The effect of retorting pressure on oil yield and rate of oil generation from oil shale

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5769759
The effect of pressure ranging from 0.05 to 0.86 atm on oil yield and retorting rate was determined under various retorting conditions. As pressure decreased, both oil yield and retorting rate increased substantially. The experimental data analysis was based on a mathematical model.
