One of the priority tasks of applied chemistry and chemical technology is the processing of oil sludge, which contributes to the reduction of emissions of oil and gas enterprises and their further use as valuable secondary raw materials. This paper deals with the study of pyrolysis processes of oil shale from the ‘Kenderlyk’ field, including the analysis of its physical and chemical properties and thermal decomposition products. The detailed elemental analysis was carried out and mineral composition of the feedstock was studied.
During the research parallel experiments on pyrolysis of oil shale were carried out, which allowed to determine quantitative yields of semi-coke, pyrolysis oil (tar) and combustible gas. The main characteristics of the products, such as their component composition, calorific value and other parameters important for further processing and use were analysed.
The obtained experimental data demonstrated stable product yields and confirm the possibility of effective use of pyrolysis in oil shale processing. The isolated products have high energy potential and can be used in various industries, including fuel and energy sector and metallurgy. Thus, oil shale processing by pyrolysis method seems to be a promising direction in the sphere of resource saving and environmental protection.
