Spring 2010
The technique of Inverse Gas Chromatography (IGC) was employed for the study of the interactions between various organic solvents with various types of the major inorganic materials (clay minerals and sand) found in Alberta’s oil sands. Heat of adsorption (-∆H) was measured for each solvent with...

Interfacial activity of SAGD PW endogenous surfactants, humic acids (HAs), and their interaction dynamics with naphtha-diluted Alberta oil sand bitumen (AOSB) present in model SAGD produced water has been addressed in the first part of this PhD thesis. Dynamic interfacial tension σ(t) between oil...

High pressure carbon dioxide adsorption processes are employed in applications such as carbon dioxide capture and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). Carbon dioxide capture using adsorption has gained wide attention because of the promising materials that are developed for this application....

Two separations are necessary to enable the post-combustion capture of CO2. The fraction of CO2 in a flue gas stream must first be separated from the diluents present and then the concentrated stream of CO2 must be thoroughly dried in order for it to be compressed for sequestration. This work...

Addressing Diameter Non-uniformity in the Melt Spinning of Asphaltenes-Derived Carbon Fibres
DownloadSpring 2023
Asphaltenes offer a cheap alternative to the predominant precursor currently used in the manufacture of carbon fibres. Melt spinning is typically employed for transforming asphaltenes into a fibrous form but faces two challenges: inconsistent or poor spinnability and a large diameter variation in...

Two alkyl-bridged aromatic compounds, with molecular weights of 899.70 g/mol and 1127.99 g/mol, were thermally cracked with 1-hexadecene, 1- octadecene, or trans-stilbene, in a batch microreactor at 375–430 °C for 15 to 45 min. The objective of the study was to investigate the kinetics of the...

Methanotrophic bacteria are capable of converting single carbon sources such as methane or methanol, two common industrial waste products, into value-added compounds like bioplastics or biofuels. These microorganisms have significant potential for the mitigation of these low-value industrial...
