The focus of this thesis is to develop a solid content sensor based on low-level X-ray sources to monitor the settling process of FFT (Fluid fine tailings) in oil sands tailings ponds and provide calibration data for a light scattering sensor built for the same purpose. In this study,...

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...
