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,...

Penetration of polyelectrolytes into charged poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) microgel layers confined between two surfaces
Download2013-01-01
Islam, Molla R., Serpe, Michael J.
pH and temperature sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) microgel-based etalons were fabricated by sandwiching a “monolithic” microgel layer between two semitransparent, 15 nm Au layers. The devices exhibit visual color and multipeak reflectance spectra, both of which primarily depend on...

Phase Behavior, Adsorption Behavior and Interfacial Properties of Fluids in Shale Reservoirs
DownloadFall 2018
Shale oil/gas resources are becoming an increasingly important energy resource. Compared to conventional reservoirs, shale generally consists of a large proportion of organic matters. Organic matter is mainly comprised of kerogen, within which a significant amount of nanopores may reside. Due to...

Spring 2013
Coagulation/Flocculation/Sedimentation (CFS), petroleum coke (PC) adsorption, and zero valent iron (ZVI) oxidation-enhanced by PC were applied for the remediation of oil sands process-affected water (OPSW), generated from oil sands operations in northern Alberta, Canada. OSPW is a complex mixture...

Probing Surface Heterogeneity, Electrochemical Properties and Bubble-Solid Interaction Mechanisms of Sulfide Minerals in Flotation
DownloadSpring 2017
The colloidal stability governed by various surface interactions including van der Waals (VDW) interaction, electrical double layer (EDL) interaction, hydrophobic interaction, and some other interactions, plays an important role in a wide range of natural phenomena and engineering applications....

Production and Application of Different Waste-derived Sustainable Materials for the Removal of Naphthenic Acids Related to Oil Sands Process Water
DownloadSpring 2024
Oil sands process water (OSPW) is generated in a large volume during the bitumen extraction process from the oil sands. Naphthenic acids (NAs) are recalcitrant compounds that contribute to the toxicity of OSPW, which need effective treatment before being released into the environment. In the...

Reclamation of Unconventional Oil Processed Water through the Adsorption of Naphthenic Acids by Carbon Xerogel
DownloadFall 2017
This study examines the use of carbon xerogel (CX) material for the adsorption of naphthenic acids (NAs). The adsorption of NAs is crucial for the reclamation of unconventional oil processed water, more specifically Alberta’s oil sands process-affected water (OSPW). CX material is synthesized at...

Regenerable Composites for Removal of Organic Dye in Aqueous Media and Water in Heavy Oil and the Associated Interaction Mechanism
DownloadSpring 2018
Water plays an indispensable role in all aspects of life, including farming, domestic and industrial uses. In industries, water has been extensively applied in mining, production and surface treatment, producing a large quantity of contaminated water that threatens human health, endangers...
