in many medical and industrial applications such as the pharmaceutical and aerospace applications. Due to the similar physical properties of oxygen and argon, this separation is very challenging. Adsorption separation techniques are more preferable to...

Carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) play a crucial contribution in reducing CO2 emissions and obtaining net-zero emission by 2050. Adsorbent-based technology offers an opportunity to separate CO2 under mild regeneration conditions. However, low CO2 concentration and water vapour in the...

Investigation of the Adsorption of Model and Oil Sands Process-Affected Water Naphthenic Acids on Graphite
DownloadSpring 2015
Naphthenic acids (NAs) are constituents of bitumen in the oil sands deposits in northern Alberta, Canada. The extraction process of bitumen creates an enormous amount of wastewater called oil sands process affected waters (OSPW). This OSPW contains elevated concentrations of NAs, and other...

Long-term Performance of Activated Carbon in Cyclic Adsorption/Regeneration of VOCs: Experimental and Modeling Investigation of Fixed Bed Adsorber
DownloadSpring 2022
Activated carbon (AC) has attracted tremendous interest in adsorption-based air treatment. Nonetheless, a major challenge associated with the use of ACs is the decline in adsorption capacity with time due to heel build-up (i.e., accumulation of non-desorbed species). Designing a reliable...

Fall 2015
Carbon dioxide capture using adsorption based separation processes has shown promise but has not been exploited to full potential to be implemented on a commercial scale. This thesis examines two key stages in the development of adsorption based carbon dioxide capture processes, namely adsorbent...

Microbead-assisted high resolution microwave planar ring resonator for organic-vapor sensing
Download2015-01-01
Zarifi, Mohammad H., Fayaz, Mohammadreza, Goldthorp, Jordan, Abdolrazzaghi, Mohammad, Hashisho, Zaher, Daneshmand, Mojgan
A microbead-assisted planar microwave resonator for organic vaporsensing applications is presented. The core of this sensor is a planarmicrostrip split-ring resonator, integrated with an active feedback loop to enhance the initial quality factor from 200 to ∼1 M at an operational resonance...

Modeling the Performance and Hydrodynamic Behavior of a Countercurrent Multistage Fluidized Bed Adsorber
DownloadSpring 2021
Fluidized bed (FB) adsorbers provide excellent gas-solid contact at low pressure drops which allows for effective handling of large flow rates. However, the design, operation, and modeling of FB adsorbers could be challenging due to the complex processes involved. The goal of this research is to...
