Research on production of shale oil by direct hydrogenation of oil shale has been conducted in batch stirred autoclave reactors. The objective of the work has been to elucidate the effect of operating variables on conversion of organic carbon, and the resulting yield structure (oil/gas). Yields of oil and gas (hydrocarbon and carbon oxide) have been quantified for hydroprocessing over a wide range of operating conditions using both pure hydrogen donor and pyrolysis oil solvents. The effects of temperature, reaction time, pressure, hydrogen partial pressure, and solvent characteristics on yield structure are described.
