Sealed samples of specific aqueous hot-water-process-tar-sands-extraction streams and tailings pond sludges have been examined microbiologically and shown to contain compatible micro-organisms. Portions of these have been treated aerobically and anaerobically, with and without added nutrient, to enc

The water had a very low content of total suspended solids ( .C 1 mg I-\*), but its transparency was high (5-8 Hazen units). The concentration of Mg++ and Ca++ were below 1 mg 1-1, but that of SiO, was 5.3 mg 1-2. Free C 0 2 was abundant (15.3 mg 1-i) and the pH was low ( e 6 . 5 ) . These condition
## Abstract Fifty vegetable oilβbased polyols were characterized in terms of their hydroxyl number and their potential of replacing up to 50% of the petroleumβbased polyol in waterborne rigid polyurethane foam applications was evaluated. Polyurethane foams were prepared by reacting isocyanates with
Four perennial streams in a completely forested area were investigated. The water coolcd and warmed up during both t,he rainy and dry seasons. The chloride content of the water varied according to rainfall. Dissolved solids were relatively high (20 mgl-') a t the start of the rainy season due t o le
