Application of Environmental Metabolomics for Assessment of Aquatic Invertebrate Sensitivity to Naphthenic Acids
(University of Waterloo, 2023-12-14)Naphthenic acids (NAs) are a class of chemicals found in oil sands process waters (OSPW) from the extraction of bitumen from surface mined oil sand. In Alberta, Canada, OSPW is currently stored indefinitely in tailing ponds ... -
Examining oil sands dissolved carbon and microbial degradation using stable isotope analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-22)Oil sands mining operations in northeastern Alberta are rapidly expanding. Upgrading and extracting the bitumen from the sand requires large volumes of water generating large quantities of oil sands process water/materials ... -
In-Situ Chemical Oxidation of Oil Sands Process Affected Groundwater
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-01)Development of oil sands mining in Athabasca basin, NE Alberta has resulted in generation of more than 1 × 109 m3 of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) mixed with fine tailings and currently stored in about 182 km2 ...
