Probing the Molecular Interactions of an Asphaltene Model Compound in Organic Solvents and Aqueous Solutions by Surface Forces Apparatus (SFA)
DownloadSpring 2012
A fundamental understanding of the molecular interactions between asphaltene molecules in bulk and at oil-water interface is of great value in crude oil production. Yet, the chemical composition and molecular structures of asphaltenes are not fully understood. The objective of this study is to...

Probing the Molecular Interactions of Asphaltenes in Organic Solvents Using a Surface Forces Apparatus
DownloadSpring 2014
A fundamental understanding of the stability of water-in-bitumen emulsions stabilized by surface active agents requires a good description of the molecular interactions between the different materials in contact. Of these surface active agents, asphaltenes and oil contaminated fine solids are...

Probing the Surface Interaction Mechanisms of Air Bubbles and Oil Droplets with Hydrophobic Polymers, Asphaltenes and Bitumen
DownloadSpring 2023
Interfacial interactions among solid particles, gas bubbles and liquid drops play a critical role in numerous interfacial phenomena and biophysical and industrial processes, such as drug and gene delivery in biological systems, froth flotation and oil/water separation in mining and oil extraction...

Promoting Influence of Doping Indium into BaCe0.5Zr0.3Y0.2O3- δ on the Chemical Stability, Sinterability and Electrical Properties
DownloadFall 2014
The application of BaCe1-x-yZrxYyO3-δ series solid proton conductors in SOFCs is restricted by the trade-off among the chemical stability, sinterability and electrical conductivity under SOFCs operating conditions. The present research attempted to enhance the chemical stability, sinterability...

Fall 2012
Selective ring opening of naphthenic compounds is a preferred reaction to increase cetane number of fuels. Indan ring opening was studied using both structured and powdered catalysts. A structured support of Sintered Metal Fibers (SMF) filter materials (FeCrAl alloy) was surface-oxidized to form...

Protecting Worker Safety in Alberta by Enhancing Hazard Identification and Control for Hazards Associated with Tailings Facilities, Dams, and Systems
DownloadSpring 2019
My research was motivated by a fatality that occurred at an oil sands tailings operation on January 19, 2014, when a worker drowned in an underground cavern which formed under a leaking tailings transport system. At the time of the incident, the organization and workers did not know that ground...

Protective/Conductive Coatings for Ferritic Stainless Steel Interconnects Used in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
DownloadFall 2009
Ferritic stainless steels are the most commonly used materials for solid oxide fuel cell interconnect application. Although these alloys may meet the criteria for interconnect application for short periods of service, their application is limited for long-term use (i.e., 40,000 h) due to poor...
