Application of Advanced Oxidation Processes for Treatment of Naphthenic Acids in Oil Sands Process Water
DownloadFall 2013
The large volume of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) produced by the oil sands industries in Northern Alberta, Canada, is an environmental concern. The toxicity of OSPW has been attributed to a complex mixture of naturally occurring acids, including naphthenic acids (NAs). NAs are a broad...

Reclamation of Unconventional Oil Processed Water through the Adsorption of Naphthenic Acids by Carbon Xerogel
DownloadFall 2017
This study examines the use of carbon xerogel (CX) material for the adsorption of naphthenic acids (NAs). The adsorption of NAs is crucial for the reclamation of unconventional oil processed water, more specifically Alberta’s oil sands process-affected water (OSPW). CX material is synthesized at...
