Large volumes of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) are produced by the surface-
mining oil sands industry in Alberta. Both laboratory and field studies have demonstrated …

One of the largest wastewater flows generated in the oil and gas industry is produced water
(PW), which can come from oil fields, gas fields or a combination of oil and gas fields. This …

Biochar is a promising material for facilitating the reclamation of oil sands process water
(OSPW); however, how biochar properties can be optimized for metal removal from OSPW is …

Unconventional oil and gas industries generate huge amounts of produced water (PW)
containing high concentrations of potentially hazardous organic and inorganic …

Demand for hot water treatment has opened up broad new areas of research for fabricating
thermally stable polymer membranes. In multiple industrial applications, the contaminated …

The Alberta oil sands contain one of the world's largest reserves of oil–over 169 billion
barrels of bitumen are economically recoverable with current extraction technologies …

Naphthenic acids (NAs) are widely present in crude oil and oil sands process-affected water
(OSPW). NAs in crude oil lead to corrosion problems, promote emulsion formation, decrease …

Due to a policy of no release, oil sands process-affected water (OSPW), produced by the
surface-mining oil sands industry in North Eastern Alberta, Canada, is stored on-site in …

Fate of dissolved organics and sulfate ions was studied in fixed bed biofilters (FBBs) treating
pre-treated oil sands process water (OSPW) in the presence of industrially relevant …

Water is integral to both operational and environmental aspects of the oil sands industry. A
water treatment option based on the use of petroleum coke (PC), a by-product of bitumen …
