Next Generation Sequencing of Protists as a Measure of Microbial Community in Oil Sands Tailings Ponds: Amplicon Versus Metagenomic Approaches
Download2014-11-21
Aquilar, M., Glücksman, E., Bass, D., Dacks, J.B.
The Alberta oil sands provide a major benefit to the province as an economic driver. At the same time, their responsible exploitation, particularly in mitigating the environmental impact of oil extraction stands as a significant challenge to be addressed. One of the most contentious aspects is...

Next-Generation Sequencing of Protists as a Measure of Natural Soil Microbial Eukaryotic Community in the Oil Sands Region
Download2012-12-23
Quideau, S., Richardson, E., Dacks, J.B., MacIntyre, G., Adl, S., Walker, G.
Soil plays a central role in the functioning of all terrestrial ecosystems. Among the many ecosystem services to which soil contributes are: purification and storage of water, sequestration of organic matter, nutrient cycling for plant growth, and conservation of healthy faunal and microbial...

Nickel and cobalt transfigured natural clay: a green catalyst for low-temperature catalytic soot oxidation
Download2022-09-26
Soot particulates in engine exhausts pose a severe threat to the environment and human health – causing cancer, affecting the heart and lungs and drives metal processes. This study proposes a practical, real-world application of transition metal modified natural clay as an environmentally benign,...

Oil Sands Mature Fine Tailings Consolidation Through Microbial Induced Calcite Precipitation
Download2014-12-21
Liang, J., Liu, Y., Deng, L., Guo, Z.
The accumulation of mature fine tailings (MFT) in tailings ponds has been a concern of the oil sands industry and regulators for decades. Previous studies and current practices for fine tailings consolidation focus on the addition of inorganic and organic additives to reduce MFT production and...
