Grant: Canada Research Chairs
University of Alberta
$200,000.00
Intermolecular forces and interfacial science
EF 2023-24
Résumé
Canada is a world leader in mining and has a vast wealth of natural resources including fossil fuels (e.g., oil sands) and minerals, which contribute significantly to the national economy. Many processes in natural resource extraction are determined by the basic intermolecular and interfacial interactions at interfaces of various solids, water, oil and gas bubbles. The proposed CRC program led by Dr. Zeng focuses on the intermolecular interaction mechanisms and interfacial science involved in various engineering processes, and applies the physical/chemical interaction principles to the development of new materials and technologies for oil production, mineral extraction, bioengineering, and wastewater treatment.
