Soils inventory of the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program study area - Appendix 9.4
Download1982
Turchenek, L. W., Lindsay, J. D.
Soil morphology, site descriptions, and physical and chemical data for 130 soil profiles from the AOSERP study area are presented in this section. Except for some miscellaneous land units, each of the soil groups are represented by at least one profile description. For many of the soil groups,...

Some methods for treating tar sands tailings: Part 1 - laboratory application of CO2 process and related testing of type "X" treatment
Download1973
This report concerns some methods whereby the liquid waste from plants using the Clark hot water process to extract bitumen from tar sands is rendered clean. This report describes some novel experiments on liquid tailings from the G. C. O. S. plant, which may lead to an economically feasible...

Graveland, D. N., McCoy, D. A., Regier, H. F.
Physical and chemical analyses of spent sand indicate that this material is very infertile. The spent sand samples analysed had an average pH of 7.2 and low Na content indicating that there was no residual problem resulting from the NaOH used in the oil production process. Freshly processed...

Standard Operating Procedures for Analysis of Naphthenic Acids from Oil Sands Process-Affected Water
Download2014-12-08
Mahdavi, H., Hepperle, S., Burkus, Z., Mian, H.
Naphthenic acids (NAs) are considered the main source of chronic and acute toxicity in oil sands process-affected water (OSPW). The purpose of this investigation is to establish elements of a standard procedure to determine and minimize the amount of NA loss during storage, sample preparation...
