Example Embodiment

[0036] Example 1

[0037] use figure 1 The process uses solvents to separate oil sands, and the weight content of bitumen in oil sands is 20%

[0038] 5 kg of oil sand particles crushed to a size of 20mm by the high-temperature water crushing and desander of the spiral drum are sent to the primary stirring tank 3 and mixed with the organic solvent I at 25°C, stirred for 10 minutes, and then sent to the primary suspension separator 4. liquid-solid separation;

[0039] The organic solvent I is a mixture of n-octane and isobutyraldehyde, and the volume ratio is n-octane:isobutyraldehyde=1:5;

[0040] The mass ratio of organic solvent I to oil sand is 2:1;

[0041] The separated extraction phase is sent to the subsequent refining process 24, and the asphalt and organic solvent I are separated, and the organic solvent I is recycled;

[0042] The extraction rate of the obtained oil sand bitumen is 100%, and the solvent recovery rate is 100%.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for separating oil and sands by adopting a mixed solvent. The method comprises the following steps: 1, mixing oil sands with an organic solvent I to obtain an organic solvent I and oil sand mixed slurry, wherein the organic solvent is a mixture of alkane and one or more of alcohols or aldehydes; and 2, carrying out primary solid-liquid separation on the mixed slurry obtained in step 1, respectively collecting an extraction phase which is an asphalt and organic solvent I mixture and a raffinate phase which is a primary residual sand and organic solvent I mixture, sending the collected extraction phase to a subsequent purifying process, and extracting asphalt through the purifying process. The method allows the extraction rate of obtained oil sand asphalt to be 100% and the solvent recovery rate to be 100%, has the advantages of convenient sources, easy obtaining and recycling of the solvent, and reduction of environment pollution, and can be used in complete oil-sand separation in the oil sand mine exploitation field.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of separating bitumen from oil sands. Background technique [0002] Natural oil sand is a transformation product of petroleum, which is formed by the penetration of petroleum crude oil into the ground, in which the light components are evaporated, and then oxidized by oxygen in the air under sunlight, and then polymerized to become asphalt minerals, mainly composed of asphaltene, Colloids such as resins, and a small amount of metal and non-metal and other mineral impurities, natural oil sands are also called tar sands, heavy oil sands, and asphalt sands. [0003] At present, natural oil sands account for 66% of the world's oil reserves, mainly distributed in Canada. At present, Canada's recoverable crude oil is estimated to be 315 billion barrels, second only to Saudi Arabia. Other areas are distributed in the United States, Russia, Venezuela, Indonesia, France, Switzerland, Italy, Trinidad and Tobago, Albania...
