Adsorbents for the Removal of Naphthenic Acids from Oil Sands Process Water: Investigation of Reclamation Materials from Surface Mining of Oil Sands and Development of Biochars from Biological Sludge and Peat
DownloadSpring 2023
Crominski da Silva Medeiros, Deborah C.
Oil sands process water (OSPW) is generated in high quantities during the extraction of the bitumen from the oil sands. Naphthenic acids (NAs) are recalcitrant compounds, corresponding more than 50% of all organics in OSPW. The efficient management of OSPW is of importance to guarantee efficient...

Applications of Lime and Enzymes for Oil Sands Tailings Management: Dewatering and Mitigation of Methane Emissions
DownloadSpring 2023
The remediation of oil sands tailings is a crucial environmental aspect of the Canadian oil sands industry. Oil sands tailings management involves the endless storage of massive volumes of fluid fine tailings (FFT). The slow gravity settling of tailings, the release of toxic compounds, and the...

Optimization of Drilling Fluid Flow Rates – A Study of the Drilling Fluid Flow rates and Annular Pressure in Horizontal Directional Drilling
DownloadSpring 2023
Trenchless technologies have experienced the fast development and dramatic change in the past three decades. Derived from oil and gas industry, Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is considered as one of the most rapidly expanded trenchless technologies and widely used in infrastructure...

Refining real site TKPH (tonne-kilometer-per-hour) of ultra-large off-the-road tires at mine sites
DownloadSpring 2023
The objective of this PhD program is to refine the real site TKPH (tonne-kilometer-per-hour) of ultra-large off-the-road (OTR) tires at mine sites. To achieve this, a novel HLSRT model (a Hysteresis Loss model considering Strain levels, strain Rates, and rubber Temperatures) was first developed...

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...

Spring 2023
Switchable hydrophilicity solvents (SHSs) are solvents defined by their ability to switch from their hydrophobic form to a hydrophilic form when put in contact with an acidic trigger such as CO2. As a consequence, SHSs qualify as promising alternatives to volatile organic compounds during the...

Spring 2023
Geological uncertainty is a major source of risk in resource projects and must be characterized. Extensive research has been undertaken in the development of sophisticated techniques given the economic impact of this uncertainty. The Hierarchical Truncated PluriGaussian (HTPG) simulation is...

Investigation of Rockburst Mechanisms and Rockburst Prediction Using Numerical Modeling Methods
DownloadSpring 2023
Rockburst is a sudden rock failure characterized by the breaking up and expulsion of rocks from their surroundings, accompanied by a violent release of energy. Due to its unpredictability and high intensity, rockburst is one of the most hazardous geological disasters. It has caused thousands of...

Determining and Managing Contingency Reserve throughout the Lifecycle of Construction Projects
DownloadSpring 2023
Managing risk events and uncertainties plays a key role in the successful delivery of construction projects. To cover the implementation cost of risk response actions as well as the effects of risks on project goals, contingency reserve must be calculated and considered in the project budget....

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...
