| Abstract | The distribution of heavy minerals in concentrates, obtained from Alberta oil sand tailings using acid demineralization and oil phase agglomeration, was determined by X-ray diffractometry. The data have demonstrated the effectiveness of oil phase agglomeration techniques in rejecting gangue and other unwanted minerals such as pyrite during the concentration of heavy minerals. The results also suggest that titanium minerals could possibly be separated from zircon in the mineral concentrate by acid dissolution. Due to the different modes of agitation during collection, the mineralogical components of the two samples obtained from Suncor sludge differ considerably. |
