Significant quantities of tailings are produced during the extraction of bitumen from oil sands.
Tailings are stored in tailings ponds for several years before they can be appropriately …

Naphthenic acids (NAs) are a complex mixture of organic compounds released during
bitumen extraction from mined oil sands that are important contaminants of oil sands …

Environmental reclamation of Canada's oil sands tailings ponds is among the single largest
water treatment challenges globally. The toxicity of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) …

Classical naphthenic acids (NAs) are known to be primary aquatic toxicants of concern in
the Athabasca oil sands region (AOSR), and are a component of naphthenic acid fraction …

The treatment of hypersaline oilfield wastewater (HSOW) is a challenge due to its complex
composition and low biodegradability, especially in coastal areas. In this study, an HSOW …

Bitumen extraction from surface-mined oil sands deposits results in the accumulation of
large volumes of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW). Naphthenic acids (NAs) are …

Bitumen is extracted from oil sands in the Athabasca Oil Sands region (AOSR) of Alberta,
Canada. Much of the bitumen-derived toxicity in mine waste is attributable to naphthenic …

The Alberta oil sands are among the largest oil reserves in the world and generate acutely
toxic oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) that is currently stored in tailings ponds. One …

Much of the toxicity in oil sands process-affected water in Athabasca oil sands tailings has
been attributed to naphthenic acids (NAs) and associated naphthenic acid fraction …

The reuse of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) generated during oil extraction is
becoming essential due to oil extraction efficiency and stringent environmental regulations …
