Abstract
A solvent extraction procedure is presented for separating large quantities of bitumen to be used in laboratory experiments. The effectiveness of various solvents is discussed. Data are presented on the properties of extracted bitumen, the unextracted residue and the light ends lost during solvent removal. The effect of bitumen contact with oxygen is also discussed.Keywords
