摘要: A process line for excavating and processing oil sands ore near a mine face. mobile excavator excavates along the length of mining conveyor. comminutor receives comminutes excavated transfers comminuted to The conveyor conveys transfer that slurry facility. facility combines with water produce pumps conditions through hydro-transport pipeline extraction as feed. feed directs stream inputs three stage countercurrent cyclone separator. separator produces bitumen rich tailings stream. is directed froth concentration unit separates into product stream, recycled fine combined treatment an additive treated pond separation dry tails phase may be collected industrial water.
