Dry Reforming of Methane Using Rh Substituted Pyrochlores

Oct 31, 2012

Devendra Pakhare

Dry (CO 2 ) reforming of methane (DRM) to syngas (H 2 and CO) has been well-studied over a number of catalysts. The high temperatures needed to produce syngas inevitably result in carbon formation. Although pyrochlores are known to be thermally stable at conditions required for dry reforming, we...

Recovery of Hydrocarbons From Froth Treatment Tailings of Oil Sand Bitumen Processing

Oct 31, 2012

Yuming Xu

Bitumen is separated from surface-mined oil sand ore in a warm water extraction process that produces bitumen froth typically containing 60 wt% bitumen, 30 wt% water, and 10 wt% mineral solids. The water and solids are then removed from the froth by solvent dilution followed by gravitational...
