Chemical Kinetics and Oil Shale Process Design

  • Chapter
Book cover Composition, Geochemistry and Conversion of Oil Shales

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 455))

Abstract

Oil shale processes are reviewed with the goal of showing how chemical kinetics influences the design and operation of different processes for different types of oil shale. Reaction kinetics are presented for organic pyrolysis, carbon combustion, carbonate decomposition, and sulfur and nitrogen reactions.
