Degradation of Naphthenic Acids from Oil Sands Process Water and Groundwater Using Chemical Oxidation
DownloadFall 2013
Naphthenic acids attribute to the toxicity of oil sands process water. Naphthenic acids quantification by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy depends significantly on which standard is used and Merichem naphthenic acids are a good standard. Naphthenic acids can be removed from oil sands...

Abstract: The extraction and upgrading process for bitumen from oil sand deposits in Alberta, Canada currently requires large volumes of process water. This water demand is fulfilled by importing water and recycling/reuse of clarified process water. Reuse of the clarified water results in the...

The most prevalent oxidation states of vanadium in nature are V(IV) and V(V). Toxicity of vanadium increases with increasing oxidation state. A high-performance-liquid-chromatography inductively-coupled-plasma mass-spectrometry method was optimized for the speciation of V(IV) and V(V). It was...
