Adsorbents for the Removal of Naphthenic Acids from Oil Sands Process Water: Investigation of Reclamation Materials from Surface Mining of Oil Sands and Development of Biochars from Biological Sludge and Peat
DownloadSpring 2023
Crominski da Silva Medeiros, Deborah C.
Oil sands process water (OSPW) is generated in high quantities during the extraction of the bitumen from the oil sands. Naphthenic acids (NAs) are recalcitrant compounds, corresponding more than 50% of all organics in OSPW. The efficient management of OSPW is of importance to guarantee efficient...

Fall 2015
Pine sawdust biochars produced at 300 and 550 °C with and without steam activation were assessed for its sorption capacity for phosphate and copper (Cu (II)) in aqueous solutions using batch sorption experiments, including isotherm and kinetic studies. This study implied that pine sawdust...

Biochar for Saline-Sodic Soil Reclamation, Phosphorus Retention, and Crop Growth Improvement
DownloadSpring 2018
Biochar incorporation into soils influences many of the soilâs physical/chemical properties. The potential of using biochar for reclamation of saline-sodic soils is not well evaluated. Furthermore, how salinity would influence Phosphorus (P) sorption capacity of biochar is not clear. The main...

Carbon and Nitrogen Mineralization and Microbial Succession in Oil Sands Reclamation Soils Amended with Pyrogenic Carbon
Download2014-12-31
Mackenzie, M.D., Lanoil, B., Hofstetter, S., Hatam, I.
Land reclamation of oil sands disturbed boreal forests in Alberta is a challenging task facing companies with surface mine leases. The government requires reclamation to equivalent land capability, which is a vague statement at best. Agronomic theories and methodologies have been applied in the...

Characterization and evaluation of residual feed intake measured in mid- to late-gestation mature beef cows and relationships with circulating serum metabolites and linear body measurements
Download2014
Miller, S. P., Swanson, K. C., Wood, K. M., Montanholi, Y. R., Fitzsimmons, C. F, McBride, B. W.
To evaluate the use of residual feed intake (RFI) models measured in mid-to-late gestating beef cows, a dataset was used combining data from five experiments containing nine treatment and/or replicate groups for a total of 321 animal records. Investigations of RFI models included the effects of...

The increasing abundance of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has attracted growing interest due to concern about the potential hazards to public health and ecosystems. Due to PFAS toxicity, mobility, environmental persistence, and strong bioaccumulation, they are being further...
