Spring 2022
Self-cycling fermentation (SCF) is an advanced, automated, semi-continuous fermentation strategy that is used to improve the volumetric productivity of bioproduction. Typically, a microbial culture is grown in a reactor and half the reactor contents are harvested once a limiting nutrient is...

CFD Modelling of Bioprocesses: Integrating Mechanical Mixing, Aeration and Dynamic Rheology
DownloadFall 2021
Sadino Riquelme, Maria Constanza
Bioprocesses currently have a huge importance in worldwide sustainable development. However, the design of bioreactors based on experimental and empirical knowledge poses a challenge for the industrial biotechnology. Thus, CFD has gained attention as a design tool. Although CFD modelling has...

Treatment of Antiviral Drugs in Wastewater Using Advanced Oxidation Processes - Ozonation of Oseltamivir Phosphate
DownloadFall 2021
While wastewater treatment facilities are designed to remove contaminants from water before it returns to the environment, unfortunately, not all of these facilities are effective in the removal of micropollutants (MPs). Antiviral drugs are a class of MPs that have become an area of concern due...

Novel Plasma Based Technology for Treatment of Emerging Contaminants in Water: Understanding Physiochemical Processes and Applications
DownloadSpring 2017
Indiscriminate and widespread disposal of pharmaceutical compounds, dye molecules, and pesticides in to water resources pose a serious threat to the quality of drinking water. A critical need exists for developing novel practical, efficient, and cost effective water treatments for remediation of...

Application of Ozone and Peroxone Processes for Naphthenic Acids Degradation in Oil Sands Process-Affected Water: Characterization of Water Before and After Treatment
DownloadFall 2017
Appling ozone (O3) with high doses (>100 mg/L) to remove naphthenic acids (NAs) from oil sands process-affected water (OSPW); limits its application and feasibility in the OSPW remediation. To decrease the required doses and their associated costs, this study examined the application of ozone...

Development and Validation of a Sclerotinia sclerotiorum-Specific Quantitative PCR Assay to Assess Risk of Sclerotinia Stem Rot of Canola (Brassica napus)
DownloadFall 2016
Sclerotinia stem rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a major disease of canola (Brassica napus) commonly managed by the routine application of fungicides. Petal infestation is an important stage of the disease cycle and has been the focus of previously developed Sclerotinia stem rot risk...

Application of Anoxic-Aerobic Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs) for Oil Sands Process-Affected Water (OSPW) Treatment
DownloadFall 2016
The enormous volumes of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) produced during oil sands bitumen extraction have been a public concern due to the toxicity and persistence of the organic contaminants contained in the water. Among all the contaminants in OSPW, naphthenic acids (NAs) are regarded...

Quantification of bacteriocin gene expression in Carnobacterium maltaromaticum ATCC PTA-5313
DownloadFall 2014
Carnobacterium maltaromaticum ATCC PTA-5313, which produces bacteriocins carnocyclin A, piscicolin 126 and carnobacteriocin BM1, has been approved for use on meat products to control the growth of Listeria monocytogenes. This combination of bacteriocins is very effective as a biopreservative. It...

Combined Adsorption and Biodegradation Processes for Oil Sands Process-Affected Water Treatment
DownloadFall 2014
The oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) generated from bitumen extraction of oil sands by industries in Northern Alberta, Canada, is a great environmental concern because of the OSPW toxicity in the environment. This toxicity has been attributed to a group of alicyclic and aliphatic compounds...
