High-molecular-weight polymer flocculants are used for accelerated dewatering of mature fine tailings (MFTs) to reclaim the land occupied by containment ponds. Two anionic polymers were used to flocculate an MFT sample containing 98% by weight of fin

The bitumen found in the oil sands of northern Alberta, Canada, represents a significant oil resource. This bitumen is extracted either from mined ore or by using in situ methods. The water-based extraction of mined ore creates large volumes of miner

Large numbers of soil samples are routinely analyzed using methylene blue (MB) titration to determine clay content. Although, the MB filter paper spot test titration is simple, it is labor-intensive, subjective, and leaves no record for subsequent re

There is interest in using mature fine tailings (MFT) in reclamation strategies of oil sands mining operations. However, simulated runoff from different dried MFT treatments is known to have elevated levels of salts, toxic ions, and naphthenic acids,

During reclamation the water associated with the runoff or groundwater flushing from dry stackable tailings technologies may become available to the reclaimed environment within an oil sands lease. Here we evaluate the performance of the emergent mac

Abstract Water availability is beginning to impact oil sands development and, as a result, several technologies to increase the percentage of recycled water are being evaluated. One such option being re-evaluated is the use of centrifuges to produce

A GeS 2 gel was prepared by sol-gel processing of Ge(OEt) 4 and H 2 S in toluene solution. The effects of H 2 S and germanium ethoxide concentrations, concentration ratio, and temperature on the microstructure of the prepared GeS 2 gels were studied.

The mineralogy of inorganic solids associated with Athabasca oil sands has been studied to elucidate the nature of the clay minerals present in the various bitumen extraction process streams. The primary clay minerals observed were kaolinite and illi

Oil sand, which is found in various deposits around the world, consists mostly of sand, surrounded by up to 18 wt% bitumen. The largest deposits known are situated in northern Alberta, Canada, where reserves of bitumen are estimated to be 1.7 trillio
