Patent ID: 8685211

Claim:
A system of treatment of oil sands ore comprising, a receiver bunker operative for mixing said oil sands ore in a crushed state with a predetermined amount of water to form a pulp mixture, a reactor chamber having an inlet port connected to said receiver bunker, a vortex jet located at said inlet port and operative to inject said pulp mixture in a spray form into an active zone in said reactor chamber, ultrasonic oscillations transducers located in said active zone in said reactor chamber, said ultrasonic oscillations transducers emitting two ultrasonic oscillation frequencies interfering with one another to produce intense concentrated resonant ultrasonic oscillations to impact on molecules of said spray form of pulp mixture in said active zone for causing cavitation to occur in said molecules of said pulp mixture in said spray form for separating oil, water and sand fractions of said pulp mixture, a separation tower connected to said reactor chamber and operative for separating oil fraction of said pulp mixture after having subjected to cavitation in said reactor chamber.
