Spring 2010
Chicken dark meat has been considered as a major underutilized commodity due to the increasing demand for further processed breast meat products. Alkali aided protein extraction is an option to increase the utilization of chicken dark meat. First, the effect of pH (10.5-12.0) on alkaline...

Fall 2018
The production of a tailings waste stream is ubiquitous to mining and mineral processing operations, especially in Alberta’s oil sands industry. Due to the presence of colloidal clays such as kaolinite, which do not naturally sediment in suspension, water recycling and land reclamation remain...

High-Float Emulsion Residue: A New Rheological Model Based on the Existence of a Yield Stress
DownloadFall 2016
“High-float” (HF) emulsions are dispersions of micron-sized bitumen droplets in water, with a special type of anionic surfactant functioning as stabilizer. By allowing the water to evaporate from an HF emulsion, what remains is called a “high-float emulsion residue.” Although indistinguishable in...

Petrophysical properties of bitumen from the Upper Devonian Grosmont reservoir, Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2009
The Upper Devonian Grosmont reservoir in Alberta, Canada, is the single largest carbonate bitumen reservoir in the world, with an estimated 400 billion barrels of bitumen in place. The Grosmont bitumen formed from light crude oil via extensive biodegradation, which produced extremely high in-situ...

Sea Ice Rheology Experiment (SIREx): 1. Scaling and Statistical Properties of Sea-Ice Deformation Fields
Download2022-01-01
Bouchat, Amelie, Hutter, Nils, Chanut, Jerome, DUpont, Frederic, Dukhovsoy, Dmitry, Garric, Gilles, Lee, Younjoo J., Lemieux, JEan-Francois, Lique, Camille, Losch, Martin, Maslowski, Wieslaw, Myers, Paul G., Olason, Einar, Rampal, Pierre, Ramussen, Till, Talandier, Claude, Tremblay, Bruno, Wang, Qiang
As the sea‐ice modeling community is shifting to advanced numerical frameworks, developing new sea‐ice rheologies, and increasing model spatial resolution, ubiquitous deformation features in the Arctic sea ice are now being resolved by sea‐ice models. Initiated at the Forum for Arctic Modeling...

Sea Ice Rheology Experiment (SIREx): 2. Evaluating Linear Kinematic Features in High-Resolution Sea Ice Simulations
Download2022-01-01
Hutter, Nils, Bouchat, Amelie, Dupont, Frederic, Dukhovskoy, Koldunov, Nikolay, Lee, Younjoo J., Lemieux, Jean-Francois, Lique, Camille, Losch, Martin, Maslowski, Wieslaw, Myers, Paul G., Olason, Einar, Rampal, Pierre, Ramussen, Till, Talandier, Claude, Tremblay, Bruno, Wang, Qiang
Simulating sea ice drift and deformation in the Arctic Ocean is still a challenge because of the multiscale interaction of sea ice floes that compose the Arctic Sea ice cover. The Sea Ice Rheology Experiment (SIREx) is a model intercomparison project of the Forum of Arctic Modeling and...

Spring 2016
Effect of rotation on dynamcis of flow in microchannels is studied. In the frist study, an analytical solution is developed for the unsteady flow of fluid through a parallel rotating plate microchannel, under the influence of electrokinetic force using the Debye–Hückel (DH) approximation....

Mineral carbon sequestration (MCS) is a type of carbon storage based on natural rock weathering processes where CO2, dissolved in rainwater, reacts with alkaline minerals to form solid carbonates. Although MCS has advantages over other carbon storage techniques, an economic MCS process has not...

Characterization of mature fine tailings in the context of its response to chemical treatment
DownloadFall 2010
Continuous accumulation of Mature Fine Tailings (MFT) is a major challenge to oil sands industry. To reduce the inventory of MFT through development of novel tailings treatment technologies, it is essential to understand the stabilization mechanism of fine solids in MFT. This project aims at...

Hydrothermal Treatment of Low Rank Coal for Making High Solid Loading and Stable Coal Water Slurries
DownloadFall 2014
The objective of this research is to understand the effect of hydrothermal dewatering (HTD) on surface properties, stability and rheological behavior of lignite water slurry (LWS). The surface forces between coal particles are found to be attractive after HTD, which is proven by contact angle and...
