The kinetics of heavy mineral and bitumen recovery from oilsand tailings are presented. The results show that the recovery rates for titanium, zirconium and bitumen were affected by addition of surfactants Tretolite F46 and E3453. Recoveries were a function of time and of the minerals and bitumen present.
