Fate of Nitrogen and Sulfur during Reduction Process of Carbon-containing Pellet Prepared by Vapor Deposition of Gaseous-Tar and the Influences of the Hetero Elements on the Reduction Behavior and Crushing Strength

ReaxFF Molecular Dynamics Study on the Microscopic Mechanism for Kerogen Pyrolysis

“…The oxygen content is usually below 5%, resulting in a high calorific value and stability. 7 During geological evolution, kerogen further converts into hydrocarbons such as hydrocarbon alkanes, alkenes, and alkylbenzenes, which are main components of oil and natural gas. 8 According to recent work, a series of studies on kerogen were experimentally carried out.…”

“…It is characterized by high carbon and low oxygen contents, with a relatively high hydrocarbon ratio of 1.2–1.5. The oxygen content is usually below 5%, resulting in a high calorific value and stability . During geological evolution, kerogen further converts into hydrocarbons such as hydrocarbon alkanes, alkenes, and alkylbenzenes, which are main components of oil and natural gas …”
