Zusammenfassung:There is provided a process and solidification formulation for treating waste brines derived from oil sands hydrocarbon recovery operations such as thermal in situ hydrocarbon recovery operations. The waste brines can be derived from evaporator blowdown streams. The waste brines can include water, solids, salts and organic components that include dissolved organics and emulsified oils. The process includes addition of the solidification formulation to the waste brine to produce a solidified waste that can be disposed of in landfills. The solidification formulation can be prepared according to the chemical characteristics of the waste brine. The solidification formulation added to the waste brine can include a calcium-containing reagent. The solidification formulation can include cement kiln dust and fly ash.
