ACPA Seminar Series: Clays & Clay Minerals Impact on Oil Sands Tailings Behavior

Clays & clay minerals have long been recognized as having a significant impact on oil sands tailings behavior, with increased clay content being associated with slower settling, higher required flocculant dosages and longer consolidation times. The Methylene blue index (MBI) is a simple index test that provides an indication of clay activity.

Events

With the success of our first mixers in Edmonton and Calgary in March, we thought we’d do it again! The ACPA would like to invite you to come out and join us for a little in-person socializing! Renew old friendships and acquaintances, make new ones, bring a friend or two – we even accept non-chemists!! Students and professionals who are thinking about joining the ACPA (pchem.ca) are welcome to attend. A great chance to rub elbows with other members and learn about what they do … also an opportunity to connect with a future employer or employee!

There will be two simultaneous events, one in each of Edmonton and Calgary, from 2-5 pm on Saturday October 28th. Admission is free, and attendees will cover their own

food and beverage expenses.

Don't miss the fun. Register Today!
