Experimental Investigation on Interfacial and Surface Phenomena of Clathrate and Semi-clathrate Hydrates
DownloadFall 2023
Clathrate hydrates are compounds where guest molecules are trapped in cages formed between water molecules via hydrogen bonding. They have many promising applications, such as gas storage, energy storage, gas mixture separation and seawater desalination. They may also form inside the oil & gas...

Investigation of the Adsorption of Model and Oil Sands Process-Affected Water Naphthenic Acids on Graphite
DownloadSpring 2015
Naphthenic acids (NAs) are constituents of bitumen in the oil sands deposits in northern Alberta, Canada. The extraction process of bitumen creates an enormous amount of wastewater called oil sands process affected waters (OSPW). This OSPW contains elevated concentrations of NAs, and other...

The Influence of EPS Conditioning Films on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Adhesion to Solid Surfaces
DownloadFall 2010
Bacterial adhesion to inert surfaces in aquatic environments is highly dependent on the surface properties of the substratum, which could be altered significantly by the formation of conditioning films. The impacts of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and its several representative...
