Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure refers to a method for clay removal using sonication treatment process for hydrocarbon recovery from a variety of mine pits or tailing ponds, to convert contaminated hydrocarbons substances into de-asphalted oil, heavy oil fuel or asphalt output. This method may generally require a solvent for removal of material in suspension, which may dissolve contaminated hydrocarbons by using a plurality of alkane containing non polar solvents, which may be filtered through simple separation. The sonication treatment process may reduce the production time of de-asphalted oil and heavy oil fuel, from a range from about six hours up to more than ten hours to about 5 seconds to 2 minutes depending on the solvent-feedstock mixture being processed.
