Recycle Oil Pyrolysis and Extraction of Tar Sand
Western Research Institute is developing a new pyrolysis process called ROPE© (Recycle Oil Pyrolysis and Extraction) for recovering products from tar sands that require a minimum of upgrading to produce finished, marketable fuels or that can be used as a diluent to decrease the pour point of bitumen for transportation. The concept consists of two pyrolysis steps: (1) retorting tar sand at a low...

The three major oil sand areas are from highest to lowest volume of reserves-in-place (AEUB 2003) Athabasca, Cold Lake and Peace River oil sand areas notwithstanding that bitumen reserves are also evident in subcropping carbonate rocks in Athabasca and...
متن کاملUnderstanding Bitumen Recovery from Oil Sands through Colloidal and Interfacial Phenomena
Canadian oil sands are unconsolidated sand deposits that are impregnated with heavy, viscous petroleum, normally referred to as bitumen. The total bitumen in place in Alberta is estimated at 1.7 to 2.5 trillion barrels and is clearly massive by world standards. Presently, 25% of the Canadian energy needs are derived from upgraded bitumen from mined oil sands. The oil sands are a complex mixture...
متن کاملDistribution of Heavy Metals Associated with Petroleum in the Northern Persian Gulf: Bushehr and Nayband Bay Area
Parts of oil spills reach Iranian coastline along the Persian Gulf in the form of tar balls and scattered oilpatches. There are many published reports regarding oil spills reaching northern coasts of the Persian Gulf,but none report on the content of heavy metals associated with petroleum in sediments and plants ofcontaminated areas. This research was conducted to determine and map petroleum- r...
