Summary
Following investigation of interaction mechanisms of clay, bitumen, water and other components of oil sands' tailings at different molecular scales, the project will develop environmentally-friendly and economical polymers that could significantly increase the settling of persistent fine tailings, potentially remove trace heavy metals, and allow more water to be released for recycling and reuse in bitumen production.

Program Purpose

Program Purpose (French)
Par suite d'une enquête sur les mécanismes d'interaction de l'argile, du bitume, de l'eau et d'autres composants des résidus de sables bitumineux à différentes échelles moléculaires, le projet mettra au point des polymères économiques et écologiques qui pourraient augmenter sensiblement la décantation des fins résidus persistants, éliminer éventuellement les traces de métaux lourds et permettre de rejeter plus d'eau aux fins de recyclage et de réutilisation dans la production de bitume.
