Atomistic Approach towards Sodium Citrate Role on Surface Properties of Silica and Clay Minerals
DownloadFall 2022
The use of sodium citrate as a secondary processing aid in combination with caustic significantly improved bitumen recovery, specifically in poor oil sands ores. The role of sodium citrate on wettability alteration of solid surfaces, benefiting bitumen liberation as well as improving bitumen...

Studying the Molecular Structure of Aqueous/Mineral Oxide Interfaces by Vibrational Sum Frequency Generation Spectroscopy and Zeta Potential Measurements
DownloadFall 2021
Water/mineral oxide interfaces are ubiquitous in various atmospheric, geological, biological, and industrial systems. Hence, studying such abundant interfaces is essential for understanding the macroscopic interfacial reactions, such as adsorption/desorption, dissolution, flocculation,...

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...

Nonlinear optical techniques are widely used for surface analysis, as they are surface specific and can be used to probe interfaces of insulators such as silica. Silica is commonly found in nature such as reservoirs of natural water and oils. Nonetheless, it is not clear how silica interacts with...

The Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is still not in a worldwide operation despite inheriting an old idea which is nearly one and a half century old. Aside from effects by other fuel sources on development of the UCG and from a technical perspective, this delay is due to the complex nature of...

Integrated techno-economic and environmental assessments of sixty scenarios for co-firing biomass with coal and natural gas
Download2016-01-01
Agbor, Ezinwa, Oyedun, Adetoyese Olajire, Zhang, Xiaolei, Kumar, Amit
Displacement of fossil fuel-based power through biomass co-firing could reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil fuels. In this study, data-intensive techno-economic models were developed to evaluate different co-firing technologies as well as the configurations of these...

In 1932, coal miners inside of Alberta's Crowsnest Pass struck for 195 days over working conditions. I use a multi-perspective approach and found my analysis on the basis of community to increase our understanding on industrial disputes. I explore the strike from the viewpoint of coal operators,...

Previous studies on the extraction of liquid products from coals have focused mainly on increasing the yield, with very little emphasis on the quality of the liquid products. The main goal of this study is to achieve a balance between the yield and quality of the coal derived liquids. The first...
