Spring 2015
In many applications, it is desired to separate unwanted fine particulates from a liquid by gravity settling. An efficient separation, however, will be feasible only if a combination of aggregation and sedimentation occurs. To understand the kinetics of such a process, a mathematical model that...

Carboxymethyl Chitosan as a Selective Depressant in Differential Flotation of Galena and Chalcopyrite
DownloadSpring 2015
Toxic inorganic depressants are routinely used in the differential flotation of polymetallic sulfide ores and it is desirable that they be replaced with environmentally benign chemicals. Chitosan, as a natural and non-toxic polymer, has been proven to be an efficient depressant for copper sulfide...

Chitosan, a naturally occurring polymer, was studied as a potential selective depressant in the differential flotation of sulfide minerals. In single mineral flotation tests, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite and pyrite were depressed to different extents. However, in the differential flotation of...

The non-aqueous extraction process involves dilution of mined oil sand with an organic solvent (the “diluent”), followed by separation of unwanted materials (clays, silica sand, connate water, etc.) from the diluted bitumen. The main focus of this research is on the removal of fines solids from...

The incorporation of Cu interconnects into the manufacturing of integrated circuits has accompanied several modifications to the fabrication process and the associated material systems. The new fabrication process involves the development of dual damascene process, while the new materials systems...

Currently the recovery of niobium oxide minerals from carbonatite niobium ores relies on the use of non-selective cationic collectors. This leads to complicated process flowsheets involving multiple desliming and multiple reverse flotation stages, and low niobium recovery. In this research,...

Electrodeposition of iron-cobalt alloys from a dibasic ammonium citrate stabilized plating solution
DownloadFall 2009
Iron-cobalt alloys have been extensively studied as potential hard disk drive write head materials due to their potentially high saturation flux densities (~2.4T), low coercivities and ease of deposition. Iron-cobalt plating solutions have, however, been shown to have stability issues,...

The dominant materials used for solders in electronic assemblies over the past 60 years have been Pb-Sn alloys. Increasing pressure from environmental and health authorities has stimulated the development of various Pb-free solders. Two of the most promising replacements are eutectic Sn-Cu and...

Flocculation and dewatering of kaolinite suspensions and oil sands mature fine tailings using dual polymers
DownloadSpring 2015
The development of a method to consolidate and dewater Athabasca oil sands mature fine tailings (MFT) is one of the major challenges facing Alberta’s oil sands industry. This thesis presents studies performed on the flocculation and dewatering of kaolinite suspensions (the major clay component...

The correlation between froth recovery and air recovery was established in a top-feeding mechanical flotation column. It was also found that the particles were stratified in froth layer, with hydrophobic particles (organic phase) concentrated in the upper region, and hydrophilic particles...
