Abstract
Un agglomérateur à rotation rapide est présenté et destiné au traitement de matières premières de boues de sables bitumineux, de mixtes de sables bitumineux, de résidus liquides de sables bitumineux ou d'émulsions de sables bitumineux en vue d'augmenter la taille des particules de bitume de la matière première avant que la matière première agglomérée soit séparée par un tamis ouvert oléophile tournant formé de fils de câble sans fin adjacents. La paroi à ouverture cylindrique de l'agglomérateur est faite de boucles métalliques adjacentes qui sont soudées dans le diamètre intérieur pour renforcer les barres transversales métalliques qui sont fixées aux parois d'extrémité de l'agglomérateur pour former un agglomérateur rigide et solide. Une âme centrale peut être utilisée pour augmenter davantage la rigidité de l'agglomérateur. Les fils de câbles oléophiles sont positionnés entre les boucles séquentielles de l'agglomérateur et tournent en continu pour passer de la zone de séparation à la zone d'extraction du bitume. La séparation de la matière première à l'aide des méthodes et de l'appareil de la présente invention est environ d'un ordre de magnitude plus rapide que la séparation du bitume par flottaison de mousse et le produit de bitume est de qualité supérieure. Les calculs poussés obtenus de l'agglomérateur servent à déterminer la taille des agglomérateurs destinés à l'équipement commercial.
