New - Bonus Thermo-Calc Workshop! Paul Mason of Thermo-Calc will be giving us a one day Workshop on this Thermodynamic database software on June 20, 2008 - immediately following the CMSC Conference. Any and all graduate students, academics, and industry folks may attend. The details of the Workshop will be worked out in the days ahead. In the meantime, please visit the web site of Thermo-Calc to get an idea of the package and the components that may be of interest to you (both curriculum and research). In particular, see the list of the databases of interest If you would like to attend this FREE workshop, please download and fill out this form and return via email by pressing the email submit button on the form. Please bring your laptop with you, as Paul will bring the software with temporary licenses to install on your machine for the demonstration.

CANCELLED Interfacial phenomena play a critical role in mineral and material processing, including milling, flotation, hydrometallurgical processing, solvent extraction, solid-liquid separation, ceramic processing, thin film technology and nano technology, just to name a few. In this short course, we will cover fundamentals of surfaces and colloids, including surface energy, wettability, surface charge, adsorption, surfactant chemistry, emulsions, colloidal interaction, coagulation and flocculation, with examples application to mineral and materials processing. It will also include recent advances in application to mineral and materials processing of modern in situ characterization techniques such as zeta potential distribution measurement, atomic force microscope, surface forces apparatus, FTIR, impinging jet and induction time. Surface characterization component of the course will be covered by a complementary course on surface characterization course organized by Professor Douglas Ivey.
Nanofabrication (NINT) Organizers:
Additional Information: Workshop Focus: This half day workshop will focus on providing an overview of the research priorities, on-going research activities, and unique capabilities of the National Institute of Nanotechnology (NINT) at the University of Alberta. The process for working with NINT will be outlined in a special presentation so as to facilitate industrial/academic interactions. After the workshop is concluded, small group tours of NINT will be conducted. Limited spaces are available for tours, if interested please RSVP directly with Dr. Unsworth (larry.unsworth@ualberta.ca). Workshop Agenda: This half day short course will be held from 9-noon on June 17th, 2008. Corrosion Prevention Weixing Chen (U of A) Phone: (780) 492-7706 Fax: (780) 492-2881 Email: weixing.chen@ualberta.ca Jenny Been (ARC) Purpose: The purpose of the workshop is to present an overview of some current corrosion issues in the oil and gas industry, emphasizing prevention, control, and integrity management. Topics will include (1) pipeline corrosion, such as internal corrosion, stress corrosion cracking and integrity management, (2) downhole corrosion, (3) oil sands corrosion, and corrosion in refineries.
Who Should Attend? Students, engineers, service professionals, researchers, and regulatory personnel who are interested in and involved with managing corrosion in the oil and gas industry.
