Fall 2013
In the development of a numerical model for the water cycle on Mars, adsorption of water vapour in the Martian regolith acts as a significant sink and retards the transport of mass. Adsorption on Mars cannot be studied directly, so a numerical model was created, and a diffusion sorption...

Body odour, particularly in the axillary region, consists of a rich bouquet of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) varying in functional groups including carboxylic acids, aldehydes, ketones, esters, etc. Clothing fabrics worn next to the axillae can easily ad/absorb and retain malodours. Odorous...

Sorption Behavior of Trace Organic Chemicals on Nanoplastics and their Implications on Co-contaminant Transport
DownloadFall 2023
Nanoplastics are plastic fragments less than 1000 nm and are a growing concern within the plastic pollution crisis. They have distinct properties that differ from bulk plastics because of their size, large surface area-to-volume ratio, and their potential to disrupt biological processes once...

The use of solvents for extraction of bitumen is attractive because no wet tailings are produced. Studies have already shown that hydrocarbon solvents can achieve the same level of bitumen recovery as the current aqueous extraction method. However, solvent recovery must be very efficient to avoid...

Nanomaterials (NMs) are materials that are between 1 and 100 nm at least one dimension. While natural processes (volcanos, lightning, erosion, etc.) have been producing NMs for the entirety of the earth’s existence, recent advances in material sciences have produced novel engineered NMs...

The sorption characteristics of inorganic and organic compounds found in hydraulic fracturing flowback and produced water: Implications for fate and transport
DownloadFall 2019
In recent years, due to increasing energy demands, hydraulic fracturing operations for recovering unconventional hydrocarbon resources has increased. Wastewater recovered is referred to as flowback and produced water (FPW), and is often saline, contains numerous organic and inorganic...
