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...

Immobilization has the potential to make enzyme utilization more cost efficient, but reduced enzymatic activity makes it unfeasible. The purpose of this study was to develop immobilized cellulase systems on silica supports that retain high enzymatic activity. Two of the four systems created...

This thesis describes the development of two types of flow-through microreactors containing lipase immobilized onto either a hollow channel support within an optical microstructured fiber capillary (MSF) or onto a silica monolith within a fused silica capillary (SM). The large silica surface area...

Enhancement of lignocellulosic feedstocks and biorefinery byproducts for composite and polymer applications
DownloadFall 2015
The volatility of the petroleum-based markets, increasing ecological concerns, and the accumulation of waste from the plastic industry have motivated a paradigm shift in research. Researchers are searching for sustainable, renewable, and competitive platforms ideally suited for replacement of...

Optimization of the reaction conditions of two enzymes for use in a carbon sequestration process, and investigation into immobilization via encapsulation within polymersomes
DownloadFall 2016
Carbon dioxide emissions from human activities contribute to an increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In nature, this gas is sequestered through the use of enzymes found in the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle, with useful molecules such as sugars being synthesized as products. A biomimetic...
