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: A system for the treatment of oxidizable contaminants in wastewater includes a contaminant treatment vessel and a hydrogen peroxide supply unit. The hydrogen peroxide supply unit includes a hydrogen peroxide transfer line in fluid communication with the contaminant treatment vessel with an air-gap. A wastewater feed stream may also be in fluid communication with the contaminant treatment vessel. A contaminant treatment vessel effluent stream may also be in fluid communication with the contaminant treatment vessel. A method for the treatment of oxidizable contaminants in wastewater includes supplying wastewater to a contaminant treatment vessel, supplying hydrogen peroxide to the contaminant treatment vessel so that the supply is above the maximum filling level of the vessel in an air-gap, and contacting wastewater in the contaminant treatment vessel with hydrogen peroxide. Contacting wastewater with hydrogen peroxide reduces the concentration of oxidizable contaminants based on the concentration of oxidizable contaminants in the wastewater feed stream.

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 an in situ staged steam extraction method for removing petroleum products from a heavy oil or bitumen reservoir from subterranean locations. Specifically, each injection stage comprises a different steam composition. A steam composition may consist essentially of steam or may comprise one or more enhanced oil recovery agent.

Abstract: A process for separating a catalyst component from a catalyst-containing slurry by centrifugation including separating the catalyst component from the mother liquor of the catalyst-containing slurry using a stacked disc centrifuge equipped with an auto-discharging functionality. The solids discharge from the stacked disc centrifuge is enhanced by adding a washing solution to the bowl and the solids discharge chute of the stacked disc centrifuge.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for flocculating and dewatering oil sands fine tailings. Said method comprises mixing the aqueous mineral suspension with a poly(ethylene oxide) (co)polymer to form a dough-like material. The material is then dynamically mixed in an in-line reactor to break down the dough-like material to form microflocs having an average size of 1 to 500 microns, and to release water. The internal diameter of the in-line reactor is at most five times the internal diameter of the inlet pipe of the reactor. The suspension of microflocs has a viscosity of at most 1000 cP and a yield stress of at most 300 Pa.
