“…Coal could provide hydrogen during thermal co-processing with oil shale, leading to an increase of liquid production. Some data indicate that a mixture of oil shale with coal can be successfully converted into liquids using co-pyrolysis techniques [8][9][10]. These results also suggest synergistic effects for co-treatment of oil shale-coal mixtures in the form of enhanced oil yields.…”

With petroleum reserves limited, and nuclear sources increasingly unacceptable, the use of coal (and potentially oil shale) is rapidly increasing as is its content of inorganics (minerals). Thermal analysis techniques are particularly suited for the evaluation, characterisation, analysis, basic, applied and pollution research of such organic and inorganic fossil fuel materials. The type, composition, quality and thermal decomposition characteristics of which control Ihe calorific value, volatile yield, petrochemical potential, coke and fly ash derivatives together with end product ash. slag and gases such as hydrocarbons, SOx, NOx and CO 2.Within this context the specific contributions made by DTA and DSC are reviewed and the value/applications of this approach established.

“…The history of oil shale industry stretches over 200 years, but the process of development and utilization of oil shale has been hindered by serious technical, economic and environmental problems [9]. However, regarding shale oil as one of the largest sources of hydrocarbons [2], it is time to work harder at the development and utilization of oil shale in the time of serious energy shortage.…”

Oil shale screenings (d≤10 mm), not used for the Fushun retort in the Fushun retorting plant of China, were crushed and sieved to different fractions of fine particles (in the range of 0-0.95 mm) which were pyrolysed in an experimental fluidized-bed reactor developed by the Institute of Comprehensive Utilization of Waste, Jilin Agricultural University. The optimum pyrolysis parameters of fine-particle oil shale were determined via orthogonal experiments, and one-factor experiment was performed to verify the results of the orthogonal experiments. The effects of oil shale particle size, feeding rate and reaction temperature on the yield of shale oil were analyzed. The results showed that the yield of shale oil reached 5.13% under the optimum experiment conditions, and the optimum combination was as follows: particle size of oil shale less than 0.47 mm; feeding rate 14 kg/h (residence time 11 min) and reactor temperature 450-500 °C. Experimental parameters of flash pyrolysis of oil shale fine particles will provide theoretical basis for utilizing shale screenings of retorting plant.
