Probing mineral-bitumen liberation using rheological measurements

The rheology of oil sand slurries was investigated under different physicochemical conditions in an attempt to establish a correlation between bitumen liberation and slurry rheology. Synthetic mixtures of bitumen with fine quartz of varying bitumen content, as well as actual oil sand ores, were used...
