Biological Treatment of Naphthenic Acids and Other Organic Compounds in Oil Sands Process-Affected Waters
DownloadFall 2014
The Alberta oil sands contain one of the world’s largest reserves of oil - over 169 billion barrels of bitumen are economically recoverable with current extraction technologies. Surface mining, whereby the ore is extricated from the earth and bitumen is obtained via a hot water extraction...

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...

Catalogue of Technologies for Reducing the Environmental Impact of Fine Tailings from Oil Sands Processing
Download1993
Rose, D. E., Taplin, D., Fuhr, B. J.
A catalogue containing 22 technologies for reducing the environmental impact of fine tailings derived from oil sand processing has been assembled. The simple format which was developed as part of this study consisted of a spreadsheet outline of the technologies and a process summary for each...

Centrifuge Modeling and Large Deformation Analyses of Axially Loaded Helical Piles in Cohesive Soils
DownloadSpring 2022
In the past decades, helical piles have gained increasing popularity in civil engineering practice as an option of deep foundations. The design of axial load capacity of these piles relies on an appropriate selection of failure mode. Currently, the axial failure modes of multi-helix piles...

Usher, B. H., Hodgson, F. D. I.
Twenty-seven observation test pits were excavated at four different spoils dumps at three collieries in the Witbank Coalfield. The holes were dug into the upper three metres of the spoils to ascertain if any weathering profiles, variation with age or influence of topsoil covering could be gauged....
