Atomistic modeling of oil shale kerogen and asphaltenes | 2010-04-28 | | Kerogen is a mixture of organic chemical compounds that make up a portion of the organic matter in sedimentary rocks. It is insoluble in normal organic solvents because of the large molecular weight (upwards of several thousand Daltons). When heated in the Earth's crust (oil window ca. 60 ° - 120 �... |

Attrition and abrasion models for oil shale process modeling | 1991-10-25 | | As oil shale is processed, line particles, much smaller than the original shale are created. This process is called attrition or more accurately abrasion. In this paper, models of abrasion are presented for oil shale being processed in several unit operations. Two of these unit operations, a fluidiz... |
