Abstract
Oil sand ores mined at different locations in Alberta have different physical and chemical properties that dictate their processability by water-based bitumen extraction technology. In this study, the processability of one good processing ore and three poor processing ores has been investigated using a Denver flotation cell. The floatability of oil sand ores was found to vary significantly among the examined oil sand ores. Surface forces between bitumen−silica and bitumen−fines were measured using an atomic force microscope (AFM) to examine the mechanism of varying processability of oil sand ores. Factors examined include bitumen grade, fines content, divalent cation concentration, and weathering/aging. The results indicate that the processability of the ores cannot be simply evaluated from bitumen and fines content alone. Fines, divalent cations, and weathering/aging can significantly affect the processability of oil sand ores, either individually or collectively.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
