Production and Application of Different Waste-derived Sustainable Materials for the Removal of Naphthenic Acids Related to Oil Sands Process Water
DownloadSpring 2024
Oil sands process water (OSPW) is generated in a large volume during the bitumen extraction process from the oil sands. Naphthenic acids (NAs) are recalcitrant compounds that contribute to the toxicity of OSPW, which need effective treatment before being released into the environment. In the...

Reclamation of Unconventional Oil Processed Water through the Adsorption of Naphthenic Acids by Carbon Xerogel
DownloadFall 2017
This study examines the use of carbon xerogel (CX) material for the adsorption of naphthenic acids (NAs). The adsorption of NAs is crucial for the reclamation of unconventional oil processed water, more specifically Alberta’s oil sands process-affected water (OSPW). CX material is synthesized at...

Regenerable Composites for Removal of Organic Dye in Aqueous Media and Water in Heavy Oil and the Associated Interaction Mechanism
DownloadSpring 2018
Water plays an indispensable role in all aspects of life, including farming, domestic and industrial uses. In industries, water has been extensively applied in mining, production and surface treatment, producing a large quantity of contaminated water that threatens human health, endangers...

Removal of Heavy Metal Ions and Diethylenetriamine Species from Solutions by Magnetic Activated Carbon
DownloadSpring 2013
Even though activated carbon is widely used in the removal of contaminants from effluents, it is difficult to be completely recovered by screening or classification. In this project, we prepared a magnetic form of activated carbon (M-AC) by co-precipitation of iron oxides onto activated...

Removal of Organic and Inorganic Contaminants from Oil Sands Tailings using Carbon Based Adsorbents and Native Sediment
DownloadFall 2013
The extraction and refinement of oil sands bitumen produces substantial quantities of liquid tailings and solid coke. Tailings contain metals and naphthenic acids, which require remediation before mine closure. Adsorption is a potential remediation technique which may reuse stockpiled petroleum...

Fall 2016
The Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is still not in a worldwide operation despite inheriting an old idea which is nearly one and a half century old. Aside from effects by other fuel sources on development of the UCG and from a technical perspective, this delay is due to the complex nature of...

Restoring Native Grassland Function in Urban Environment: Implications for Soil-Plant Relations
DownloadFall 2013
The area of rough fescue prairie has been reduced in Western Canada because of human activities. Larch Park is an Edmonton residential development area to which land reclamation and restoration ecology have been applied to rebuild natural grasslands instead of turf grasses. By using salvaged...
