Behavior of Bitumen-coated Fine Solids in Organic Media from Non-aqueous Extraction of Oil Sands
DownloadFall 2019
The non-aqueous extraction (NAE) technique for recovering bitumen from oil sands ore has been proposed as a potential substitute to the conventional water-based extraction method in order to reduce the environmental and carbon footprint of extracting this natural resource. In the NAE process,...

Removing Fine Solids from Bitumen through Water-assisted Flocculation using Biomolecules Extracted from Guar Beans
DownloadFall 2020
Non-aqueous extraction (NAE) of bitumen came to be due to the necessity for an alternative method to water-based extraction. However, NAE has its own challenges. One of the challenges is the elimination of suspended fine solids from solvent-diluted bitumen. This research focuses on the effect of...
