Previous work by Kaminsky et al. has shown, by x-ray diffraction, that there is a difference in clay minerals that partition to the froth stream versus the clays that remain in the middlings. However, x-ray diffraction analysis was insufficient in determining why the different minerals partitioned the way they did. This work examines the clay minerals in each stream by high resolution transmission electron microscopy, combined with energy dispersive x-ray analysis, to examine the characteristic chemical and morphological differences in the clay particles in each stream. </style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IN: Proceedings of the First International Oil Sands Tailings Conference.
