The highly-efficient and economically-feasible technology for bitumen recovery from US oil sands using a water extraction approach was developed at the end of the last century. This water-based bitumen extraction process has been optimized based on observations and analysis of microscopic mechanisms of bitumen release from oil sands and the bitumen transfer to a froth product as well as measurements of interfacial properties of bitumen. The wetting mechanisms that occur in the diluent-assisted water-based processing of US oil sands include bitumen film rupture and recession on sand grains and bitumen transfer to nucleated and injected gas bubbles. 2, record 1, English, - water%2Dbased%20bitumen%20extraction%20process

[Le] traitement des sables bitumineux fait appel à un procédé à l'eau chaude pour l'extraction du bitume des sables bitumineux. 1, record 1, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20l%27eau%20chaude%20pour%20l%27extraction%20du%20bitume

L'extraction du bitume se fait par le procédé à l'eau chaude, mis au point par Karl Clark en 1929. Ce procédé consiste à placer le sable bitumineux dans d'énormes tambours rotatifs et à le mélanger avec de l'eau chaude et de la vapeur. Le bitume se sépare du sable et se lie aux bulles d'air. Le tout est tamisé et déposé dans des contenants de formes coniques permettant la séparation. Le bitume lié à l'air est récolté sous forme de mousse, contenant 65% de pétrole, 25% d'eau et 10% de solides. Après avoir mélangé le tout à l'aide de grosses centrifugeuses, trois couches sont observées. Les grosses particules de sables se déposent au fond, qui sont pompés vers une décharge et utilisés dans la construction des digues. La couche intermédiaire est constituée d'un mélange d'eau, de petites particules de bitumes et quelques minéraux, qu'on appelle mixtes. Cette eau intermédiaire est retirée et pompée afin de les réutiliser dans le processus d'extraction. Enfin, le bitume flotte à la surface, ce qui permet de le récupérer avec un pourcentage de 88 à 95%. 3, record 1, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20l%27eau%20chaude%20pour%20l%27extraction%20du%20bitume

The voids [in a reservoir assembly where oil has accumulated] are full of water before the accumulation takes place. The oil, which is always both lighter than the water and immiscible with it, makes room for itself by pushing the water downward in the reservoir rock. However, "it does not displace all of the original water". A film of adsorbed or "wetting" water remains lining the pore walls. This water has been called the "irreductible interstitial water.

This intermediate solution interacts with the gaseous species in such a way as to produce a change in a measured value (e.g. pH) of the intermediate solution.
