Phytoremediation Of Oil Sands Process Affected Water | Energy In A Flash

Oil sands mining produces large amounts of oil sands process affected water (OSPW) during bitumen extraction. Some constituents such as naphthenic acids, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals are primary contributors to OSPW toxicity to some organisms. Phytoremediation is a cost effective and widely acceptable technology that uses plants to remediate contaminants from the environment through bioremediation. Mesocosm scale simulated constructed wetland experiments are being conducted sequentially using native aquatic plant species in the University of Alberta greenhouse to investigate removal efficacy of naphthenic acids, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals from OSPW. This research will contribute a better understanding of phytoremediation of OSPW employing native plant species, which will provide insights in the development of future large scale OSPW remediation strategies in Alberta. Yihan Zhao is a post doctoral fellow in Dr. M Anne Naeth's lab in the Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences.The research falls under the category: Monitoring, management, and mitigation.

More than 130 researchers, 600 graduate students, post docs and other highly qualified personnel in nine faculties are studying the energy transition in over 90 different projects. Our researchers seek to develop energy technologies of the future, improve today’s energy technologies, and understand the transition between the two. We are also studying the effects of energy transition on society, the economy, and the environment. Broadly speaking, we can simplify this complex system into four broad categories: -Energy generation, harvesting, and production -Transport, storage, and access -Use, impact, and regulation -Monitoring, management, and mitigation Through our Energy in a Flash Lightning Research Speaker Series, we will explore all four of these categories, and see how broad and diverse our energy systems truly are.
