Some methods for treating tar sands tailings: Part 1 - laboratory application of CO2 process and related testing of type "X" treatment
Download1973
This report concerns some methods whereby the liquid waste from plants using the Clark hot water process to extract bitumen from tar sands is rendered clean. This report describes some novel experiments on liquid tailings from the G. C. O. S. plant, which may lead to an economically feasible...

The use of solvents for extraction of bitumen is attractive because no wet tailings are produced. Studies have already shown that hydrocarbon solvents can achieve the same level of bitumen recovery as the current aqueous extraction method. However, solvent recovery must be very efficient to avoid...

Graveland, D. N., McCoy, D. A., Regier, H. F.
Physical and chemical analyses of spent sand indicate that this material is very infertile. The spent sand samples analysed had an average pH of 7.2 and low Na content indicating that there was no residual problem resulting from the NaOH used in the oil production process. Freshly processed...

Standard Operating Procedures for Analysis of Naphthenic Acids from Oil Sands Process-Affected Water
Download2014-12-08
Mahdavi, H., Hepperle, S., Burkus, Z., Mian, H.
Naphthenic acids (NAs) are considered the main source of chronic and acute toxicity in oil sands process-affected water (OSPW). The purpose of this investigation is to establish elements of a standard procedure to determine and minimize the amount of NA loss during storage, sample preparation...

Strategic Non-Renewable Resource Governance: A History of Alberta Oil Sands Royalty Regulations, Public Finances, and Global Oil Markets
DownloadFall 2015
The following thesis examines Alberta oil sands royalty regulations and public finances across different stages of oil sands development and oil price fluctuations from 1967 to 2014. The main emphasis of this thesis is on how Progressive Conservative governments managed the collection, saving,...

Strategies for reforestation under uncertain future climates: guidelines for Alberta, Canada
Download2011
Abstract: Background: Commercial forestry programs normally use locally collected seed for reforestation under the assumption that tree populations are optimally adapted to local environments. However, in western Canada this assumption is no longer valid because of climate trends that have...
