Methylmercury is a neurotoxicant that is found in fish and rice. MeHg's toxicity is mediated by
blockage of-SH and-SeH groups of proteins. However, the identification of MeHg's targets is …

Oil sands surface mining in Alberta has generated over a billion cubic metres of waste,
known as tailings, consisting of sands, silts, clays, and process-affected water that contains …

This study was aimed at removing and stabilizing heavy metals (Hg II, Zn II, Cu II, and Cd II).
A novel material (named A-EMS) for heavy metal removal was proposed by ball grinding …

This research aimed to address the issue of residual manganese in electrolytic manganese
residue (EMR), which is difficult to recycle and can easily become an environmental hazard …

The efficient dewatering of fluid fine tailings (FFT) generated from warm-water extraction of
Canadian oil sands is a major challenge that has limited the timely reclamation of the …

Atmospheric acid leaching is widely used to extract nickel from secondary resources due to
its mild effect, but the extraction efficiency of nickel still remains limited. In this work, a sulfuric …

In this study, a three-in-one nanoflocculent that consists of nanoparticles of titanomagnetite
(NTM) grafted with multiple segments of hydrophobically modified chains of polyacrylamide …

This study examined factors contributing to temporal variability (2009–2017) in total mercury
(THg) concentrations in aquatic bird eggs collected in the Peace-Athabasca Delta and Lake …

Oil sand tailings from bitumen extraction contain various contaminants, including polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons, BTEX, and naphthenic acids, which can leak into surrounding …

Sphagnum moss was collected from 22 ombrotrophic (rain-fed) bogs near open pit mines
and upgraders within the Athabasca Bituminous Sands (ABS) region of Alberta (AB) …
