Emulsion Polymerization of Poly-(Methyl Acrylate) for Flocculation and Dewatering of Oil Sands Tailings.
DownloadFall 2020
This work adds to the continuing research efforts in Alberta to manage the accumulation of oil sands tailings and reduce the environmental footprint of oil sands’ operations. Oil sands tailings are unwanted by-products of surface-mining bitumen extraction processes. They are usually held in...

This research aims to improve oil sands tailings treatment by applying a combination of quick lime (calcium oxide) and anionic or cationic polymers in the flocculation process. A procedure including mixing lime, dilution of mature fine tailings (MFT) in the lime supernatant and addition of...

Adamowicz, Wiktor, Armstrong, Glen W., Novak, Frank
One of the guiding themes for forest management policy throughout much of North America is sustained yield. The basic premise behind this theme is that a constant or non-declining flow of services from the forest is socially desirable. Unfortunately, the act of capturing the benefits of this...

Establishment and vegetation survey of 16 Pinus banksiana – dominated permanent plots for the Athabasca oil sands ecological monitoring project in 1981
Download1982
Sixteen, undisturbed, 5-hectare, permanent plots dominated by Pinus banksiana (jack pine) were established along an impingement gradient of atmospheric emissions from oil sands processing plants north of Fort McMurray in northern Alberta in August of 1981. Four plots were burned over by wildfire...

Point measurements of maximum depth showed that over 50% of the rainstorms occur in June and July, with only a small percentage in Apri1 (5.6) and September (10. 1). The greatest frequency of occurrence is observed in the Waterton Lakes Park area (just about 1 per year), with relatively high...

This paper examines alternative risk management strategies in terms of their effectiveness for three representative Alberta farm operations. Stochastic dynamic simulation methods are used to model financial performance for these farms, and alternative risk management programs are compared in...

Prior to 1975 information on surface water hydrology in the oil sands area was very limited. During 1975 and 1976 a number of hydrometric gauging stations were provided by AOSERP to bring the total number of stations in the area to 32. Measurements of standard water quality parameters began at...

Experimental investigation on evaporation induced convection in water using laser based measurement techniques
DownloadFall 2010
Recent studies showed that evaporation of water can induce surface tension gradients along the water surface and ultimately lead to convection, known as Marangoni convection. This study was devoted to visualization and characterization of the evaporation-induced, surface-tension-driven convection...
