Estimation of particle size distribution in Athabasca oil sands by indirect instrumental neutron activation analysis

In a study, instrumental neutron activation analysis was used to predict the relative amounts of various sizes of fine particles in Athabasca oil sands. This new estimation method does not involve the use of organic solvents, is faster and easier to perform than current methods, and is comparable in...

Zusammenfassung:	In a study, instrumental neutron activation analysis was used to predict the relative amounts of various sizes of fine particles in Athabasca oil sands. This new estimation method does not involve the use of organic solvents, is faster and easier to perform than current methods, and is comparable in precision.
