For the processing of Athabasca oil sands, methods are needed for the determination of bitumen, diluent, water, and solids in the process stream. The stream is usually separated into its component parts, and the solvent/hydrocarbon system is further analyzed for diluent (naphtha) and bitumen content. The bitumen is analyzed spectrometrically while naphtha is either determined by difference or by gas chromatography. A proton NMR method is described for the quantitative estimation of bitumen and diluent in the presence of toluene, benzene, or methylene chloride, three solvents commonly used for the extraction of bitumen from oil sands.
