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油砂中沥青经济回收率的首要因素。然而，目前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，利用先进的光学和信号处理技术来快速、准确和无损地测量油砂中的沥青含量。拟议项目的成功将使核心分析时间减少至少两个数量级。该技术对于从油砂中经济高效且环保地回收沥青至关重要。
