- Description
- The separation and recovery of oil that has spilled in the sea poses a number of problems. The first is to capture the oil/water mixture with the minimum amount of clean sea water. Once this has been done, further problems arise, such as the need to separate the oil from the aqueous medium, in large volumes, at high efficiencies and at an economic cost. Solutions to such problems have been found, and are already in operation in the resource and energy industries. The flotation process, which was initially developed to separate valuable mineral particles from waste material, has been successfully applied to the separation of organics. The Jameson Cell is a specific technology that has found widespread application for the recovery of organics during solvent extraction - electrowinning (SX-EW), and is now being used for recovery of bitumen in the processing of oil sands. The largest single cell in operation can handle 3,000m3/hr (792,000 US gallons/hr), and can readily be adapted to the treatment of oil spill separations. Here, the mechanics of the Jameson Cell are explained, and operational data presented.
