Typically, the oil sand has 3-18 %wt bitumen, 50-75 %wt sand, 10-30 %wt clay, and 2-10 %wt water. The presence of water around the sand grains is deemed important in the extraction process. Without this water film, it is not possible to extract the bitumen from the sand with extraction technologies available to date.
The empirical approaches: Based on the strength indices (tensile and compressive strength) and the Cerchar abrasion index (CAI), G.wijk [17] proposed a prediction model that defined the cutter life as the path length a cutter has rolled over the excavation face.Gehring [18] defined the degree of cutter wear as the mass loss rate of a cutter ring and showed that the …

Silica sand washing and desliming technology. The silica grade in quartz sand determines the quality of the final product, but the silica grade will gradually decrease as the quartz sand particle size becomes finer, while the grade of metal minerals such as impurity minerals such as iron and aluminum will gradually increase, especially for quartz sand containing a large amount of clay.
Wear has become a predominant form of failure and the primary cause of material consumption for critical components in agricultural machinery (Eremeev, 2013; Wang et al., 2023).Micro-tillers, as vital cultivation tools, are extensively employed in small farmlands, vegetable plots, and orchards, playing a crucial role in determining the quality and yield of …
Due to the radioactive nature of the ore ionising radiation exposure in the mining and processing of mineral sands comes externally from gamma radiation emitted or internally from the inhalation of ore and process dusts. ... there are different …
Grieve et al. [11] suggested that the excessive wear of the harder material was mainly caused by the scratching effect of the particles embedded in the surface of the softer material, whereas Faccoli et al. [10] found that in addition to abrasive wear, the surface crack was filled by sand fragments and formed the crack network speedily, and ...
