These characteristics imply a significant degree of structure in the slime. Based on a comparison of some of the rheological and stability characteristics of the material and those of a bentonite gel over a. range of pH, a structure is proposed which depends for its stability on the presence of residual bitumen as well as a clay-bound organic component. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberta oil sands </style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/4631517989</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OSEMB</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
