Results of mathematical modeling of an oil shale retort having a fluidized-bed pyrolyzer and a lift-pipe combustor | 1988-01 | mathematical modeling; oil shale retort; fluidezed-bed pyrolyzer; lift-pipe combustior; varying key process parameters | Many aboveground processes have been proposed for retorting oil shale. The common objective is to heat oil shale particles to 450-600°C to pyrolyze the kerogen in the shale and form oil. Either hot gas or hot solid particles may be used to supply heat to the shale. Hot-solids processes heat the coo... |
