Abstract: <p>This thesis explores the remediation of naphthenic acids (NAs) from oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) using activated carbon (AC) derived from petroleum coke (PC) chemically activated with potassium hydroxide. The research aims to identify the most effective method for the adsorptive removal of NAs by optimizing the use of economically viable KOH quantities and to apply Fourier… more
