Organic and pyritic sulfur determination in oil shale | 1983-03-01 | H2S; Pyritic sulfur; Oil shale; Kentucky; Ohio; Colorado; Utah; Wyoming; Oil shale deposits; Sulfur | Sulfur forms in oil shale are defined according to their reduction rates to H2S in the presence of hydrogen-donor solvents. A linear increase in temperature with time is applied to a reaction system of oil shale and hydrogen-donor solvents. The different temperatures at which H2S is detected corresp... |

Oil shale project small retort run summary: Run S-15 addendum computer tables | 1981-03 | Run summary; Oil shale project small retort; Lawrence Livermore Laboratory | The Run Summary for S-15 was published quite some time ago (UCID 18282-Sept. 1979). At that time we had not completely analyzed the data using the computer as we had done in other run summaries. We have now gone back and processed that data. This report presents the computer generated run summary da... |

Oil shale retort run summary: Run C-4 | 1981-10-02 | Oil shale retort; Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory | A. Run Characteristics. Retort Run C-4 comprised four combustion run segments in a continuous aboveground retort conducted June 23 through June 27, 1980. The shale was -2.5 +1.3 cm (-1 +1/2 in) from Anvil Points. The retorting rates were approximately 40 and 65 m/d (130 and 220 ft/d), and the feed g... |

Oil shale project run summary, small retort: Run S-7 | 1981-12-11 | Oil shale; Combustion run; Retorting; Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory | Run S-7 went smoothly except for loss of nitrogen flow for a short period early in the run. The thermal front developed rapidly and appeared to travel through the bed in a stable and uniform fashion. The exit gas composition stayed relatively constant for most of the last 3/4 of the run. The traveli... |
