To improve its effectivness, the coal was preconditioned with no. 2 fuel oil, subjected to 30 s high-shear mixing and collected by flotation over 3 min. This oil-conditioned coal was then contacted with mature fine tailings for 5 min with low-shear mixing. Flotation for 5 min resulted in the recovery of 93% of the residual bitumen, compared with 85% after 40 min mixing achieved in earlier tests. Equipment to accomplish this separation has already been designed, scaled and operated for fine coal recovery from washery wastes.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR)</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/4644216525</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OSEMB</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
