Fall 2015
Oil sands bitumen is increasingly recovered by injecting steam into reservoirs using the energy intensive Steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process. Interest in improving recovery and energy efficiencies have led to an interest in injecting light hydrocarbons along with or instead of steam...

Coagulation/Flocculation/Sedimentation (CFS), petroleum coke (PC) adsorption, and zero valent iron (ZVI) oxidation-enhanced by PC were applied for the remediation of oil sands process-affected water (OPSW), generated from oil sands operations in northern Alberta, Canada. OSPW is a complex mixture...

Processing and Switching Mechanisms of Materials for Memory Devices in Flexible Electronics
DownloadFall 2021
Current trends in Big Data are driving industries towards new innovations for data acquisition and processing. Among these trends is the concept of the Internet of Things (typically abbreviated as IOT), which will result in the collection of very large amounts of data from sensors and...

The treatment of oil sands process-affected water by submerged ceramic membrane microfiltration system
DownloadFall 2014
With the rapid expansion of the oil sands exploitation in Northern Alberta over the past decade, oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) management has become a significant issue. In this study, the use of a submerged microfiltration was proposed as a potential process for pretreating OSPW....

Spring 2014
The spontaneous assembly of polypeptides through non-covalent interactions at physiological conditions is the main focus of the presented work and will be discussed from two different perspectives: (i) the interaction of peptide chains with themselves leading to formation of higher order...

Thermodynamic Investigation of the Effect of Interface Curvature on Solid-Liquid Equilibrium and Its Application to Zinc-Air Battery Electrolyte at Low Temperature
DownloadSpring 2018
Micro and nanoscale confinements and local curvatures, which are ubiquitous in natural and man-made materials and systems, cause significant impact on thermodynamic phase behavior. This effect has been extensively studied for single component solid's liquid phase transitions, but rarely for...

Tools and Methodologies for The Rapid Determination and Transfer of Thermodynamic Parameters used in the Prediction of Gas Chromatographic and Two Dimensional Comprehensive Gas Chromatographic Retention Times
DownloadFall 2014
Three parameter thermodynamic predictive models have been shown previously to provide superior accuracy in the prediction of gas chromatographic retention times in comparison to other forms of modelling such as retention indices. However, these models suffer from the need for extensive...
