Canadian oil sands are a complex mixture of sand, clays, water, and bitumen. For surface mining oil sands production, a hot water extraction process (HWEP) has been widely applied. In this process, hot water and processing aids are mixed with oil sands to liberate bitumen from the minerals by shearing the oil sand particles.
