Slurry pipelines are widely utilized in most mining operations to transport the raw materials and the tailings. These pipelines typically suffer from high wear rates. For example, in Canada’s oil sands industry, pipeline wear rates of 1 cm/yr are considered representative. To generate and measure...

Investigation Using Polymer Additives to Mitigate Erosion in Multiphase Turbulent Pipe Flow
DownloadSpring 2019
Long chained polymers were evaluated for their impact on reducing pipe erosion during two-phase flow. The research study was compartmentalized into three categories. One of the components of this study investigated the erosion of different materials in an attempt to find a faster eroding...

Road Erosion, Sediment Delivery, and Consequence in the Simonette Watershed West-Central Alberta
DownloadSpring 2022
Gravel and dirt resource roads in the Alberta foothills are critical economic infrastructure, used to explore for, manage, and extract natural resources from this region. Resource roads are also known to add sediment to nearby streams and rivers, causing habitat stress for fish. Understanding...

Studies on the improvement in wear resistance of WC-Co composites by adding a pseudo-elastic TiNi phase and relevant issues
DownloadSpring 2012
In this study, pseudo-elastic TiNi alloy was added as a second phase to the Co matrix of WC-Co composite, which has found many applications in forms of coating, hardfacing overlay and bulk against wear. It was demonstrated that the added TiNi phase markedly enhanced the wear resistance of...
