Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects millions of people throughout the world today. One of the major side effects of this disease is the inability to regulate the body’s red blood cell production, and subsequently the mass of the protein called hemoglobin within the body. The health of these...

Modeling and optimization of adsorption-based separation systems for improved process performance
DownloadFall 2019
This thesis focuses on two different separation processes based on adsorption. The first part focuses on column chromatography and simulated moving bed (SMB) operations for liquid phase separations. The second part focuses on the separation of gas mixtures for carbon dioxide capture...

Modeling and Optimization of CO2 Fixation using Microalgae Cultivated in Oil Sands Process Water
DownloadSpring 2015
Biological fixation of CO2 using microalgae is a potential CO2 reduction strategy which can be applied to the oil sands operations in Alberta. These operations also produce large amounts of oil sands process water (OSPW), which can act as a growth medium for the microalgae. In this thesis, three...

Modeling and Optimization of Wastewater Treatment and Lipid Production using a Mixed-Culture of Algae and Bacteria in a High Rate Algal Pond
DownloadSpring 2019
Biofuels are being considered as an alternative source of energy produced from fossil fuels. Among various biological resources, microalgae have captured lots of attention in recent years due to their potential use as renewable energy source for biofuel production since they offer high growth...

Fall 2018
This work is devoted to the modelling of heat storage device and energy storage reactors based on fixed-bed geometry. The interparticle discrete-element-method model is developed and used in this work. The model accounts for the interparticle heat exchange directly, which is most useful in a...
