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 …

Multiple linear regression (MLR) modeling has been successfully used to predict how water
chemistry variables influence the toxicity of cationic metals to aquatic organisms, but no MLR …

Vanadium (V) is one of the most abundant trace elements in crude oils, making it an element
of potential concern in aquatic ecosystems surrounding various industries, such as the …

Vanadium (V) is an abundant trace metal present in bitumen from the Athabasca Oil Sands
(AOS) region in Alberta, Canada. The upgrading of bitumen can result in the production of …

Vanadium (V) could present a risk for aquatic organisms from the Alberta oil sands region, if
present in high concentrations. An industry pilot project has used petroleum coke (PC) as a …

Elevated vanadium (V) concentrations in oil sands coke, which is produced and stored on
site of some major Athabasca Oil Sands companies, could pose a risk to aquatic ecosystems …

Vanadium, an abundant metal, enters the environment through natural rock weathering or
by combustion of oil products. A third pathway is the leaching of vanadium-rich building …

Daphnia magna Straus is a freshwater organism that can strive in environments with a
salinity of up to 12 psu, although its life cycle and survival are significantly affected by …

Toxicant concentrations in the natural environment vary with time and location. Aquatic
organisms living in surface waters would be exposed to fluctuating contaminant …

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 …
