When I attended the annual meeting in December of 1996 we had a tour of the test plant. When we were taken into the mineral area I seem to remember that they had some process to put the sludge thru (the product that was left over after the bitumen was extracted- and it was extracted by heating it and allowing the bitumen to flow out the top of the log washer) that resulted in the like minerals (alumina, and each of the other products they were working with at that time) forming clumps of material after the water was extracted. They had found that the like minerals were attracted to each other in this process and then bond. They then seperated the minerals and processed them each individually from this.
It has been almost 2 years and I might be forgetting something. This is just as I remember it.
