Presented herein is a solid-state 71Ga and 69Ga NMR study of several six-coordinate gallium-oxygen compounds: Ga(acac)3, Ga(thd)3, Ga(trop)3, and (NH4)3[Ga(cit)2]·4H2O. Spectra of stationary and magic angle spinning (MAS) samples are reported, and their electric field gradient (EFG) and chemical...

Guiding treatment selection for advanced prostate cancer with biogenic silver nanoparticles
DownloadFall 2018
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in men worldwide. Men with advanced PCa often face poor prognosis and are at high risk for mortality. To improve prognosis in this high risk population, targeting a reliable biological factor or marker that predicts a patient’s response...

Methane Production and Emission Mitigation in Oil Sands Tailings Concurrent with Hydrocarbon Degradation under Nitrogen Limited Conditions
DownloadFall 2020
Alberta’s oil sands generate large volumes of tailings from bitumen ore processing. These tailings ponds produce biogenic methane, which can be measured across 60-80% of the tailings surface. Based on current surface area data and emissions studies, tailings ponds could account for 8% of Canada’s...

Collins, Catherine Elizabeth Victoria
Surface mining for bitumen extraction results in production of tailings that are deposited into large ponds. Tailings in the ponds support diverse microbial communities capable of metabolizing organic compounds and producing biogenic gases (methane, CH4 and carbon dioxide, CO2). Because of low...

Methanogenesis in oil sands tailings: an analysis of the microbial community involved and its effects on tailings densification
DownloadSpring 2010
Densification of tailings slurries to mature fine tailings (MFT) is important in the oil sands industry for tailings inventory reduction, pore water recovery and tailings reclamation. The cause of methane release from the tailings pond of Shell Albian Sands (Albian) and the effects this process...
