The paper presents the results of thermal analysis of oil shale from the Baigushlu and Iyimish deposits (Azerbaijan). It was been established that in the shale of the Baygushlu deposit, the content of organic matter is 11%, while in the shale of the Iyimish deposit it is 40% higher - 15.3% (for dry shale). The absence of moisture and their high calorific value make it possible to consider the possibility of using combustible shale from the Iyimish and Baygushlu deposits as an alternative energy fuel. The results obtained indicate the prospects of their use both in the technological and fuel and energy areas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
