Characterization of and the products derived from Estonian and Green River formation shales are discussed. Samples investigated include Estonian raw and spent shales, raw shale feedstock spent shale from the Paraho demonstration facility at Anvil Points, Colorado, and a raw shale sample from the Mahogany Zone of the Green River formation. Physical and chemical analyses of solids, leachates, and oils were conducted. Comparisons of these materials suggest that differences in the inorganic and organic components of the raw shales will be incorporated as differences in the chemistry and biology of products and wastes from processing these shales.
