Studying the Molecular Structure of Aqueous/Mineral Oxide Interfaces by Vibrational Sum Frequency Generation Spectroscopy and Zeta Potential Measurements
DownloadFall 2021
Water/mineral oxide interfaces are ubiquitous in various atmospheric, geological, biological, and industrial systems. Hence, studying such abundant interfaces is essential for understanding the macroscopic interfacial reactions, such as adsorption/desorption, dissolution, flocculation,...

Synthesis and Characterization of Electrospun Activated Carbon Nanofibers Reinforced with Cellulose Nanocrystals for Adsorption Applications
DownloadFall 2019
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are emerging nanomaterials with desirable characteristics including biodegradability, renewable sources, high aspect ratios, high surface area, and high strength. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is the most commonly used polymer precursor for electrospinning due to its high...

Synthesis of surface water hydrology
1979
The drainage system of the study area consists of a number of rivers draining from the west and from the east into the Athabasca River north of Fort McMurray, as well as a few rivers which join the Athabasca near Fort McMurray and drain areas to the south and east. Runoff from within the study...

Tailoring Molecular Sievesâ Dielectric and Electric Properties for Efficient Microwave and Resistive Heating Regeneration
DownloadSpring 2018
Adsorption onto molecular sieve adsorbents is a well-developed technique in the industry for gaseous pollutants emission control. Loaded adsorbents must then be regenerated for reuse in further adsorption cycles. Microwave and resistive heating have been introduced as potential alternatives to...

Giles, M. A., Lawrence, S. G., Klaverkamp, J. F.
In order to conduct oil sands mining operations in the surface mining region of the Athabasca oil sands deposits, most regions require depressurization of the basal sandstone formations. The groundwater produced by depressurization operations is of poor enough quality to be toxic to fish. The...

The Behaviour and Interactions of the Silica/Water Interface Studied through Nonlinear Optics
DownloadFall 2020
The chemistry of silica in contact with water is rich and diverse. These two substances are among the most ubiquitous on the surface of the Earth. Yet, despite many investigations into the interactions between silica and water, there is still more to discover. In aqueous solution, the silica...
