![]() | Miller, Jan D. | Effect of feed source in the hot water processing of Utah tar sand | The processing strategy for the effective separation of bitumen from low grade (K.10 weight percent bitumen) Utah tar sands by a hot water process differs significantly from that used for the processing of high grade (> 10 weight percent bitumen) Utah tar sands. Excellent separations (coefficient o... | Tar sand; Utah; bitumen; hot water separation; froth flotation | 1980 |

![]() | Miller, Jan D. | Flotation behavior of digested Asphalt Ridge tar sand | The hot water process for Utah tar sands differs significantly from that used for Canadian tar sands due to inherent differences in respective bitumen viscosities and the nature of bitumen-sand association. These differences have led to the identification of certain design criteria necessary to ac... | Tar sand; Utah; bitumen; hot water separation; froth flotation | 1981 |

![]() | Miller, Jan D. | Separation of bitumen from Utah tar sands by a hot water digestion-flotation technique | Tar sand deposits in the state of Utah contain more than 25 billion bbl of in-place bitumen. Although 30 times smaller than the well-known Athabasca tar sands, Utah tar sands do represent a significant domestic energy resource comparable to the national crude oil reserves (31.3 billion bbl). Based ... | Tar sand; Utah; bitumen; hot water separation; froth flotation | 1978 |

![]() | Miller, Jan D. | Tar sand pretreatment with diluent | Important aspects of kerosene penetration into tar sand have been investigated. The natural tar sand porosity was measured and used to analyze the performance of the hot water process. Subsequently, pretreatment experiments, using 20-kg tar sand samples (Asphalt Ridge and Whiterocks, Utah) and ker... | Tar sand; kerosene; porosity; temperature | 1993 |
