Anaerobic biodegradation of hydrocarbons in different oil sands tailings ponds: key microbial players and main activation pathway of hydrocarbon biodegradation
DownloadFall 2016
Anaerobic biodegradation of hydrocarbons is an important process in oil sands tailings ponds, which directly affects consolidation of tailings and extent of greenhouse gas emissions from tailings ponds. Since tailings ponds from different operators differ due to extraction process, age of...

Applications of Lime and Enzymes for Oil Sands Tailings Management: Dewatering and Mitigation of Methane Emissions
DownloadSpring 2023
The remediation of oil sands tailings is a crucial environmental aspect of the Canadian oil sands industry. Oil sands tailings management involves the endless storage of massive volumes of fluid fine tailings (FFT). The slow gravity settling of tailings, the release of toxic compounds, and the...

Enhancing Anaerobic Digestion Efficiency of High Strength Wastes with Different Solid Contents
DownloadSpring 2023
Anaerobic digestion has been considered as a sustainable technology to treat a wide range of organic wastes and to recovery value-added products such as methane and fatty acids. However, several factors such as low temperature and high solids content of substrates would lead to the imbalance of...

EVALUATION OF MEDIUM-CHAIN FATTY ACID SUPPLEMENTATION EFFECTS ON DAIRY COW PERFORMANCE AND RUMEN FERMENTATION
DownloadSpring 2022
Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) are fatty acids with chain lengths between 6-12 carbons and are primarily metabolized by the liver, however they may be absorbed and metabolized by intestinal mucosa. Medium-chain fatty acids provide the animal with available energy quicker as compared to other...

Granular activated carbon sparking anaerobic digestion: the path to municipal sewage resource recovery
DownloadSpring 2023
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an effective and economical technology that can convert organic pollutants to biomethane, playing a pivotal role in resource recovery and greenhouse gas emission control. However, the anaerobic treatment of municipal sewage under psychrophilic conditions faces...

Collins, Catherine Elizabeth Victoria
Surface mining for bitumen extraction results in production of tailings that are deposited into large ponds. Tailings in the ponds support diverse microbial communities capable of metabolizing organic compounds and producing biogenic gases (methane, CH4 and carbon dioxide, CO2). Because of low...
