Enhanced accumulation of bitumen residue in a highly concentrated tailings flow by microbubbles from in-situ catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide
Kaiyu Zhou, Somasekhara Goud Sontti, Joe Zhou +1
The massive volume of oil sands tailings has been one of the most challenging environmental issues. In this work, we experimentally explore a simple and effective approach to bitum…
Effects of Coal Particles on Microbubble-Enhanced Bitumen Separation in the Concentrated Slurry Flow of Oil Sands Tailings
Yiyi Huo, Mohammadhossein Golchin, Kaiyu Zhou +3
Our study investigates the segregation of bitumen residues within the transport pipeline before disposal in the presence of coal particles in carriers and microbubbles. Coal partic…
Numerical investigation on solids settling in a non-Newtonian slurry inside a horizontal flume
Shubham Sharma, Somasekhara Goud Sontti, Wenming Zhang +2
Slurry transportation is always crucial for many industrial processes. This study numerically investigates the settling behavior of multisize solid particles in a non-newtonian slu…
Determination of Trace Organic Contaminant Concentration via Machine Classification of Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectra
Vishnu Jayaprakash, Jae Bem You, Chiranjeevi Kanike +3
Accurate detection and analysis of traces of persistent organic pollutants in water is important in many areas, including environmental monitoring and food quality control, due to…
Numerical insights from population balance model into the distribution of bitumen residues in industrial horizontal pipes during the hydrotransport of oil sands tailings
Somasekhara Goud Sontti, Xuehua Zhang
Pipeline transportation is a vital method for conveying crushed oil sand ores and tailings in the oil sands industry. This study focuses on enhancing economic benefits by exploring…
Nanoextraction from a flow of a highly diluted solution for much-improved sensitivity in offline chemical detection and quantification
Hongyan Wu, Quynh Nhu Le, Binglin Zeng +1
Preconcentration of the target compound is a critical step that ensures the accuracy of the subsequent chemical analysis. In this work, we present a straightforward yet effective l…
