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...

Spring 2012
Modelling of solvent extraction was studied using 1,2,3,4–tetrahydronaphtalene (tetralin) and Poplar coal (lignite). A kinetic model was developed taking into account temperature, mass transfer limitations and dominating events (physical or chemical) during coal liquefaction. It was found there...

Molecular Dynamics Study on CO2 Storage in Water-Filled Kerogen Nanopores in Shale Reservoirs: Effects of Kerogen Maturity and Pore Size
Download2020-12-21
Li, Wenhui, Zhang, Mingshan, Nan, Yiling, Pang, Wanying, Jin, Zhehui
CO2 sequestration in shale reservoirs is an economically viable option to alleviate carbon emission. Kerogen, a major component in the organic matter in shale, is associated with a large number of nanopores, which might be filled with water. However, the CO2 storage mechanism and capacity in...

Novel feed enzyme delivery method: Binding exogenous feed enzymes to Bacillus spores to improve enzyme stability and total tract digestibility
DownloadFall 2018
The effects of binding feed enzymes to Bacillus subtilis (strain RK28) spores on enzyme stability and digestion in cattle were studied in comparison to unbound enzymes. Optimal conditions for adsorbing six different enzymes (α-amylase, β-glucanase, feruloyl esterase, phytase, purified xylanase,...

Observations on the dispersal of saline groundwater in the Beaver Creek Diversion system, 1976-1978
Download1979
Killworth, P.D., Carmack, E.C.
The dispersal of saline groundwater in the Beaver Creek Diversion System is described using data from a two-year physical limnology monitor of the system. Emphasis is placed on processes influencing temporal and spatial patterns in circulation, stratification and saline water distributions....

Patterns of glass sponge (Porifera, Hexactinellida) distribution in coastal waters of British Columbia, Canad
Download2004
Leys, S.P., Holeton, C., Reiswig, H.M., Tunnicliffe, V., Austin, W.C., Wilson, K.
Glass sponges are enigmatic members of the deep-sea fauna that inhabit shallow waters in only a few locations world-wide. In order to understand what factors influence the distribution of glass sponges, patterns of distribution and abundance of reef and non-reef forming hexactinellids in fjords...

Patterns of stream temperature and the influence of groundwater in northern Rocky Mountain watersheds
DownloadFall 2023
Stream temperature is an important water quality parameter linked to biotic and abiotic processes that influence the abundance and distribution of aquatic organisms. Stream temperatures can be highly variable through space and time and are determined by energy flux processes. Key energy flux...
