Abstract:
Oil shale is of increasing interest as it is considered as an important alternative to traditional energy sources due to its abundant reserves. In this study, the pyrolysis mechanism of oil shale and kerogen was investigated by structural characterization and pyrolysis experiments. The experiments on the structural properties of the base showed that the minerals of the Fushun oil shale were the main components that influenced the pyrolysis of kerogen. Small differences in activation energy between the two were obtained by thermogravimetry, and the optimum heating rates were different.
