Fine fluid tailings (FFT) are a by-product created during the extraction of bitumen from oil sands mining operations. Over 975 million m3 of FFT are currently being stored in tailings ponds in the Athabasca oil sands region (AOSR) of Alberta, Canada. These tailings cause industrial and...

Bitumen recovery by the water-based extraction process produces waste streams known as tailings. When discharged into the tailing ponds, the coarse solids in the tailings stream settle out quickly, while the fine solids accumulate over years of settling to a solids content of 30-35% by weight....

Measurement of Floc Size and the Influence of Size Distribution on Geotechnical Properties of Oil Sands Fluid Fine Tailings
DownloadSpring 2019
Large volumes of fluid fine tailings (FFT) from oil sands mining operations pose difficult engineering challenges because they do not readily dewater and due to their fluid state, require containment. A common approach to reduce FFT volume by water removal is to treat the clay suspension with a...
