Application of Electro-oxidation for the Degradation of Organics in Oil Sands Process Water (OSPW)
DownloadFall 2019
Large volumes of oil sands process water (OSPW) are generated during the extraction of bitumen from the mined oil sands ores in northern Alberta. The treatment of OSPW is currently considered a serious challenge facing the oil sands industry in the region. Among the different constituents in...
