CO2 solubility in brine in silica nanopores in relation to geological CO2 sequestration in tight formations: Effect of salinity and pH
Download2021-05-01
Li, Wenhui, Nan, Yiling, You, Qing, Jin, Zhehui
Geological CO2 sequestration during CO2 enhanced oil recovery in tight formations is a technically and economically viable option to alleviate carbon emission. In tight formations, there existsare enormous number of nano-scale pores, which can be filled with connate and injected water. In...

Effects of long-term nitrogen and sulfur deposition on soil microbial communities and soil properties in the Athabasca oil sands region in northern Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2016
Intensified oil sands activities have resulted in elevated levels of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) deposition in the mixedwood boreal forest in the Athabasca oil sands region (AOSR) of northern Alberta, Canada. The deposition of N and S can affect the surrounding ecosystem and it is important to...

Influence of Soil Cap Depth and Vegetation on Reclamation of Phosphogypsum Stacks in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta
DownloadSpring 2013
This study quantified environmental parameters to develop reclamation strategies for phosphogypsum stacks. Research was conducted on phosphogypsum stack experimental plots established in 2006 (6 soil cap depths, 5 vegetation treatments), and soil capped slopes seeded in 1998. Significant root...
