Enhanced characterization of oil sands acid-extractable organics fractions using electrospray ionization-high resolution mass spectrometry and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy.

The open pit oil sands mining operations north of Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada, are accumulating tailings waste at a rate approximately equal to 4.9 million m3/d. Naphthenic acids are among the most toxic components within tailings to aquatic life, but structural components have largely remained unidentified.
