Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy to Study Bitumen and Clay Interaction in Oil Sands Tailings
DownloadFall 2016
Oil sands tailings management remains to be a major challenge for oil industry in Canada. Promoting quick settling of fines in tailings ponds is the key to its treatment. Bitumen lost to tailings during oil sands extraction is also believed to hinder settling and consolidation of clays in...

Fall 2012
Built on the established success of Al-PAM, an in-house synthesized, organic-inorganic hybrid polymer, for flocculation and filtration of fresh oil sands extraction tailings, this research is to understand working mechanism of Al-PAM, focusing on the effect of Al-PAM properties (molecular weight...

Spring 2016
In this study, a two-step flocculation method by combining anionic and cationic polymeric flocculants on the treatment of oil sands tailings was investigated. Compared to conventional flocculation by using a single anionic or cationic polymer, which has been a widely exploited procedure for...

Using Surface Geopolymerisation Reactions to Strengthen Athabasca Oil Sands Mature Fine Tailings
DownloadFall 2015
Bitumen extraction from oil sands operation in Fort McMurray, Canada produces an immense quantity of slurry waste that is discharged to tailings ponds. These ponds now stretch over a region which is roughly 1.5 times the area occupied by Vancouver city mainly due to slow consolidation process of...
