SUMMARY:Seminar - “Flocculation of Mature Fine Tailings: Is there a Solut
 ion\nin Sight for the Canadian Oil Sands Environmental Challenge?” by\nJ
 oao B.P. Soares\, Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering\,\nUniv
 ersity of Alberta\, Edmonton\, AB
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:  Oil sands are a strategic resource for Canada\, but
  despite\ntechnological advances in extraction techniques\, the treatment 
 of\ntailing ponds resulting from bitumen extraction is plagued by many\nen
 vironmental challenges. The crucial technical challenge is to\nseparate bi
 tumen from the sand and clay particles\, then flocculate or\nstack the cla
 y particles to release water that can be recycled to the\nbitumen extracti
 on process. The clays can then be placed in the mine\,\ngiving rapid recla
 mation without forming tailing ponds that may take\ndecades to be reclaime
