A Preliminary Study on Pyrolysis and Gasification of Asphaltenes and Coal-Asphaltenes Slurry in Entrained Flow Reactor
DownloadFall 2012
The aim of this work is to study pyrolysis of coal-asphaltenes slurry in an atmospheric entrained flow reactor. Athabasca asphaltenes and Genesee coal, both from Alberta in Canada, were selected as the feedstock. Char characteristics and the structure of asphaltenes and slurry chars including...

Adsorptive Removal of CO2 by Amine Functionalized Sorbents: Experimental and Kinetics Study
DownloadFall 2012
Adsorption processes using functionalized ordered mesoprous silica sorbents have shown a great potential for post-combustion CO2 capture from flue gas. In this work an experimental and theoretical investigation was conducted on the adsorptive removal of CO2 onto amine functionalized mesoporous...

An Investigation of Millerite (beta-NiS) Flotation Behaviour in Alkaline Solutions in Cu-Ni Sulphide Mineral Flotation Separation
DownloadFall 2021
In the Sudbury Basin nickel deposit, the presence of a less common nickel sulphide mineral – millerite (beta-NiS) has a substantial impact on the Cu/Ni flotation separation efficiency. In this study, the flotation chemistry of millerite in alkaline solutions was investigated with pure minerals...

An investigation into the Development of Ceramic Sorbents for High Temperature Air Separation for OxyFiring
DownloadSpring 2014
Oxyfuel combustion as one of the alternatives to post-combustion carbon capture technologies requires an economically viable oxygen supply system. Cryogenic air separation, the main currently available technology, consumes above 30% of the energy produced as it involves separation of nitrogen...

Fall 2014
Recent interest in the use of post-underground coal gasification (UCG) sites for carbon capture and storage (CCS) has created a need to fundamentally understand the carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption on gasified and pyrolysed coal chars. More specifically, in this work, the effect of coal properties...

CO2-Responsive Surfactants for Enhancing Heavy Oil Recovery: from Fundamentals to Bench-Scale Demonstrations in Canadian Oil Sands Extraction
DownloadSpring 2020
Interfacial properties at the oil-water interface are of key importance to various operations in the petroleum industry, especially in the aqueous-based heavy oil recovery process. However, different operation stages often require different interfacial properties, which could be conflicted with...
