Oil Shale

Abstract

Ulukışla oil shale in Turkey was pyrolysed at varying heating rates by thermogravimetric analysis. Kinetic analysis was undertaken at the decom­posi­tion steps of pyrolysis using the Coats and Redfern kinetic method. In addition, activation energies and reaction orders of the steps were calculated.Moreover, structural analysis of the oil shale sample was carried out by FTIR spectrometry, X-Ray diffractometry and XRF spectrometry.
