Spring 2024
In the process industry, certain quality variables cannot be measured regularly due to technical limitations or economic constraints. Consequently, the industry relies on laboratory analysis to measure such quality variables. However, laboratory analysis introduces long time-delays in obtaining...

Spring 2012
Experiments were conducted to test and characterize proton conducting electrolyte materials and layers formed by solid state reactions. Screen printed layers of yttrium doped ceria and alkaline earth carbonates were reacted at high temperatures on NiO-YSZ and NiO-CGO substrates with the intent...

Spring 2018
In this study, natural molybdenite mineral was exfoliated into nanosheets in organic solvents and co-solvent of 2-propanol/water with the ultimate goal to use the nanosheets as catalysts for water splitting. The exfoliated nanosheets were characterized with a variety of techniques such as...

Fall 2014
With the rapid development of industry, air and water pollution has become a critical topic to the public and scientific community since the quality of air and water is essential for the prosperity of life. In this study, two novel adsorbents, Fe3O4@polydopamine (PDA)-Ag microspheres and...

Spring 2017
Dewatering of the oil sands mature fine tailings (MFT) is studied through pressure filtration following treatment by dual polymer flocculants. Polymer pairs consisting of anionic polyacrylamide (A3335) and cationic polyDADMAC (Alcomer 7115), and A3335 and non-ionic polyethylene oxide (PEO) are...

Fall 2021
Oilsands bitumen produced from Alberta, Canada contains 14–20 wt.% n-pentane insoluble asphaltenes. Separation of asphaltenes from the bitumen by solvent deasphalting has the benefit of improving the properties of the deasphalted oil compared to the bitumen, for example, by decreasing its...

Price-Driven Coordination of Distributed Model Predictive Controllers: A Bi-Level Optimization Approach
DownloadFall 2015
Chemical and petrochemical plants typically integrate a number of geographically distributed operating units, which are physically linked through energy and material streams or inherently coupled via plant-wide constraints. The main drawback of the current decentralized control system is that it...

Probabilistic Graphical Models for Data Reconciliation and Causal Inference in Process Data Analytics
DownloadSpring 2021
Data reconciliation methods play an important role in minimizing the measurement error and gross error that are present in the process data with respect to the process model. On the other hand, causal analysis helps in determining the relationship among the process variables from the data. It is...
