The bitumen content in oil sands is the primary factor affecting the economic recovery of bitumen from oil sands. However, current methods for measuring the bitumen content are either time-consuming or unreliable. This proposal aims to develop an optical technique using advanced optical and signal processing technologies for rapid, accurate, and non-destructive measurements of the bitumen content in oil sands. The success of the proposed project will decrease the core analysis time by at least two orders of magnitude. The technology is critical for cost-effective and environment-friendly recovery of bitumen from oil sands.

油砂中的沥青含量是影响从油砂中经济地回收沥青的主要因素。然而，目前用于测量沥青含量的方法要么耗时要么不可靠。该提案旨在开发一种光学技术，使用先进的光学和信号处理技术，快速，准确和非破坏性地测量油砂中的沥青含量。拟议项目的成功将使岩心分析时间至少减少两个数量级。该技术对于从油砂中回收具有成本效益和环境友好的沥青至关重要。
