Electrokinetic barrier and remediation with solar energy
(2012-11-10)
Electrokinetics is a promising technique to prevent / minimize the migration of pollutants to the soil and/or groundwater and to remediate contaminated slurries. Electrokinetics requires a low-level direct current (dc) ...
Effects of feed and operating conditions on the performance and membrane fouling of a submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor
(2012)
Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) have been recognized as an effective method for enhanced wastewater treatment and re-use. However, the loss of the membrane performances due to membrane fouling remains a major ...
Lignin-based hydrogels
(2017)
Currently, limited information is available on lignin-based hydrogels, but its potential in commercial applications presents a promising avenue for the utilization of lignocellulosic materials. Recent studies have employed ...
Source tracking of escherichia coli in a freshwater lake in Northwestern Ontario (Boulevard Lake, Thunder Bay)
(2013-02-01)
Escherichia coli is regularly used as a fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) in recreational waters but its persistence in the environment brings its use into doubt. A secondary FIB known as Bacteroides has been under a lot of ...
Investigation on liquid-liquid dispersion in stirred tanks through experimental approach and computational fluid dynamic (CFD)
(2019)
Stirred tanks have a vital role in chemical engineering industries. Among the various
applications of stirred tanks, mixing of two immiscible liquid phases is of interest in chemical
processes. Mixing of two immiscible ...
Hydraulic and dynamic assessment of triangular labyrinth weirs and wier-pool type fishways
(2019)
The hydraulic performance of traditional labyrinth weirs has been extensively studied in the literature. The research outcomes indicated that labyrinth weirs have many hydraulic advantages to pass more flow with a constant ...
On the motion of vertical and oblique sand jets in stagnant immiscible liquids
(2019)
Sand jets and particle clouds in water and viscous fluids have been a frequent subject of intense
research and are pertinent to many environmental, industrial, and engineering processes. Mixing
and dispersion of sand ...
Co-firing of lignite with peat and white pine in a pilot scale bubbling fluidized bed air - emissions and feedstock reactivity
(2010)
The increasing awareness of the environmental impact of fossil fuels (mainly coal) combustion, which leads to high levels of CO 2 , NO x , SO 2 , mercury and particulate emissions, has motivated research for potential ...
Developing an experimental setup for Thunder Bay waste pollution control plant (WPCP) to evaluate UV lamp performance
(2019)
An automated experimental setup was developed to measure the spectral irradiance of new low pressure (LP) ultraviolet lamp (UV). The experimental analysis was performed by the measurement of the UV intensity along the ...
Microbial methylation of mercury in the North Harbour of Lake Superior
(2019)
Mercury is a known contaminant in the North Harbour of Lake Superior due to the
decommissioned “Thunder Bay Fine Papers” pulp and paper mill. The cause for concern for
organisms in the lake and for humans occurs when ...
