Creation and Characterization of Ceramic/Polymer Bi-Continuous Composite Material for Hot-Bitumen Pipeline Coating
DownloadSpring 2015
Current composite materials base their capabilities from the dispersion of discrete reinforcing materials throughout a matrix. This method places too much reliance on the surface bond between matrix and reinforcing phase. By employing two continuous, interpenetrating materials, it is theorized...

A study of the colloidal stability of mixed abrasive slurries of silica and ceria nanoparticles for chemical mechanical polishing
DownloadFall 2011
Slurry stability is an important factor in Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) efficiency. However, few studies have been done in this respect. In settling tests at pH 4, adding various amounts of ceria to colloidal silica slurries was shown to change the stability of the resulted mixed abrasive...

Overly-stable froth in mineral flotation columns are sometimes a problem for separation operations. Greater quantities of fine particles in the input slurry can contribute to froth that is too stable and overruns the equipment capacity. Currently, the best ways to deal with this problem are to...

Beyond Viscosity—How Density, Vibration and Interfacial Tension Affect Solvent Aided Bitumen Production
DownloadFall 2016
Bitumen and heavy oil comprise a significant percentage of proven oil reserves globally. The environmental impacts of producing these resources with current technologies is a concern for environmentalists, oil producing companies, resource rich jurisdictions and society at large. Dilution of the...

A Novel Method of Obtaining Cell Membrane Permeability Parameters Using Non-Ideal Thermodynamic Assumptions
DownloadFall 2021
Cryopreservation is the storage of biological matter at subzero temperatures to preserve it. As one can imagine, this comes with many challenges, including exposure to high solute concentrations as pure water in the extracellular solution freezes, cell dehydration as the intracellular water...

The impact of mixing on diluted bitumen de-watering is studied in two stages using a fractional factorial design of experiments. The first stage evaluates the relative effects of bulk demulsifier dosage, local maximum energy dissipation, and mixing time. The second stage of experiments evaluates...

During separation of emulsified water from oil, a viscous intermediate layer builds up between water and oil phases. This layer which is referred to as rag layer disrupts emulsion destabilization and water removal. The present research is intended to better understand the formation of a rag layer...
