Forward Osmosis as an Approach to Manage Oil Sands Produced Water: Membrane Fouling and Organic Removal
DownloadFall 2017
Currently, large amounts of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) are stored in tailing ponds, leaving its environmental impact a significant concern. To better manage OSPW, numerous treatment approaches have been investigated including adsorption, advanced oxidation and biological treatment,...

Investigation of the Adsorption of Model and Oil Sands Process-Affected Water Naphthenic Acids on Graphite
DownloadSpring 2015
Naphthenic acids (NAs) are constituents of bitumen in the oil sands deposits in northern Alberta, Canada. The extraction process of bitumen creates an enormous amount of wastewater called oil sands process affected waters (OSPW). This OSPW contains elevated concentrations of NAs, and other...

New Approaches to Thermodynamics-based Predictive Modelling of Gas Chromatography and Comprehensive Two-dimensional Gas Chromatography
DownloadSpring 2019
Thermodynamics-based predictive models of retention in gas chromatography and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography have been demonstrated to provide high prediction accuracy across a wide range of separation conditions. They generally predict better than retention index-based models...

Fall 2015
Oil sands bitumen is increasingly recovered by injecting steam into reservoirs using the energy intensive Steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process. Interest in improving recovery and energy efficiencies have led to an interest in injecting light hydrocarbons along with or instead of steam...

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...

Fall 2023
Graphite-forming events occurred throughout Earth history and extend up to solar and pre-solar contexts. However, a comprehensive understanding of the timeline of these events has been hindered by a lack of chronological information for graphite. Here we explore the geochronological potential of...

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...
