Application of a Methanotrophic Immobilized Soil Bioreactor to Trichloroethylene Degradation
Yu, Yinghao (2008-09-30)Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a major groundwater contaminant and is a cause of serious health concern. Methanotrophic TCE degradation is very promising compared with other treatments. Methanotrophs produce methane monooxygenases ... -
Assessment of Photocatalytic Performance of Aluminium-Supported Titanium Dioxide Thin Films Produced by Flame Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition
Potter, Eric E. (2015-12-16)Titanium dioxide films were deposited on aluminum by flame assisted chemical vapour deposition. The photocatalytic performance of these films when the air flow rate to the flame and thickness of silicon oxides under-layer ... -
Components of Oils Sands Process Water Involved in Toxicity, Estrogenicity and Biodegradation
Yue, Siqing (2015-02-25)To process one m3 of oil sands, four m3 of oil sands process wastewater (OSPW) is produced. OSPW is a mixture of compounds including hundreds of different naphthenic acids (NAs) which are considered to the major toxicity ... -
Dye decolourization by immobilized laccase and impact of auxiliary chemicals on dye decolourization
Champagne, Paul-Philippe (2009-06-16)Textile dyes are molecules designed to impart a permanent colour to textile fabrics. They pose an environmental problem because they are toxic and they decrease the aesthetic value of rivers and lakes. Current technologies ... -
Evaluation of the immobilized soil bioreactor for treatment of naphthenic acids in oil sands process waters
McKenzie, Natalie (2013-06-20)Extraction of bitumen from Alberta oil sands produces 2 to 4 barrels of aqueous tailings per barrel of crude oil. Oil sands process water (OSPW) contains naphthenic acids (NAs), a complex mixture of carboxylic acids of the ... -

High Cell Density Culivation of Methylosinus Trichosporium OB3b
Adegbola, Olufemi (2008-09-04)Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b is a wild type, obligate methanotroph that grows only on one-carbon compounds and, in the absence of copper, produces high levels of soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) to metabolize methane ... -
Medium-Chain-Length Poly (3-Hydroxyalkanoate) Nanoparticle Suspensions
Antwi Peprah, Benjamin (2016-08-18)The main goal of this thesis was to prepare medium-chain-length poly-3-hydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA) nanoparticle suspensions at high solids content (≥ 10 % w/v). A two-stage emulsification-solvent evaporation process was ... -
Preparation and characterization of biopolymer compounds containing poly-3-hydroxyalkanoates and polylactic acid
Nerkar, Manoj (2014-09-03)This thesis is focused on developing cost effective and environmentally friendly techniques to improve the properties and processability of biopolyesters through compounding and reactive modification. Specifically, elastomeric ... -
Process development for fed-batch production of medium-chain-length poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) from decanoic acid
Gao, Jie (2015-12-16)The main goal of the thesis is to develop strategies for the fed-batch production of medium-chain-length poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) (MCL-PHA) by Pseudomonas putida KT2440 from decanoic acid (DA) co-feeding with glucose (G). ... -
Process Development for the Production and Separation of Medium-Chain-Length Poly (3-Hydroxyalkanoates) by Pseudomonas Putida KT2440
Jiang, Xuan (2010-08-31)A series of medium-chain-length poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) (MCL-PHAs) with enriched 3-hydroxynonanoate (HN) content (up to 95.8 mol% compared to 68.6 mol% without acrylic acid) or 3-hydroxyoctanoate (HO) content (up to 97.5 ... -
Production of Medium-Chain-Length Poly(3-Hydroxyalkanoates) Using Pseudomonas Citronellolis DSM50332 and P. Putida KT2440 in Continuous Reactor Systems
Gillis, James (2011-12-20)In vivo production of medium-chain-length poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) (MCL-PHA) containing a side chain carboxyl group from azelaic acid (AzA), a nine-carbon α,ω-dicarboxylic acid, was investigated using Pseudomonas citronellolis ... -
Rhizosphere/Soil Microorganisms in the Phytoremediation of Biphenyl and Dioxane
Sun, Bozhi (2015-07-29)Biphenyl and dioxane biodegradation by poplar and willow rhizosphere microorganisms was studied in a phytoremediation test-plot contaminated with biphenyl and dioxane. A dioxane-degrading consortium enriched from the ...
