A study of passivity and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of alloy 800 in simulated steam generator crevice solution containing thiosulfate and sulphide species
DownloadFall 2011
The passivity and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of Alloy 800 was studied in test solution containing thiosulfate and sulphide species. Cyclic polarization experiments in thiosulfate containing solutions indicated that with an increase in the concentration of thiosulfate, both the...

Fall 2014
In this study, the criteria for both homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation induced by hydrodynamic cavitation were investigated. The interaction of micron size bubbles with fine coal and the effects of the presence of micron size bubbles and bubble aging on bubble and fine coal attachment were...

The development and characterization of electroless Ni-P nanocomposite coatings and investigation of their corrosion resistance
DownloadFall 2018
The Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) system is a commonly employed method to extract crude oil in Alberta. The slotted liners of the SAGD system are made of L80 carbon steel, which is prone to the corrosion attack in the corrosive serving environment containing H2S and CO2. To reduce the...

Spring 2015
The steam cracking of hydrocarbons is the dominant technology for ethylene production and is a highly energy intensive process. The increasing demand for ethylene has stimulated substantial research into the development of new process routes to reduce energy consumption and other costs. Catalytic...

Fall 2016
Bitumen extracted from Canadian oil-sands has a high viscosity, which limits its transportation. Field upgrading has become an option to overcome that limitation, without having to dilute the bitumen. During the field upgrading of bitumen, solvent deasphalting in combination with thermal cracking...

Spring 2019
According to Canadian Workers’ Compensation Boards (WCBs), there are a disturbing number of workplace injuries and fatalities every year. Literature suggests that various external factors such as economic, regulatory and social factors affect firms’, and associated industries’ safety culture....

Spring 2018
Asphaltenes, defined as the fraction of crude oil soluble in toluene and insoluble in C5 to C7 paraffinic solvents, constitute the lowest value fraction of heavy oil. Sulfur is the most abundant heteroatom in asphaltenes. The present work explores two approaches for upgrading asphaltenes using...

Vega Mesquida, Ileana Magdalena
The rise in motor vehicle ownership has become not only an environmental issue, but also a public health threat as pollutants emitted negatively affect human health (Deng et al., 2017). One such pollutant is particulate matter, which has been regulated by a variety of countries because it...

Separation of Hydrogen and Carbon Dioxide from Syngas Using Clinoptilolite Natural Zeolite and Ordinary Portland Cement Composite Membranes
DownloadSpring 2014
Separating hydrogen and carbon dioxide from syngas is a necessary step for many industrial processes. Membrane separations are an attractive solution as they can operate at process temperatures (200-500 °C) and operate with a simple process. Pure thermally stable (up to 600 °C) clinoptilolite...
