Assessment of Bitumen Re c overy from the Athabasca Oil Sands Using a Laboratory Denver Flotation Cell

A methodology was developed in this study to evaluate the effect of operating parameters on the processability of oil sands using small‐scale laboratory experimental devices. By subtracting bitumen recovered to the froth by entrainment with water, the concept of “true flotation recovery” is proposed to describe bitumen recovery resulting from bitumenbubble attachment. The experimental results indicated that “true flotation recovery” is a more sensitive and meaningful marker than overall bitumen recovery to evaluate the processability of oil sands using small‐scale laboratory test units.     

Hydrogen and Oxygen Bubble Attachment to a Bitumen Drop

Air bubble – bitumen attachment is a critical step in the flotation of bitumen from mined oil sand. In this study, single bubble – bitumen drop attachment was observed directly using a novel experimental technique. Induction time is determined and used as an indication of bubble‐bitumen attachment potency for both hydrogen and oxygen bubbles. The attachment tests were conducted in deaerated municipal water (City of Edmonton tap water) at temperatures ranging from 22–50°C. Induction times measured for hydrogen bubble attachment were shorter than those for oxygen bubbles. Coalescence tests were also conducted in the absence of bitumen, and showed that hydrogen bubbles coalesced more rapidly than oxygen bubbles in both deaerated municipal water and clear (solids‐free) process water.

Matching ratio between positive and negative electrodes for double-layer capacitors

For double-layer capacitors in alkaline electrolyte, the specific capacitance of the positive electrode is not equal to that of the negative one. Thus, capacitor performance cannot be optimal with a positive/negative electrode matching ratio of 1. In this study nanoporous glassy carbons (NPGCs) were employed as the electrodes of capacitors, and the influence of matching ratio between positive and negative electrode on capacitor performance was systematically investigated. In aqueous KOH, the specific capacitance of the positive electrode is lower than that of the negative electrode. The matching ratio at which a maximum capacitance is obtained is dependent on the values of the positive and negative electrode capacitance. At low current rate, the highest specific capacitance is achieved at a matching ratio slightly higher than 1. At high current rate, a capacitor has the highest specific capacitance with the lowest resistance at a matching ratio of 1.5. This indicates that an optimum matching relationship between positive and negative electrodes is attained.     

Modelling Gas Holdup in Flotation Column Froths

A one‐dimensional steady‐state model is developed for the prediction of axial variation of the gas holdup in flotation column froths. Froth is considered as an inverse fluidized bed of bubbles and hence the frictional pressure gradient is obtained based on the energy balance. Pressure gradient can also be obtained from the Ergun equation with adjustable constants. The model correctly captures the effect of superficial gas velocity, superficial liquid velocity and bubble diameter on the variation of the gas holdup along the froth height. The predictions of the model are in agreement with the experimental data from the literature.
