Spring 2016
Heterogeneous materials are omnipresent in several critical engineering applications such as polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs), coal bio-conversion process, geological storage of CO2 and membrane water filtration. These applications rely on physical processes such as transport (e.g., mass,...

Study on Adsorption of Inorganic-organic Hybrid Polymers and Flocculation of Oil Sands Tailings
DownloadSpring 2013
Two inorganic-organic hybrid polymers, Al(OH)3-polyacrylamide (Al-PAM) and Fe(OH)3-polyacrylamide (Fe-PAM) were synthesized and used in flocculating model tailings (5 wt% kaolin suspensions) and laboratory extraction tailings. For comparison, a commercial anionic flocculant, partially hydrolyzed...

Synthesis and Characterization of Electrospun Activated Carbon Nanofibers Reinforced with Cellulose Nanocrystals for Adsorption Applications
DownloadFall 2019
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are emerging nanomaterials with desirable characteristics including biodegradability, renewable sources, high aspect ratios, high surface area, and high strength. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is the most commonly used polymer precursor for electrospinning due to its high...

Tailoring Molecular Sievesâ Dielectric and Electric Properties for Efficient Microwave and Resistive Heating Regeneration
DownloadSpring 2018
Adsorption onto molecular sieve adsorbents is a well-developed technique in the industry for gaseous pollutants emission control. Loaded adsorbents must then be regenerated for reuse in further adsorption cycles. Microwave and resistive heating have been introduced as potential alternatives to...

Fall 2013
In this research two-dimensional mathematical models were developed to study adsorption of single component volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and competitive adsorption of n-component mixtures of VOCs from dilute gas streams in a fixed-bed adsorber. The models consist of the macroscopic mass,...

Spring 2016
Vehicle painting booths are among the major sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions in the auto manufacturing sector. A challenge with controlling VOCs by adsorption onto activated carbon (AC) is the occurrence of strongly, or even permanently, adsorbed species. Irreversible...

Fall 2021
Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) processes are an industrially mature low energy consumption pathway for gas separations. Due to their performance being linked to the separation media, they provide an additional degree of freedom for process design. They are difficult to accurately model due to...
