Investigation of the Adsorption of Model and Oil Sands Process-Affected Water Naphthenic Acids on Graphite
DownloadSpring 2015
Naphthenic acids (NAs) are constituents of bitumen in the oil sands deposits in northern Alberta, Canada. The extraction process of bitumen creates an enormous amount of wastewater called oil sands process affected waters (OSPW). This OSPW contains elevated concentrations of NAs, and other...

Spring 2013
Coagulation/Flocculation/Sedimentation (CFS), petroleum coke (PC) adsorption, and zero valent iron (ZVI) oxidation-enhanced by PC were applied for the remediation of oil sands process-affected water (OPSW), generated from oil sands operations in northern Alberta, Canada. OSPW is a complex mixture...

Probing Surface Heterogeneity, Electrochemical Properties and Bubble-Solid Interaction Mechanisms of Sulfide Minerals in Flotation
DownloadSpring 2017
The colloidal stability governed by various surface interactions including van der Waals (VDW) interaction, electrical double layer (EDL) interaction, hydrophobic interaction, and some other interactions, plays an important role in a wide range of natural phenomena and engineering applications....

The treatment of oil sands process-affected water by submerged ceramic membrane microfiltration system
DownloadFall 2014
With the rapid expansion of the oil sands exploitation in Northern Alberta over the past decade, oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) management has become a significant issue. In this study, the use of a submerged microfiltration was proposed as a potential process for pretreating OSPW....
