The invention discloses an oil sand
separation method, and belongs to the technical field of oil sand separation. The oil sand
separation method comprises following steps: an oil sand
raw material issubjected to crushing and
drying, and is introduced into an extractor; the oil sand
raw material is subjected to extraction using a composite
solvent in the extractor so as to obtain an
asphalt and composite
solvent mixed oil through separation; the
asphalt and composite
solvent mixed oil is pumped into a filter, impurities are removed, and the
asphalt and composite solvent mixed oil is pumped into a
distillation still for
evaporation so as to obtain asphalt oil, and the asphalt oil is pumped into an asphalt tank; the composite solvent gas is converted into liquid through condensation for recycling; a mixed material obtained in the extractor is heated to 90 to 130 DEG C, the vacuum degree is controlled to be 2 to 3KPa, stirring is carried out, the composite solvent in
tailings is convertedinto gas state for discharging, the composite solvent gas is subjected to condensation so as to obtain a liquid for recycling, and
tailings output is carried out. According to the oil sand separationprocess, the specific composite solvent and technological parameters are adopted for
processing of oil sand, the asphalt extraction rate in oil sand is 97% or higher, and asphalt left in the tailingsis low.
