This study investigated the application of polyaluminum chloride (PACl) and potassium ferrate(VI) for the treatment of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW). In addition, the performance of potassium ferrate(VI) was compared with other oxidation processes, including UV/hydrogen peroxide (H2O2),...

Coagulation/Flocculation/Sedimentation (CFS), petroleum coke (PC) adsorption, and zero valent iron (ZVI) oxidation-enhanced by PC were applied for the remediation of oil sands process-affected water (OPSW), generated from oil sands operations in northern Alberta, Canada. OSPW is a complex mixture...

The mining industry has become increasingly concerned with the effects of uncertainty and risk in resource modeling. Some companies are moving away from deterministic geologic modeling techniques to approaches that quantify uncertainty. Stochastic modeling techniques produce multiple realizations...
