Spring 2016
A technique to visualize miscible displacement in porous media using laser and the analysis of the results for different processes are presented in this thesis. After saturating the model made of different sized glass beads with oil, solvent was introduced either under dynamic (injection and...

A Molecular Dynamics Approach towards the Interfacial Properties of Sulfide- and Clay-Minerals
DownloadSpring 2019
Interfacial properties have a regulatory role in processes which involve the coexistence of different phases. Although such macro-scale properties are determined by the intrinsic nature of the interface-sharing phases, it is possible to alter them in favor of the process objectives. This,...

A multiple case history and systematic review of adoption, diffusion, implementation and impact of provincial daily physical activity policies in Canadian schools
Download2015-01-01
Olstad, D. L., Campbell, E. J., Raine, K. D., Nykiforuk, Candace I.J.
Background: Few children meet physical activity (PA) recommendations, and are therefore at increased risk for overweight/obesity and adverse health outcomes. To increase children’s opportunities for PA, several Canadian provinces have adopted school-based daily PA (DPA) policies. It is not clear...

Mitambo, Mitambo M., Zhang, Shuliang L., Loppnow, Glen R.
A novel four nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-tube holder is described for quantitative Raman and resonance Raman spectroscopy. This cell has advantages over other divided cell designs in producing high precision quantitation and eliminating off-axis errors. Raman spectra were obtained for both...

Activation of Delayed and Fluid Petroleum Coke for the Adsorption and Removal of Naphthenic Acids from Oil Sands Tailings Pond Water
DownloadSpring 2011
Oil sands companies produce substantial quantities of tailings known to contain high concentrations of dissolved organic by-products. The use of petroleum coke was proposed as a potential adsorbent for organic contaminant removal from tailings pond water. Physical activation was used to create a...

Two separations are necessary to enable the post-combustion capture of CO2. The fraction of CO2 in a flue gas stream must first be separated from the diluents present and then the concentrated stream of CO2 must be thoroughly dried in order for it to be compressed for sequestration. This work...

Adsorbents for the Removal of Naphthenic Acids from Oil Sands Process Water: Investigation of Reclamation Materials from Surface Mining of Oil Sands and Development of Biochars from Biological Sludge and Peat
DownloadSpring 2023
Crominski da Silva Medeiros, Deborah C.
Oil sands process water (OSPW) is generated in high quantities during the extraction of the bitumen from the oil sands. Naphthenic acids (NAs) are recalcitrant compounds, corresponding more than 50% of all organics in OSPW. The efficient management of OSPW is of importance to guarantee efficient...

Fall 2017
High pressure carbon dioxide adsorption processes are employed in applications such as carbon dioxide capture and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). Carbon dioxide capture using adsorption has gained wide attention because of the promising materials that are developed for this application....

Adsorption and Microwave Regeneration for Controlling Volatile Organic Compounds Emissions from Automotive Paint Booths
DownloadFall 2016
Adsorption is a widely used method for control of organic compounds produced during painting operations. After adsorption, the loaded adsorbent should be regenerated to recover the adsorbates and reuse the adsorbent for subsequent adsorption/regeneration cycles. Accumulation of non-desorbed...

Biochar is a stabilized carbon with porous structure that can be used as an economical adsorbent for wastewater treatment. Since there are numerous types of biochars, it is important to understand how biochar characteristics influence adsorption performance by selecting or customizing biochars...
