title: Low temperature extraction and upgrading of oil sands and bitumen in supercritical fluid mixtures.
abstract: Preliminary results are reported for the extraction and catalytic hydrocracking of Alberta bitumen and oil sands using supercritical fluid mixtures; high levels of extraction and upgrading were attained using reaction conditions significantly milder than those previously reported.
