Fall 2016
Non-aqueous solvent extraction of bitumen from oil sands has the potential to replace the existing hot-water extraction process. The benefit of non-aqueous extraction process includes high bitumen recovery, reduction of fresh water demand for extraction and the elimination of resulting tailing...

Experimental investigation on evaporation induced convection in water using laser based measurement techniques
DownloadFall 2010
Recent studies showed that evaporation of water can induce surface tension gradients along the water surface and ultimately lead to convection, known as Marangoni convection. This study was devoted to visualization and characterization of the evaporation-induced, surface-tension-driven convection...

Unsaturated Flow Model
2019-06-06
Xiaochuan Tony Zheng, Tony Zheng
The un-saturated flow sub-model is based on a previously developed infiltration-drainage model. This research improves the original model by adding capabilities of handling dynamic boundary conditions and inter-layer overflow mechanisms. Additional validation cases are conducted to build...

Spring 2022
This study investigated the mechanisms driving the dewatering and strength behaviour of polymer amended treated (centrifuged and in-line thickened tailings/ILTT) deep tailings deposits undergoing seasonal weathering dominated by a) multiple freeze-thaw cycles and b) alternating freeze-thaw and...

Applications of Remote Hyperspectral Sensing in the Characterization of Alberta's Oil Sands Tailings
DownloadSpring 2016
The bitumen production from oil sands surface-mining operations produces large volumes of mineral wastes called tailings. Characterization of the oil sands tailings is of importance to monitor their state for trafficability and reclamation issues, to assess the tailings operation performance, and...

Fall 2014
This research comprises four integral parts. Each part focuses on one aspect of the general problem of drug delivery by respiration. The morphological features of human respiratory tract, the dynamics of inhaled pharmaceutical particles, and the mechanics of inhaler devices are particularly taken...

Spring 2016
A study was implemented to evaluate different alternatives of soil cover systems for the closure of approximately 1539 Mt of waste rock at the Antamina Mine (Peru). The soil covers were designed to limit water percolation to the underlying waste rock, by combining a store/release and low...

Fall 2017
Although evaporation is considered to be a surface phenomenon, the rate of molecular transport across a liquid–vapor boundary is strongly dependent on the coupled fluid dynamics and heat transfer in the bulk fluids. Recent experimental thermocouple measurements of the temperature field near the...
