“…A wide range of hydrogen donor solvents have also been used including tetralin and hydrogenated recycle distillate [14]. Supercritical water extraction is receiving particular interest in oil shale processing due to the oil yield increase, ease of removal of the products, its compatiblity with the environment and its already accepted role as a means for shale oil processing for production of special chemicals like ethylene, propylene, benzene, toluene, and xylene [15]. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of different solvents on the extraction of shale oil from Egyptian oil shale obtained from Al-Quseir area for obtaining maximum yield of oil.…”

In the present work, the effect of solvent on the extraction of the organic matter from Quseir's oil shales was studied. The experimental results revealed that the extraction yield obtained by the tetrahydrofuran was very high compared to other solvents. In addition, the solvent had a significant effect on the yield and the composition of the obtained oil. The analysis carried out on the extracted oil showed that the tetrahydrofuran was a very efficient solvent for oil shale extraction, giving a better quality of the oils extracted containing a large proportion of aromatics compounds and fewer amounts of sulphur and paraffin compounds.
