A Study for Leaching Synthetic Scheelite in H2SO4 And H2O2 Solution: An Investigation and Optimization
DownloadFall 2023
Canada's 2021 Critical Minerals Strategy underscores the prominence of tungsten as a rare and critical element. Today, tungsten production relies on scheelite, categorized as a secondary resource due to its complex ore composition and lower-grade nature. This phenomenon stems from the depletion...

Impacts of Overstripping Topsoil on Native Rangelands in Southeastern Alberta: A Literature Review
Download1995
This literate review evaluates the information available on the effects of overstripping topsoil during pipeline construction on native rangelands in southeastern Alberta. The effects on soil quality and handling of Chernozemic and Solonetzic soils are presented in detail as these are the...

Patterson, T.J., Fedkenheuer, A.W., Faye, R.G., Finlayson, N.M., Luther, S.M.
The objective of this study was to evaluate several pipeline topsoil stripping depths to determine whether they result in land capability equivalent to that of adjacent forested lands broken for cultivation. Topsoil stripping depths were 0 cm, 15 cm and 30 cm. Soils chosen for the study were...
