Fall 2020
New sanitation is developed based on wastewater source-diversion and on-site treatment to maximize resource recovery from domestic wastewater. Blackwater stream collected from toilets is rich in organics and nutrients, and the rest greywater stream contains major water content. The primary...

Application of Anoxic-Aerobic Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs) for Oil Sands Process-Affected Water (OSPW) Treatment
DownloadFall 2016
The enormous volumes of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) produced during oil sands bitumen extraction have been a public concern due to the toxicity and persistence of the organic contaminants contained in the water. Among all the contaminants in OSPW, naphthenic acids (NAs) are regarded...

Contribution of the Rumen Epithelial Transcriptome and Microbial Community to Variation in Beef Cattle Feed Efficiency
DownloadSpring 2016
Feed efficient cattle consume less feed and produce less environmental waste than inefficient cattle. Many factors are known to contribute to differences in feed efficiency. However, it is unknown how the rumen epithelium and its associated microorganisms influence the feed efficiency of cattle....

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...

Long Term Dynamics And Potential Remediation Of Fine Textured Soils And Ground Water Contaminated With Chlorinated Organic Compounds And Salts
DownloadFall 2019
Contamination of land, water, and air is a widespread concern often associated with anthropogenic activities. Remediation of contaminated sites is necessary to minimize negative impacts on human health and the environment and allow for safe, productive use of land. Although contaminated sites...

Methanogenesis in oil sands tailings: an analysis of the microbial community involved and its effects on tailings densification
DownloadSpring 2010
Densification of tailings slurries to mature fine tailings (MFT) is important in the oil sands industry for tailings inventory reduction, pore water recovery and tailings reclamation. The cause of methane release from the tailings pond of Shell Albian Sands (Albian) and the effects this process...

Fall 2015
Assessment of microbial community development is required to determine the success of reclamation process on disturbed land after mining. Peat (PMM) or LFH mineral soil mix (LFH) is used as capping material in reclamation. Application of coarse woody debris (CWD) also facilitates reclamation by...

Treatment of Oil Sands Process-affected Water (OSPW) Using Integrated Fixed-film Activated Sludge (IFAS) Reactors
DownloadFall 2016
The oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) generated from bitumen extraction of oil sands, is currently stored in tailings ponds due to its toxicity to the aquatic organisms. The primary toxic constituents of OSPW are a complex mixture of alicyclic and aliphatic compounds containing carboxyl...
