A Model Study on Water Soluble Polymeric Nanofibers for Rapid Flocculation and Enhanced Dewatering of Fine Oil Sands Tailings Simulated Through Kaolin
DownloadFall 2018
Nanofibers are fibers with diameters lower than 100 nm, traditionally made from natural or synthetic polymers. Properties of nanofibers, such as low density, controllable surface functionality, and high surface area to volume ratio, allowed researchers to use them in a multitude of applications...

Fall 2017
Since European settlement of the Canadian Prairies there has been substantial loss of wetlands. This loss occurs in large part due to drainage by private agricultural operators seeking to boost the productivity of their land. Policy makers now seek not only to conserve wetlands and prevent...

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....

Fall 2014
This research comprises four integral parts. Each part focuses on one aspect of the general problem of drug delivery by respiration. The morphological features of human respiratory tract, the dynamics of inhaled pharmaceutical particles, and the mechanics of inhaler devices are particularly taken...

Amylopectin-graft-hydrolyzed-poly(methyl acrylate) (AP-g-H-PMA) Flocculants for the Treatment of Oil Sands Tailings
DownloadSpring 2020
The extraction of bitumen from the Alberta oil sands reserves has long been a major economic contributor to the Canadian society, but the impact this industry has had on the environment has raised concerns worldwide. The main problems are how to reclaim the area and reduce the number of tailings...

An experimental investigation of the impact of fat taxes: Price effects, food stigma, and information effects on economic instruments to improve dietary health
DownloadFall 2009
This thesis investigates how a tax and warning label on less healthy snack food products may affect consumer behaviour when the imposition of the tax is a source of consumer information. A survey that included choice experiments was implemented in supermarkets. Participants were asked to choose...

An Integrated Optimization Model for Strategic Open-Pit Mine Planning and Tailings Management
DownloadFall 2014
Badiozamani Tari Nazari, Mohammad Mahdi
A strategic mine planning model determines the best order of extraction and destination of material over the mine-life, in a way that maximizes the net present value of the produced minerals. In case of oil sands open-pit mining, further processing of the extracted oil sands generates massive...

Application of coagulation-flocculation process for treating oil sands process-affected water
DownloadFall 2011
Oil Sands Process-Affected Water (OSPW) is generated from oil sands operation processes such as mining, extraction, and upgrading. Currently, accumulated OSPW is temporarily stored in tailings ponds which are toxic to the environment and must be treated for either reuse or safe discharge in the...

Application of Coagulation/Flocculation followed by Sedimentation for Treating Urban Combined Sewer Overflows
DownloadFall 2017
Combined Sewer Systems are commonplace in the United States and the major cities in Canada. These systems consist of both sanitary and stormwater lines which, when combined, create the potential for large surges of wastewater during storm conditions known as Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs). CSOs...

Spring 2015
A multi-purpose settling column was designed to determine settling rate and sediment height allowing the in-situ measurement of yield stress and drainage without disturbing the sediment particle network. The settling column was applied to studying flocculation/densification of model oil sands...
