Microwave Heating Of Non-Aqueous Oil Sands Extraction Gangue: Study Of Optimal Cyclohexane-Water Mass Ratio And Solvent Recovery Rate
DownloadFall 2023
Non-aqueous bitumen extraction processes (NAE) of mined oil sands ore have been investigated to circumvent the environmental and operating limitations of the current hot water-based technology. However, one primary challenge of NAE is a solvent recovery that meets environmental and economic...
