Abstract
The clay fundamentals explained in the preceding chapters affect the macroscale oilsands processes discussed in the following chapters of this volume through a series of mesoscale phenomena. Each mesoscale phenomenon is itself the subject of a field of science, and applications to different fields of engineering have led to a confusion of terminology. Understanding the underlying physical processes helps to elucidate the positive and negative effects of clay in oil-sands processes.
