13 Pyrolysis of Sunnyside (Utah) Tar Sand: Characterization of volatile compound evolution1988tar sand; pyrolysisSunnyside (Utah) tar sand was subjected to programmed temperature pyrolysis and the volatile products were detected by tandem on-line mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in real time analyses. A heating rate of 4°C/min from room temperature to 900°C was employed. Evolution of hydrogen, light hydrocarbons, n...
14 Shale oil value enhancement research - Qarterly report: July 1 - September 30, 19941994shale oil; value enhancement; process sequence alternativesActivities during this quarter focused on using the phase-l results to define process sequence alternatives for phase-ll. Two process alternatives have been devised while obtaining the desired marketable product slate. The status of required process units has been evaluated. While there are some uni...
15 Rates and mechanisms of oil shale pyrolysis: A chemical structure approach2014-11Green River oil shale; oil and natural gas technology; oil shale pyrolysis; chemical structure of oil shaleThree pristine Utah Green River oil shale samples were obtained and used for analysis by the combined research groups at the University of Utah and Brigham Young University. Oil shale samples were first demineralized and the separated kerogen and extracted bitumen samples were then studied by a host...
16 Identification by 13C NMR of carbon types in shale oil and their relationship to pyrolysis conditions1983-04shale oil; multiple-pulse techniques; shale oil characterization; identification of carbon types; pyrolysis conditionsA number of samples of shale oil prepared under various conditions have been examined by 13C NMR using multiple-pulse techniques that allow carbon-type assignments. Previous assignments by Netzel et al (1981) are confirmed and several new ones made. Product chemistry is then examined as a function o...
