Carbon and Nitrogen Mineralization and Microbial Succession in Oil Sands Reclamation Soils Amended with Pyrogenic Carbon
Download2014-12-31
Mackenzie, M.D., Lanoil, B., Hofstetter, S., Hatam, I.
Land reclamation of oil sands disturbed boreal forests in Alberta is a challenging task facing companies with surface mine leases. The government requires reclamation to equivalent land capability, which is a vague statement at best. Agronomic theories and methodologies have been applied in the...

Cation exchange due to the diffusion of ammonium from livestock effluent through glacial clay soils
Download2007
Abstract: The objective of this study was to experimentally simulate interactions between liquid manure and soil in diffusion-dominant areas beneath earthen manure storage (EMS). A previous radial diffusion cell method was modified to include an anaerobic chamber that employed a plastic glove bag...

Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is a process in which coal is converted to syngas in-situ. UCG has gained popularity recently as it could be used to extract energy of deep-lying coal seams, and it reduces the footprints attributed to the gasification process. In this study, two models have...

Characterization and Variability of Soils Reconstructed After Surface Mining in Central Alberta
Download1986
This is one of a series of reports that presents the findings of the Plains Hydrology and Reclamation Project (PHRP), an interdisciplinary study that focuses primarily on hydrologic aspects of reclamation of surface coal mines in the plains of Alberta. This research has been conducted by the...

Characterization of copper supported on titanosilicates for room temperature H2S adsorption
DownloadSpring 2012
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a major contaminant of industrial gas streams. Amongst the various methods used for its removal, adsorption by metal oxides is the most promising. Copper oxide (CuO) is shown to have superior H2S removal capability at room temperature. H2S removal at room...

Anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions are driving climate change. The largest sources of emitted carbon dioxide are coal and fossil fuel power plants. One proposed solution to mitigate emissions is to capture carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants and store it underground. This is the...

Chemical modification, characterization, and application of chicken feathers as novel biosorbents
Download2013
Ullah, Aman, Khosa, Muhammad A., Wu, Jianping
The current work exclusively pertains to preparing arsenic removing biosorbents using chicken feathers (CF) as a raw material. CF consist of keratinous proteins with many functional groups, and this paper contributes to the debate on how functional groups, especially –COOH, –NH2 and –S–S–,...

In this study, we describe the use of different silica materials to separate vanadium compounds from Asphaltenes. We used high performance flash chromatography separation method to separate asphaltenes at different solvent strengths on sea sand. The separation conditions were optimized for flow...
