“…between ~20 and 217 kJ moll), depending on the type of oil shale, pyrolysis method employed, and analysis technique used when determining the kinetic parameters [27, 49,59]. Many studies give activation energy ratings close to those calculated 54,56,61,62]. However, great care should be taken in this regard, due to the influence of process parameters, such as heating rate and particle size, on the final results.…”
