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...

This letter describes a new method for fabricating supramolecular microgels from supramonomers. To this end, we designed and assembled supramonomers with one acrylate moiety on each end on the basis of noncovalent host–guest interactions, which could be utilized as a cross-linker. Then...

Synthesis and Characterization of Amylopectin-grafted Polyacrylamide (AP-g-PAM) Flocculants for Dewatering of Oil Sands Mature Fine Tailings (MFT)
DownloadSpring 2018
Oil sand mining continues increasing in Alberta and bitumen production from surface mining is predicted to reach 257,600 m3/day by 2026 (a 41.3% increase compared to 2016), generating a large amount of tailings that need to be stored in tailing ponds. The challenging part of tailing management is...

The Behaviour and Interactions of the Silica/Water Interface Studied through Nonlinear Optics
DownloadFall 2020
The chemistry of silica in contact with water is rich and diverse. These two substances are among the most ubiquitous on the surface of the Earth. Yet, despite many investigations into the interactions between silica and water, there is still more to discover. In aqueous solution, the silica...

Fall 2012
An ecological risk assessment for the Athabasca River was done. We did a review of literature pertaining to ecological risk assessment in the Athabasca River. The focus of the risk assessment was on the ecological impact of low dissolved oxygen (DO), because mainly ice-cover and pulp mill...

The Role of High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Oxide in Reducing Quartz Gangue Entrainment in Chalcopyrite Flotation by Xanthate Collectors
DownloadFall 2011
Fine particles pose two challenging problems to all mineral processors around the world today. The problems are the inefficient collection of hydrophobic particles (low recovery), and mechanical/hydraulic entrainment of hydrophilic gangue particles (low concentrate grade). Extensive research has...

Textile durability is a complex concept. One definition of “durability” is “The ability of a fabric to resist wear through continual use.”1 However, it is more helpful to understand textile durability as a result of the interaction among multiple factors. According to Richard Slomko, director at...
