The dispersing action of polysaccharides in oil sand slurries

Six carboxymethyl celluloses (CMC) of different degrees of substitution, molecular weights, and molecular weight distributions (MWDs) were researched as dispersants of oil sand slurries. The molecular weights and MWDs were determined by analytical ultracentrifugation. Viscometric studies on dilute s...
