A Model Study on Water Soluble Polymeric Nanofibers for Rapid Flocculation and Enhanced Dewatering of Fine Oil Sands Tailings Simulated Through Kaolin
DownloadFall 2018
Nanofibers are fibers with diameters lower than 100 nm, traditionally made from natural or synthetic polymers. Properties of nanofibers, such as low density, controllable surface functionality, and high surface area to volume ratio, allowed researchers to use them in a multitude of applications...

Fall 2014
This research comprises four integral parts. Each part focuses on one aspect of the general problem of drug delivery by respiration. The morphological features of human respiratory tract, the dynamics of inhaled pharmaceutical particles, and the mechanics of inhaler devices are particularly taken...

Amylopectin-graft-hydrolyzed-poly(methyl acrylate) (AP-g-H-PMA) Flocculants for the Treatment of Oil Sands Tailings
DownloadSpring 2020
The extraction of bitumen from the Alberta oil sands reserves has long been a major economic contributor to the Canadian society, but the impact this industry has had on the environment has raised concerns worldwide. The main problems are how to reclaim the area and reduce the number of tailings...

Application of Coagulation/Flocculation followed by Sedimentation for Treating Urban Combined Sewer Overflows
DownloadFall 2017
Combined Sewer Systems are commonplace in the United States and the major cities in Canada. These systems consist of both sanitary and stormwater lines which, when combined, create the potential for large surges of wastewater during storm conditions known as Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs). CSOs...

Fall 2013
One of the current technologies used by the oil sands industry to reduce the volume of fluid fine tailings and create a dry landscape is production of CT (Composite Tailings) and NST (Non-Segregating Tailings). CT and NST are engineered tailings streams obtained by recombination of fines (MFT or...

Applications of Lime and Enzymes for Oil Sands Tailings Management: Dewatering and Mitigation of Methane Emissions
DownloadSpring 2023
The remediation of oil sands tailings is a crucial environmental aspect of the Canadian oil sands industry. Oil sands tailings management involves the endless storage of massive volumes of fluid fine tailings (FFT). The slow gravity settling of tailings, the release of toxic compounds, and the...

Cationic and Anionic Dual Polymer Pairs for Mature Fine Tailings Flocculation and Dewatering
DownloadSpring 2016
The accumulation of oil sands tailings poses serious environmental issues in Alberta, Canada. In the tailings ponds, the fine clays and residual bitumen form the so-called mature fine tailings (MFT) which contain 30~40 wt% fine solid particles primarily below 44 µm in size, 1~3 wt% residual...

Fall 2010
A study was conducted to evaluate the properties and processes influencing the rate and magnitude of volume decrease and strength gain for oil sand fine tailings resulting from a change in bitumen extraction process (caustic versus non-caustic) and the effect of adding a coagulant to caustic fine...
