    摘要: Methods of preparing bituminous material for extraction processing are described. The methods can include mixing bituminous material with hydrocarbon solvent before and/or during a step of crushing the bituminous material to reduce the size of clumps contained in the bituminous material. The steps of adding hydrocarbon solvent and crushing the bituminous material can be carried out multiple times.

    摘要: A process for separating bitumen from bitumen ore material includes extracting bitumen with a hydrocarbon solvent to produce a bitumen-enriched solvent phase and tailings. The tailings are dried or stripped in a dryer to remove any remaining hydrocarbon solvent. The amount of solvent discharged in the tailings may be less than 4 bbl per 1000 bbl of recovered bitumen.

    摘要: Methods for preparing solvent-dry, stackable tailings. The method can include the steps of adding a first quantity of solvent to a bitumen material to form a first mixture, separating a first quantity of bitumen-enriched solvent from the first mixture and thereby creating solvent-wet tailings, and adding a quantity of water to the solvent-wet tailings to separate a solvent component from the solvent-wet tailings and thereby forming solvent-dry, stackable tailings. The solvent used in the methods can include paraffinic solvent, such as pentane.

    摘要: Methods for transporting bitumen extraction product include providing bitumen-laden aromatic solvent, providing bitumen-laden paraffinic solvent, and blending the two materials. The resulting mixture can be transported through existing pipeline infrastructure and can use existing separation processing equipment, and thereby avoids the need for separate infrastructure for each composition. Combining the two compositions can also avoid undesirable asphaltene precipitation.

    摘要: Methods and system for extracting bitumen can include the use of a mixing drum for spraying solvent over bituminous material to help dissolve bitumen and create a bitumen-laden solvent phase that can be separated from the non-bituminous components of the bituminous material. The mixing drum can be rotating during the spraying step to help promote dissolution of bitumen. The mixing drum can also include an internal screen for separating bitumen-laden solvent from the non-bituminous material. In some embodiments, two or more mixing drums are used in series, with the non-bituminous material from the first mixing drum being sprayed with additional solvent in the second mixing drum and bitumen laden solvent from the second mixing drum being used as the solvent sprayed over bituminous material in the first mixing drum. Hydrocyclones can also be incorporated in the in system and methods for increased extraction efficiency.
