Spring 2022
Micron-size particle suspensions are very common in industrial processes such as mineral extraction and wastewater treatment. These particles are difficult to separate from the fluid media due to their size. The formation of aggregates increases the effective size of these particles, increasing...

Mechanisms of Aggregation and Separation of Water and Solids from Bitumen Froth using Cluster Size Distribution
DownloadFall 2016
The large-scale corrosion and equipment damage caused by water and solids respectively in bitumen froth necessitate their removal using various methods. This study is aimed at understanding how water and solids aggregate (water-water, water-solid and solid-solid) in bitumen froth and what the...

Use of thermogravimetric analyzer and high temperature furnace as an alternative to the coke reactivity index test and study on effect of binders in metallurgical coke making
DownloadSpring 2019
Metallurgical coke, a porous carbon material produced by carbonization of coking coal at high temperature, generally above 900 ○C, is an integral part of iron-making in the blast furnace. During iron making, coke serves several important roles in the blast furnace such as a source of energy, as a...
