The formation of stable water-in-oil emulsions during oil sands extraction process causes a number of operational issues, such as equipment corrosion, storage and transportation problems. One common method for emulsion breakup in industry is to use chemical demulsifiers. The chemical demulsifiers...

A Novel Approach to Delay Thermal and Autoxidative Fouling Caused by Aromatics in Heavy oil and Petrochemicals Using Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol
DownloadSpring 2023
Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) is a widely used solvent. It is a preferred solvent since it is derived from biomass. Multiple patents have reported that adding THFA during heavy oil processing improves the efficiency of the process and increases the yield. One patent for instance reported that...

Understanding mineralogy and surface properties of fine solids is vital in oil sands processing and tailings management. Fine solids in oil sands are often contaminated by tightly bound organic matter (OM) originally or during hydrocarbon removal, thereby increasing surface hydrophobicity and...

Carbon Dioxide Absorbers for Active Food Packaging: Heterogeneous Chemical Precipitation of Lime on TEMPO Oxidized Cellulose Nanofiber Template
DownloadFall 2019
Ramachandran Shivakumar, Karthik
Cellulose nanofibers are fibers of high aspect ratios with exceptional barrier properties and are manufactured from renewable source. In this study, cellulose from various sources such as Kraft pulp and bleached chemical thermomechanical pulp (BCTMP) with different dispersion methods was used to...
