The accumulation of oil sands tailings poses serious environmental issues in Alberta, Canada. In the tailings ponds, the fine clays and residual bitumen form the so-called mature fine tailings (MFT) which contain 30~40 wt% fine solid particles primarily below 44 µm in size, 1~3 wt% residual...

This work is devoted to CFD-based numerical studies of oil separation from sand particles under the influence of water flow velocity. A single micro-scale (diameter of 100nm) particle is covered by a thin oil film which is immersed in a uniform flow. The oil-particle separation has been modeled...

To overcome the challenges of low recovery of fine particles in flotation processes, designing a cavitating device that can enhance the recovery has been a major topic of study. In the design of a cavitating device, the bubble/bubble interactions, bubble response to the change of local pressure,...

Current oil sands mining and bitumen extraction methods produce a significant amount of tailings. Recent legislation in Alberta aims to guarantee operators treat their tailings and reclaim them 10 years after the end of mine life. Since 2012, oil sand companies have spent more than $1.3 billion...

Complex concentrated slurry flows in horizontal pipelines are widely seen in many industries for transportation of solid particles or process wastes. i.e., tailings. Slurry flows can occur in a turbulent regime, and the carrier fluid usually shows a non–Newtonian behavior. Understanding the flow...

Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is a process in which coal is converted to syngas in-situ. UCG has gained popularity recently as it could be used to extract energy of deep-lying coal seams, and it reduces the footprints attributed to the gasification process. In this study, two models have...
