CsTAB, betaine 13 and amine oxide DO with optimal dosages. In future study,
these surfactants can be considered as wettability agents for clay in diluted
bitumen emulsion separation.
Water and solid contents in oil have been successfully measured by K-F
titration and centrifuge. A proper procedure to characterize oil content in water
layer and rag layer needs to be developed.
Temperature, water/ oil ratio and solid content also have effects on emulsion
stability. In future work, the effects of these factors need to be evaluated.
