Demulsifier Performance in Diluted Bitumen De-watering: Effects of Mixing and Demulsifier Dosage
Demulsifier Performance in Diluted Bitumen De-watering: Effects of Mixing and Demulsifier Dosage
Download2016-10-02
Bhattacharya, Sujit, Arora, Nitin, Ng, Samson, Chong, Jeng Y., Kresta, Suzanne M., Machado, Marcio B.
Mixing conditions were explored as a possible avenue for improvement of demulsifier performance in solvent diluted bitumen de-watering process. The effects of demulsifier bulk concentration, demulsifier injection concentration and mixing energy on water and solids removal from the oil phase were...

Spinelli, J.E., Hearn, W., Bogno, A.-A., Henein, H.
Understanding the influence of rapid solidification conditions on the formed microstructure is important to determine how process conditions affect the final mechanical properties. In this work the rapid solidification of hypoeutectic and hypereutectic Al-xSi (x=10wt. %, 18wt %) alloys was...

Estimation of Droplet Size and Temperature at which Solidification starts in a Drop Tube-Impulse System.
Download2016-01-01
Delshad Khatibi, P., Henein, H.
D2 tool steel powders were produced using a drop tube-impulse atomization technique. In order to measure the radiant energy and droplet size of atomized D2 steel droplets, DPV-2000 (Tecnar Automation Ltée, St. Hubert Quebec, Canada) was utilized. In-situ velocity and droplet size of the atomized...

Quantification of Dendritic and Eutectic Nucleation Undercooling in Rapidly Solidified Hypo-Eutectic Al-Cu Droplets
Download2016-01-01
Bogno, A.-A., Delshad Khatibi, P., Henein, H., Gandin, Ch.-A.
This paper reports on the quantification of primary dendritic and eutectic nucleation undercoolings during rapid solidification of impulse atomized hypo-eutectic Al-Cu droplets. The procedure consists in determining the eutectic fraction of each investigated droplet from the fraction of...

The Effect of Skelp Thickness on Precipitate Size and Morphology for X70 Microalloyed Steel Using Rietveld Refinement (Quantitative X-ray Diffraction)
Download2018-01-01
Chatelier, C., Wiskel, J.B., Ivey, D.G., Henein, H.
Precipitates in thin-walled (11 mm) and thick-walled X70 (17 mm) microalloyed X70 pipe steel are characterized using Rietveld refinement (a.k.a. quantitative X-ray diffraction (QXRD)), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analyses....

Wiskel, J.B., Ma, J., Valloton, J., Ivey, D.G., Henein, H.
Strain aging of microalloyed steel pipe can occur at the relatively low temperatures associated with the pipe coating process and/or during long term storage. A Box-Behnken statistical design is used to determine the significant strain aging variables that affect the longitudinal yield strength...

Predicting freezing points of ternary salt solutions with the multisolute osmotic virial equation
Download2023-12-26
Binyaminov, Hikmat, Sun, Henry, Elliott, Janet A. W.
Previously, the multisolute osmotic virial equation with the combining rules of Elliott et al. has been shown to make accurate predictions for multisolute solutions with only single-solute osmotic virial coefficients as inputs. The original combining rules take the form of an arithmetic average...

Computational fluid dynamics investigation of bitumen residues in oil sands tailings transport in an industrial horizontal pipe
Download2023-01-01
Sontti, Somasekhara Goud, Sadeghi, Mohsen, Khou, Kaiyu, Zheng, Enzu, Zhang, Xuehua
Pipeline transport is commonly used in the oil sand industry to convey crushed oil sand ores and tailings. Bitumen residues in the oil sand tailings can be a threat to the environment that separating them from tailings before disposal is crucial. However, low bitumen concentration in the tailing...

Surface nanobubbles are nanoscopic gaseous domains on immersed substrates which can survive for days. They were first speculated to exist about 20 years ago, based on stepwise features in force curves between two hydrophobic surfaces, eventually leading to the first atomic force microscopy (AFM)...
