This is the first large-scale field pilot study that examined the feasibility and effectiveness of
petroleum coke (PC), produced by a Fluid Coking Process, as an adsorbent for oil sands …

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 …

Petroleum coke (PC) is a waste by-product generated during the oil upgrading processes by
the petroleum industry. The continuing accumulation of large quantities of PC requires the …

The accumulation of organic contaminants in process-affected (PA) water represents an
environmental liability for oil sands operators. Oil sands coke is a promising adsorbent for …

Oil sands companies produce substantial quantities of tailings known to contain high
concentrations of dissolved organic by-products. The use of petroleum coke was proposed …

Alberta's oil sands petroleum coke (PC) generation has in recent years surpassed 10 million
tonnes. Petroleum coke has been proposed as an industrial-scale sorbent to reduce …

Petroleum coke‐derived activated cokes were prepared and used for the adsorptive removal
of a single‐ring naphthenic acid (NA) from synthetic oil sands process affected water …

Alberta produces large volumes of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) as a result of
bitumen extraction and upgrading processes. Naphthenic acids (NAs) and other organic …

This study illustrated the preparation, characterization and the use of carbon xerogel
materials for the adsorption of acid-extractable fractions (AEF) and naphthenic acids (NAs) …

The production of oil from oil sands in northern Alberta has led to the generation of large
volumes of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) that was reported to be toxic to aquatic …
