The temperature dependence of, first, the yield of bitumen extracted from oil sands and, second, of the coextracted solid particles in the bitumen was studied. Centrifugal extractions were performed in an argon (inert) atmosphere at temperatures ranging from 30°C to 150°C. The co-extracted solid par

Hydrophobic solids are known to occur in the fine tailings produced during bitumen extraction at both the Syncrude and Suncor oil sands plants. Removal of these solids, and associated residual bitumen, produces changed settling behaviour and subsequent dewatering of the remaining tailings. In this w
