The Role of High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Oxide in Reducing Quartz Gangue Entrainment in Chalcopyrite Flotation by Xanthate Collectors
DownloadFall 2011
Fine particles pose two challenging problems to all mineral processors around the world today. The problems are the inefficient collection of hydrophobic particles (low recovery), and mechanical/hydraulic entrainment of hydrophilic gangue particles (low concentrate grade). Extensive research has...

The Role of Sulfur during the Cracking of n-Hexadecane and Cold Lake Bitumen with alpha-Fe2O3 and Steam
DownloadSpring 2013
Coke produced during bitumen upgrading has a high heteroatom content and low economic value. To improve feed efficiency, cracking of hexadecane and bitumen with α-Fe2O3 and water has been studied to decrease coke yield, while increasing sulfur content. Compared to thermal cracking, catalytic...

The Role of Sulfur Species in Establishing the Corrosion Reactions in Refinery Metallurgies
DownloadSpring 2016
This thesis is focused on the studying the role that model sulfur-containing molecules have in corrosion reactions on relevant metallurgies. This was done by using a design of experiments where a number of sulfur-based compounds were reacted with various metallurgies. The 8 model sulfur compounds...

The Roles of Constituent Minerals and Residual Bitumen in the Filtration of Alberta Oil Sands Tailings
DownloadFall 2022
The dewatering of Alberta oil sands tailings is one of the most challenging problems faced by the oil sands industry. Despite significant efforts in the past several decades, the industry still lacks viable technologies that can quickly dewater and reclaim the oil sands tailings and eliminate...

Spring 2019
Oil-assisted flotation is one of the most promising techniques in fine mineral particle recovery in the beneficiation of low-grade finely-disseminated ores. However, literature reports show that when non-polar oil is used in conjunction with different types of collectors, the flotation response...

Spring 2011
Scratch test and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) were applied to study the effects of thiosulfate on stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of Alloy 800 in simulated crevice solutions. The results showed that thiosulfate cathodically shifted the pitting potential of Alloy 800 significantly...

The Study of the Corrosion Behavior of Gas Nitriding Treated L80 Steel in Simulated Environment for the Slotted Liners of SAGD
DownloadSpring 2016
The oil sand in Alberta province is mainly extracted by Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) technique which employs the slotted liners as the primary sand screening system. However, the slotted liners made of L80 carbon steel suffer from severe corrosion and erosion problems in the downhole...
