Wels, C., Lefebvre, R., Robertson, A. M.
Air movement and associated oxygen transport through waste rock dumps has the potential to significantly enhance the rate of oxidation of pyrite-bearing material. While this is a desired outcome for most heap leach operations, airflow in waste rock storage facilities can result in significant...

The acidic and metal rich waters that are generated from acid sulfate soil (ASS) drainage can have damaging impacts upon ecosystems. The most obvious impact has been the discolouration of water and occasional fish kills. ASS’s produce these acidic and metal rich waters when pyrite in soil is...

Application of coagulation-flocculation process for treating oil sands process-affected water
DownloadFall 2011
Oil Sands Process-Affected Water (OSPW) is generated from oil sands operation processes such as mining, extraction, and upgrading. Currently, accumulated OSPW is temporarily stored in tailings ponds which are toxic to the environment and must be treated for either reuse or safe discharge in the...

Application of Coagulation/Flocculation followed by Sedimentation for Treating Urban Combined Sewer Overflows
DownloadFall 2017
Combined Sewer Systems are commonplace in the United States and the major cities in Canada. These systems consist of both sanitary and stormwater lines which, when combined, create the potential for large surges of wastewater during storm conditions known as Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs). CSOs...

A multi-purpose settling column was designed to determine settling rate and sediment height allowing the in-situ measurement of yield stress and drainage without disturbing the sediment particle network. The settling column was applied to studying flocculation/densification of model oil sands...

Applications of Remote Hyperspectral Sensing in the Characterization of Alberta's Oil Sands Tailings
DownloadSpring 2016
The bitumen production from oil sands surface-mining operations produces large volumes of mineral wastes called tailings. Characterization of the oil sands tailings is of importance to monitor their state for trafficability and reclamation issues, to assess the tailings operation performance, and...

Automating Information Flow in Hyperspectral Measurements for Soil Characterization in Tailings
DownloadFall 2015
In the first section of this thesis, two laboratory experiments conducted on tailing samples were evaluated using a structured qualitative analysis procedure. The process model of Suppliers, Inputs, Process, Output, and Customers (SIPOC) was used to study relationships amongst different parts of...

Shaw, S., Wels, C., Robertson, A., Fortin, S., Walker, B.
A background characterisation study was carried out in the Sangre de Cristo mountains, New Mexico, to: 1. quantify naturally occurring contaminant loads from mineralised areas; 2. define site-specific background concentrations; and 3. to determine key factors controlling spatial and temporal...

Benign-by-Design: Synthesis of Engineered Silicon Nanoparticles and their Application to Oil Sands Water Contaminant Remediation
Download2013-11-29
Iqbal, M., Veinot, J.G.C., Purkait, T.K., Goss, G.G.
Oil sands are naturally occurring mixtures of sand or clay, water, fine silts, and bitumen. The oil sands extraction process consumes large volumes of water (i.e., ca. 3 barrels of fresh water for every 1 barrel of oil). Following the extraction of bitumen from the oil sands, a tailings slurry...
