Adsorptive Removal of CO2 by Amine Functionalized Sorbents: Experimental and Kinetics Study
DownloadFall 2012
Adsorption processes using functionalized ordered mesoprous silica sorbents have shown a great potential for post-combustion CO2 capture from flue gas. In this work an experimental and theoretical investigation was conducted on the adsorptive removal of CO2 onto amine functionalized mesoporous...

The natural gas industry recognises that the need for removal of CH4 from C2H6 feedstock C2H4 production and utilization. CH4 being a contaminant in the production of C2H4 and furthermore in the production of polymers from C2H4. Dethanizers in gas processing plants are energy intensive and...

The objective of this research was to develop new molecular sieve materials and to examine their applications in adsorptive gas separation processes. Several techniques to modify zeolite molecular sieve materials were developed, including a new pore size control mechanism and novel surface...

Poor settling of solids increases land requirement for tailings containment and imposes severe constraints on the water balance. Consequent to these considerations, the alternating current electrocoagulation (AC/EC) technique emerged as a candidate for enhancing the settling behaviour of...

In the development of a numerical model for the water cycle on Mars, adsorption of water vapour in the Martian regolith acts as a significant sink and retards the transport of mass. Adsorption on Mars cannot be studied directly, so a numerical model was created, and a diffusion sorption...

Application of Anoxic-Aerobic Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs) for Oil Sands Process-Affected Water (OSPW) Treatment
DownloadFall 2016
The enormous volumes of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) produced during oil sands bitumen extraction have been a public concern due to the toxicity and persistence of the organic contaminants contained in the water. Among all the contaminants in OSPW, naphthenic acids (NAs) are regarded...

Application of Ozone and Peroxone Processes for Naphthenic Acids Degradation in Oil Sands Process-Affected Water: Characterization of Water Before and After Treatment
DownloadFall 2017
Appling ozone (O3) with high doses (>100 mg/L) to remove naphthenic acids (NAs) from oil sands process-affected water (OSPW); limits its application and feasibility in the OSPW remediation. To decrease the required doses and their associated costs, this study examined the application of ozone...

Characterization of copper supported on titanosilicates for room temperature H2S adsorption
DownloadSpring 2012
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a major contaminant of industrial gas streams. Amongst the various methods used for its removal, adsorption by metal oxides is the most promising. Copper oxide (CuO) is shown to have superior H2S removal capability at room temperature. H2S removal at room...

Anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions are driving climate change. The largest sources of emitted carbon dioxide are coal and fossil fuel power plants. One proposed solution to mitigate emissions is to capture carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants and store it underground. This is the...
