Fall 2011
A cationic thermal sensitive polymer, polyN-isopropylacrylamide-co-N-[3-(Dimethylamino)propyl]methacrylamide (CP) of different molar ratios, known as CP05 and CP10 was synthesized in-house. By doping aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3) colloids into CP during the polymerization process, a novel hybrid...

A Study on the Effect of Temperature and Pressure on the Removal of Cyclohexane from Non-Aqueous Extraction Gangue
DownloadSpring 2015
Solvent based extraction has the potential to supplant the current hot water based extraction process as the industry standard method for recovering bitumen from mined oil sand. It has the potential for higher bitumen recovery that is less sensitive to the grade of oil sand ore being processed....

Above, Beneath, and Within: Collaborative and Community-Driven Archaeological Remote Sensing Research in Canada
DownloadSpring 2020
This thesis investigates the application of geophysics and remote sensing techniques in community-driven and collaborative archaeology research in Canada. While these techniques have become common among some archaeologists, they have yet to be extensively used within the lens of Indigenous...

Spring 2010
The technique of Inverse Gas Chromatography (IGC) was employed for the study of the interactions between various organic solvents with various types of the major inorganic materials (clay minerals and sand) found in Alberta’s oil sands. Heat of adsorption (-∆H) was measured for each solvent with...

Spring 2014
Environmental concerns about water-based extraction necessitate the development of an alternative non-aqueous extraction method. One of the challenges that any non-aqueous extraction process is encountered is the elimination of suspended fine solids from solvent-diluted bitumen. This study...

Spring 2021
At different stages during the extraction of bitumen from the Athabasca oil sands, the removal of unwanted fine solids whether suspended in aqueous or non-aqueous liquids continues to present serious challenges to the oil sands industry. These fine solids are unique in that their colloidal...
