Electrokinetic Dewatering of Oil Sands Tailings
Oil sands tailings are the final product of oil sands processing and in the form of slurry with very low solid content. After sedimentation, due to a low hydraulic conductivity of the tailings, both dewatering and consolidating the tailings are difficult. Since electrokinetic (EK) is an effective …

SEE. I AM ONE. BALANCING POWER IN GENOMICS RESEARCH OF CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS TO CLEAN OIL SANDS TAILINGS WATER
… treatment wetland systems (CTWS) to remediate oil sands processed water (OSPW), I was positioned to study the researchers, research, and community perspectives, to contribute to a gap on how these collaborations can increase their effectiveness in using multiple ways of knowing. My work …

Evaluating the Metal Tolerance Capacity of Oil Sands Tailings Microbes, and their Ability to Degrade Naphthenic Acids While Attached to Biochar
Alberta’s oil sands process water (OSPW) was used herein as a case to investigate co-contaminated wastewater treatment; naphthenic acids (NAs, implicated for OSPW toxicity) and metals have been reported in OSPW. This thesis sought to evaluate the metal tolerances of a native OSPW microbial …

Environmental Remediation Through Tailings Solvent Recovery Unit (TSRU) Waste: Synthesizing Activated Carbon-Zeolite (ACZ) Composites for Enhanced Carbon Dioxide Capture
In Alberta, synthetic crude oil is produced from the oil sands. After oil extraction from the oil sands generated waste is dumped into the tailings ponds. It has been studied that the tailings ponds have an affinity to release carbon dioxide and methane into the environment due to the microbial …
