Blends of bitumen, clay, and quartz in water are obtained from the surface mining of the
Athabasca Oil Sands. To facilitate its transportation through pipelines, this mixture is usually …

Heat recovery from a high-temperature wastewater is the major concern in the conventional
textile industry. However, limited space in the textile plant is an important constraint for the …

The prediction of phase equilibria for hydrocarbon/water blends in separators, is a subject of
considerable importance for chemical processes. Despite its relevance, there are still …

Naphtha is used to dilute the froth from bitumen treatment. Naphtha is recovered using a
Naphtha Recovery Unit (NRU) and sent back to the froth dilution step. To minimize the …

Bitumen is extracted from oil sands using warm water and additives. The resulting bitumen
froth is diluted with naphtha in a froth treatment process. Residual naphtha in the aqueous …

The present study reports result from research into vapor–liquid–liquid phase equilibrium for
n-octane highly diluted in water and water highly diluted in n-octane blends, using a …

Flash calculations, including phase split and phase classification for both n-octane/water
blends and paraffinic aromatic synthetic naphtha (PASN)/water blends present significant …
