Pyrolysis of Oils from Unconventional Resources
Energies, 2023 In this study, oils from various sources were subjected to pyrolysis conditions; that is, without oxidizer, as the samples were heated to 500 °C, and held at that temperature.

The Use of Activated and Non-Activated Tar Sands as Adsorbents for Copper Ion Removal
Adsorption Science & Technology, 2004 Jordanian tar sands were used as an adsorbent for the removal of copper ions from aqueous solutions. Experimental results showed that the adsorption of Cu 2+ ions onto tar sands was pH- and temperature-dependent.

Tenure, the Canadian tar sands and ‘Ethical Oil’
Ethics in Science and Environmental Politics, 2015 Canada, despite its long democratic tradition, has a record of attempts to suppress inconvenient scientific findings. This has intensified since 2006, when the new conservative government of Canada began its systematic and well-documented assault on the ...

Resisting the Inevitable: Tar Sands, Regionalism and Rhetoric
European Journal of American Studies, 2014 Tar sands oil is rapidly becoming a primary means of powering the world’s petroleum-based economy. Despite some formidable barriers, an oppositional network is developing that spans the North American continent. This paper discusses the diverse nature of
