Abstract | There is a method of facilitating the consolidation of fine tailings through the application of an electrical current. The fine tailings include a combination of at least some water and some clay particles. Electrodes are placed into contact with the fine tailings. An AC voltage with a DC offset is applied to the electrodes to separate water from the clay particles and to induce movement of the separated water to a collection area. The separated clay particles can consolidate more readily than unseparated clay particles. In an embodiment, the fine tailings are mixed fine oil sands extraction tailings which include residual hydrocarbons. In an embodiment, the application of an AC voltage with a DC offset across the electrodes includes applying an AC voltage of about 1 V/cm and a DC offset of about 1/2 V/cm.
Linvention concerne un procédé permettant de faciliter la consolidation des résidus fins par lapplication dun courant électrique. Les résidus fins sont constitués dune combinaison comprenant au moins de leau et des particules dargile. Des électrodes entrent en contact avec les résidus fins. Une tension CA avec un décalage CC est appliquée sur les électrodes pour séparer leau des particules dargile et pour induire le mouvement de leau séparée à une zone de collecte. Les particules dargile séparées peuvent se consolider plus rapidement que les particules dargile non séparées. Selon un mode de réalisation, les résidus fins sont des résidus fins dextraction de sables bitumineux mélangés qui comportent des hydrocarbures résiduels. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, lapplication dune tension CA avec un décalage CC par le biais des électrodes comprend lapplication dune tension CA denviron 1 V/cm et dun décalage CC denviron ½ V/cm. |
