INSTALLATION AND METHOD FOR CARBON EXTRACTION FORM SOLID SOURCE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C10G1/04 

FIELD: mining.

SUBSTANCE: invention concerns installation and method of bitumen extraction form rocks, clay and mined tar sand. Installation for bitumen extraction from solid source contains tank of primary separation including first facility of bitumen disposal from suspension, containing of water and solid phase. In addition installation includes feed device, located between tank of primary separation and tank of secondary separation and appropriate for solid phase displacement, separated from suspension, into tank of secondary separation. In addition installation includes second facility of bitumen disposal, facility for separation of fine-dispersed particles for solid phase separation remained in tank of secondary separation, and tank for product collection for bitumen accumulation, disposed from tanks of primary and secondary separation. Method includes following stages: blending of resin contained solid source with water in tank of primary separation with suspension forming. Separastion from suspension at least part of bitumen by means of one of methods: deposition, flotation, mechanical agitation, water flushing, aerating, gravity separation and counterflow dehydration. Disposal of part of separated bitumen from suspension. Movement of remained suspension into tank of secondary separation. Bitumen and solid phase disposal from tank of secondary separation. Water recirculation from tank of secondary separation into tank of primary separation.

EFFECT: creation of effective method of bitumen extraction from rocks, clay and mined tar sand.
