Open-pit mining of Alberta’s oil sands deposits heavily depend on freshwater for the extraction of bitumen. It leaves 1.25 m3 oil sands process affected water (OSPW) per barrel of produced oil. In spite of years of research on treatment of OSPW, currently, there are no approved economic and...

The interface between two phases—for example, a liquid and a vapor phase—influences the properties of the phases it separates. When the interface is flat, the phase properties of both single- and multicomponent systems can be reliably predicted by applying well-established thermodynamic...

Elements from Gibbsian composite-system thermodynamics, classical nucleation theory, combinatorics, and statistical mechanics were used to provide insights into and develop models for some equilibrium systems of practical importance. This thesis consists of two parts. In part one, three problems...
