How do they get the oil out of the oil sands?
you get a piece of cheese you sit down then wait for the pros to do it
What does bitumen sands mean?
Bitumen sands are a natural sand or sandstone deposit which at some stage had been saturated with hydrocarbons. But which at some later stage had been exposed to conditions such that only the heavy (or long-chain) molecules remain. Or at least from which the lighter liquids and volatiles have disappeared. Actually a very common form of hydrocarbon deposit.
What is hydraulic conductivity of soil?
This depends on the soil! Cohesionless coarse grained soils with high gravel contents may have high hydraulic conductivity on the order of 1 to 1x10-1 m/s. Mixed sands and gravels are on the order of 1x10-1 to 1x10-3 m/s. Finer sands approximately 1x10-3 to 1x10-4, and fine grained soils such as silty sands may be in the range of 1x10-5 to 1x10-7 m/s. Very fine grained cohesive clay soils have very low hydraulic conductivity values ranging from 1x10-7 to 1x10-13 m/s.
What kind of energy resources might one day replace dwindling petroleum supplies?
Solar and wind renewable energy, of course. Oil shale and tar sands
How do you remove oil from oil sands?
Oil sands or bituminous sands, (more technical term) are difficult to produce because of the extremely high viscosity of the oil. Generally, the oil must be pumped out, and recovery is poor. Methods to improve recovery include heating the oil underground using steam. A thermal method called SAGD, or steam assisted gravity drainage, creates a steam zone (steam chest) immediately above the oil deposit, and wells are perforated (opened to production) at the bottom of the oil zone. The link I have included gives a general overview of various methods, and there is considerable information on the internet on SAGD and other processes. See related link.
Why is Mohr-coulomb failure envelope for clean sands tend to concave downward?
That is because the friction angle reduces with normal stress.
What is dilation of angle?
Angle of dilationThe angle of dilation controls an amount of plastic volumetric strain developed during plastic shearing and is assumed constant during plastic yielding. The value of ψ=0 corresponds to the volume preserving deformation while in shear.Clays (regardless of overconsolidated layers) are characterized by a very low amount of dilation (ψ≈0). As for sands, the angle of dilation depends on the angle of internal friction. For non-cohesive soils (sand, gravel) with the angle of internal friction φ>30° the value of dilation angle can be estimated as ψ=φ-30°. A negative value of dilation angle is acceptable only for rather loose sands. In most cases, however, the assumption of ψ = 0 can be adopted.Unlike the modified linear model the nonlinear models require to specify only the elastic modulus. A drop in the material stiffness is a result of evolution of plastic strains and corresponding redistribution of stresses. This consequently yields an instantaneous tangent material stiffness as a function of the current state of stress represented in the figure belowby an instantaneous tangent modulus ET.
What is sands friability?
Sands friability refers to how easily sand can be broken down into smaller particles or dust when subject to pressure or friction. Sands with lower friability will be more resistant to breaking down, while sands with higher friability will be more prone to fragmentation. This property can impact the handling, transportation, and stability of sand materials in various applications.
What is the natural slope of dirt?
Most loose, not compacted, sands and silts have an angle of repose, measured from the horizontal, of 35 degrees.
Why is barking sands beach called barking sands in Kauai?
Barking Sands Beach in Kauai gets its name from the unique sound the sand makes when walked on, which resembles a barking or booming noise. This phenomenon occurs due to the specific composition and size of the sand grains, which create friction when compressed. The beach is also known for its stunning beauty and is a popular spot for visitors seeking a unique experience on the island.
How much does a cubic meter of zircon mineral sands weigh?
Zircon has a average specific gravity of 4.65. (given by the density of the sand divided by the avg density of water) So, by re-arranging: the density is aprox 4,650 kg/m3 multiplying by g (avg) 4650 * 9.8 = 45,570N
What are bituminous sands?
Bituminous sands are oil sands , tar sands and more tecnically they're an unconventional petroleum deposit . I hope I hlped you!!

Why sands are more prone to quick sand condition than clay?
Sands are more prone to quicksand conditions because they have larger pore spaces between the grains, which allows water to flow more easily through the sediment. When water saturates the sand, it can reduce the friction between the grains and cause them to lose their ability to support weight, creating a quicksand-like effect. Clay particles are much smaller and closer together, which limits the movement of water and makes them less likely to form quicksand conditions.
