Desalination of oil sands process-affected water and basal depressurization water in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada: Application of electrodialysis
The high content of inorganic species in water used to extract bitumen from the Alberta oil sands and in the groundwater below the oil sands is an increasing environmental concern. These water matrices require treatment before they can be reused or safely discharged. Desalination of the oil sands pr...
