Descriptor-Based Explorations on Flotation of Metal Sulfides Using Density Functional Theory Calculations
DownloadFall 2019
Descriptor-based computational studies hold great promise for a more efficient optimization strategy for froth flotation of metal sulfides. To achieve this, fundamental insights into the ligand–metal sulfide interaction mechanism and identification of an effective descriptor possessing a...

Design and Synthesis of Temperature Switchable Non-ionic Block Copolymers for Application to Oil Sands Extraction
DownloadSpring 2016
Based on the analysis of typical warm water oil sands extraction process, we investigated the use of a novel temperature switchable non-ionic block copolymer, poly (ethylene glycol)-b-poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide) (MPEG-b-PNIPAM), to enhance the bitumen recovery and the recycle of the polymer...
