Extraction of Carbohydrates and Phenolics from Barley Hull using Pressurized/Subcritical Fluids
DownloadSpring 2013
Canada is one of the largest barley producers, generating barley hull which accounts for 10-13% wt of the grain. Barley hull has valuable components, such as carbohydrates and phenolics. This thesis studied the extraction of total carbohydrates and phenolics from the hull of a new barley variety...

Geomorphic landform design and long-term assessment of tailings storage facilities in the Athabasca oil sands
DownloadFall 2019
In stark contrast to historic mine abandonment, current international best practices in mine reclamation call for geomorphic designs and stability (physical and chemical) for a minimum of 1000 years. Current regulations in Alberta state that post-mining landforms shall be maintenance-free with...

Life cycle water-demand coefficients for conventional oil production from five North American locations
Download2017-01-01
The production of liquid fuels from crude oil requires water. There has been limited focus on the assessment of life cycle water demand footprints for crude oil production and refining. The overall aim of this paper is address this gap. The objective of this research is to develop water demand...

Spring 2013
The mining of oil sands ore and extraction of bitumen produces aqueous slurries containing bitumen, coarse sand and fine clays. The performance of key process units is highly dependent on the rheology of “carrier fluid”, which is comprised of the fine solids and water. Although viscosity is...

SC-CO2 Processing: Extraction, Scale-up and Impregnation of Essential Oil from Mentha × piperita
DownloadFall 2023
Mentha × piperita is an important aromatic plant in the Lamiaceae family with great industrial potential. In the first study, the research aimed to explore the potential of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) to extract essential oil from peppermint leaves as well as evaluate the scale-up of...

Study of biodiesel-assisted ambient aqueous bitumen extraction (BA3BE) for hydrocarbon production from mineable oil sands
DownloadFall 2019
Surface mining followed by Clark’s hot water bitumen extraction (HWBE) process has been employed in the current mineable oil sands industry for massive bitumen production. This method is faced with numerous challenges such as high energy consumption, limited bitumen quality, production from...
