Abstract: The present invention provides a method for removing fine solids from an aqueous bitumen-containing stream, in particular from an aqueous bitumen-containing stream as obtained during an oil sands extraction process, the method at least comprising the steps of: (a) providing an aqueous bitumen-containing stream; (b) subjecting the aqueous bitumen-containing stream to membrane separation using a ceramic membrane, thereby obtaining a bitumen-depleted permeate stream and a bitumen-enriched retentate stream.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for dewatering oil sand tailing muds, comprising: (a) adding a flocculant into oil sand tailing muds and mixing the flocculant and the tailing muds; (b) filtering the flocculated tailing muds using a dynamic filtration system, wherein in step (b) a pressure difference is applied over the filter and wherein the dynamic filtration system comprises a means for producing a dynamic action by which the filter cake is continuously or intermittently moved, deformed and/or broken, the filter cake being the solidified material that sets on the filter during filtration. The process is useful for dewatering oil sand tailing muds from tailing ponds, such as those produced in the Athabasca Oil Fields in Canada.
