Carbohydrate-Modified Microgels as a System for Extracting Naphthenic Acids from Tailings Pond Water
DownloadFall 2015
Northern Alberta houses massive tailings ponds, that store aqueous waste as a result of the processes employed to recover bitumen from the oil sand deposits. The aqueous waste, or tailings pond water (TPW), houses numerous toxic chemicals including naphthenic acids (NAs) - a complex group of...
