An Investigation of the Methylene Blue Titration Method for Clay Activity of Oil Sands Samples
Download2014-12-04
Currie, R., Mian, H., Bansal, S., Khan, I.
The purpose of this report is to use a design of experiment (DOE) approach to examine the main factors affecting the determination of methylene blue index (MBI) values for oil sands samples. The methylene blue titration of clays has become a principle tool to assess extraction efficiency of oil...

Wels, C., Lefebvre, R., Robertson, A. M.
Air movement and associated oxygen transport through waste rock dumps has the potential to significantly enhance the rate of oxidation of pyrite-bearing material. While this is a desired outcome for most heap leach operations, airflow in waste rock storage facilities can result in significant...

Desmier, R., Dixon, J., Macdonald, B. C. T., Melville, M. D., Waite, T. D.
The acidic and metal rich waters that are generated from acid sulfate soil (ASS) drainage can have damaging impacts upon ecosystems. The most obvious impact has been the discolouration of water and occasional fish kills. ASS’s produce these acidic and metal rich waters when pyrite in soil is...

Application of coagulation-flocculation process for treating oil sands process-affected water
DownloadFall 2011
Oil Sands Process-Affected Water (OSPW) is generated from oil sands operation processes such as mining, extraction, and upgrading. Currently, accumulated OSPW is temporarily stored in tailings ponds which are toxic to the environment and must be treated for either reuse or safe discharge in the...

Application of Forward Osmosis Membrane Technology for Oil Sands Process-Affected Water Desalination
Download2014-10-01
The extraction process used to obtain bitumen from the oil sands produces large volumes of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW). As a newly emerging desalination technology, forward osmosis (FO) has shown great promise in saving electrical power requirements, increasing water recovery, and...

Spring 2015
A multi-purpose settling column was designed to determine settling rate and sediment height allowing the in-situ measurement of yield stress and drainage without disturbing the sediment particle network. The settling column was applied to studying flocculation/densification of model oil sands...

Taheriazad, L., Portillo-Quintero, C., Sanchez-Azofeifa, G.A.
Monitoring of environmental conditions in and around oil sands developments has been underway for years. However, recent reviews have indicated the need for a more comprehensive, scientifically-rigourous and transparent monitoring program and have provided recommendations for design and...

Applications of Remote Hyperspectral Sensing in the Characterization of Alberta's Oil Sands Tailings
DownloadSpring 2016
The bitumen production from oil sands surface-mining operations produces large volumes of mineral wastes called tailings. Characterization of the oil sands tailings is of importance to monitor their state for trafficability and reclamation issues, to assess the tailings operation performance, and...

Assessing Corporate Certification as Impetus for Accurate Reporting in Alberta’s Mine Financial Security Program
Download2012-11-08
Alberta’s Mine Financial Security Program (MFSP) establishes the procedures for determining and administering financial security for reclamation of oil sands and coal mining operations. The program establishes more transparent and consistent methods for determining the financial security amount...
