Leaching and selected hydraulic properties of processed oil shales. Environmental research brief

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5834238
This report describes a column leaching test procedure developed to simulate the leaching of high-volume wastes under semi-arid field conditions. The report also presents results obtained when retorted oil shales (Tosco, Paraho, Lurgi) are leached by this procedure. Selected hydraulic properties are also discussed for these retorted shales including permeability and water-holding capacity.
