Spring 2013
Adsorption behavior of nitrogen, argon and oxygen on silver exchanged titanosilicate (Ag-ETS-10) were studied in this work. A low temperature gas chromatographic determination of relatively low concentration argon (<1%) was developed, which was applied to evaluate the production of argon free...

Bubble Pressure Measurement and Modeling for n-Alkane + Aromatic Hydrocarbon Binary Mixtures
DownloadFall 2017
Commonly-used cubic equations of state (EOS) over predict the bubble point pressures (BPPs) for binary long-chain n-alkane + aromatic mixtures and frequently predict the incorrect phase diagram type. In this work, BPPs for 15 representative n-alkane + aromatic hydrocarbon binary mixtures were...

Anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions are driving climate change. The largest sources of emitted carbon dioxide are coal and fossil fuel power plants. One proposed solution to mitigate emissions is to capture carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants and store it underground. This is the...

Mass transfer at an organic solid – organic liquid interface within reservoir rock under creeping flow conditions
DownloadFall 2018
There is a growing recognition that knowledge gaps related to the molecular and phase state complexity of hydrocarbon resources, and their interactions within production and processing environments have begun impeding development of new or improved processes that protect the natural environment...

Mechanisms of Aggregation and Separation of Water and Solids from Bitumen Froth using Cluster Size Distribution
DownloadFall 2016
The large-scale corrosion and equipment damage caused by water and solids respectively in bitumen froth necessitate their removal using various methods. This study is aimed at understanding how water and solids aggregate (water-water, water-solid and solid-solid) in bitumen froth and what the...

Fall 2011
The impact of mixing on diluted bitumen de-watering is studied in two stages using a fractional factorial design of experiments. The first stage evaluates the relative effects of bulk demulsifier dosage, local maximum energy dissipation, and mixing time. The second stage of experiments evaluates...

The basic human right to have safe and clean drinking water cannot be neglected with the ever-rising worldwide need for drinking water that meets global standards. Local monitoring of water sources is even more vital in areas where access to pure drinking water is limited and its processing...

Phase Behavior and Thermophysical Properties of Athabasca Bitumen and Athabasca Bitumen + Toluene Mixtures in Near-critical Water
DownloadSpring 2014
The phase behavior and thermophysical properties of heavy hydrocarbons + water at elevated temperatures underpins development and implementation of coordinated production and refining processes, where for example, bitumen is produced by a SAGD method (steam assisted gravity drainage) and the...

There are currently no reliable methods for predicting liquid heat capacities of ill-defined hydrocarbons, such as bitumen and heavy crude oils and their partly processed fractions. Estimation techniques for liquid phase isobaric heat capacity of pure compounds include corresponding state and...
