Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for transporting, flocculating, and dewatering an aqueous tailings stream. Said method comprises adding a flocculant composition comprising a poly(ethylene oxide) (co)polymer with the aqueous tailings stream wherein the aqueous tailings stream has 15 wt % or less solids. Said method is particularly useful for the treatment of suspensions of particulate material, especially waste mineral slurries, especially for the treatment of tailings and other waste material resulting from mineral processing, in particular, the processing of oil sands tailings.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of dewatering an aqueous mineral suspension comprising introducing into the suspension a flocculating system comprising a mixture of polyethylene glycol and polyethylene oxide polymers, in particular a mixture of one or more low molecular mass polyethylene glycol with one or more high molecular mass polyethylene oxide. Said mixture of polyethylene glycol and polyethylene oxide polymers is useful for the treatment of suspensions of particulate material, especially waste mineral slurries. The invention is particularly suitable for the treatment of tailings and other waste material resulting from mineral processing, in particular, the processing of oil sands tailings.

Abstract: Repolyols can be quickly produced by combining fragments of a polyurethane product which with a reagent which is an organic acid or an anhydride of the organic acid or a mixture thereof to form a reaction mixture, and heating the reaction mixture to a reaction temperature greater than a melting point of the reagent for a reaction time of no greater than two hours. The organic acid comprises two carboxylic acid groups linked to each other through a linking group having two or three carbon atoms in the linking chain. The anhydride can include a 5 or 6 member cyclic structure with the group —C(O)—O—C(O)—.

Abstract: Phosgene is mixed with an organic polyamine to produce polyisocyanate compounds. A phosgene flow is established in a conduit (15), and the organic polyamine is injected into the phosgene flow. A constricted region (4) of the conduit (15) resides downstream of the point of the polyamine injection. The presence of the constricted region (4) reduces by-product formation.

Abstract: Embodiments relate continuous process for treating tailings that includes providing tailings for treatment having at least 20 wt % solids, providing a mixing apparatus having a first inlet for feeding the tailings, a second inlet for feeding flocculants, an outlet for a mixture of the tailings and flocculants, and a rotating disk, the first inlet being separate from the second inlet, the second inlet being above the rotating disk, and the rotating disk having a tip speed at least 2 m/s, continuously introducing into the mixing apparatus the tailings through the first inlet and the flocculants through the second inlet, allowing the tailings and the flocculants to mix on the rotating disk to form the mixture of the tailings and flocculants, continuously removing the mixture of the tailings and flocculants through the outlet to form a treated mixture, and flowing the treated mixture from the mixing apparatus for further treatment or to a disposal area.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining the clay content of an oil sands tailings stream. The method comprises treating an oil sands tailings stream with a PEO flocculant, passing the mixture through a dynamic mixer comprising a mixer shaft and a power drive for rotating said shaft, wherein the power input needed to maintain a mixer rotational speed (RPM) is measured. For an oil sands tailings stream having a specified solids content, the power measurement and PEO dosage level is correlated to a clay content characterization index, for example methylene blue index (MBI), to determine in real-time the clay content during the processing of an oil sands tailings stream.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an in-line mixing apparatus and use therein for adding a polymer solution and dewatering an aqueous mineral suspension. Said method comprises statically mixing the aqueous mineral suspension with a poly(ethylene oxide) (co) polymer to form a dough-like material. The viscous mixture material is then dynamically mixed in an in-line reactor 40 to reduce the mixture viscosity and to form microflocs and release water. Said method is particularly useful for the treatment of suspensions of particulate material, especially waste mineral slurries, especially for the treatment of tailings and other waste material resulting from mineral processing, in particular, the processing of oil sands tailings.

Abstract: A process for preparing an isocyanate product includes providing a phosgene inlet stream and an amine in solvent inlet stream to a phosgenation mixer, the amine in-solvent inlet stream including one or more amines and one or more inert solvents, and during steady state operation compensating for a fouling pressure drop increase by decreasing a pressure drop in the phosgenation mixer over a time period divided into at least a first period of time T1 and a second period of time T2 that is subsequent to the first period of time T1. During the second period of time T2 an amine concentration of the one or more amines in the amine-in-solvent stream is higher than during the first period of time T1, and during the second period of time T2 a phosgene-to-amine ratio value in the phosgenation mixer is higher than during the first period of time T1.
