Novel Plasma Based Technology for Treatment of Emerging Contaminants in Water: Understanding Physiochemical Processes and Applications
DownloadSpring 2017
Indiscriminate and widespread disposal of pharmaceutical compounds, dye molecules, and pesticides in to water resources pose a serious threat to the quality of drinking water. A critical need exists for developing novel practical, efficient, and cost effective water treatments for remediation of...

Spring 2013
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...

Probing Surface Heterogeneity, Electrochemical Properties and Bubble-Solid Interaction Mechanisms of Sulfide Minerals in Flotation
DownloadSpring 2017
The colloidal stability governed by various surface interactions including van der Waals (VDW) interaction, electrical double layer (EDL) interaction, hydrophobic interaction, and some other interactions, plays an important role in a wide range of natural phenomena and engineering applications....

Surface Interaction Mechanisms between Deformable Bubbles and Hydrophobic Surfaces in Aqueous Solutions
DownloadSpring 2018
Deformable bubbles in complex fluidic systems are crucial components in a variety of traditional and emerging industrial processes, where their surface interactions with hydrophobic surfaces play an important role in realizing the targeted functionalities. In this project, a bubble probe atomic...

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...
