Natural cementation of retorted oil shale. Final report, February 1978-May 1979
Technical Report

OSTI ID:6629258
Retorted oil shale possesses an inherent cementation characteristic which develops when the shale is moistened, compacted, and cured. The degree of strength is strongly dependent upon retorting temperature, residence time, and mode of bed heating. A high natural cementation strength can be beneficial in reducing costs of surface disposal of retorted shale, in using retorted shale as an engineering construction material, and possibly in reducing water pollution. The natural cementation strength of retorted oil shale is the focus of this investigation. The optimum retorting temperature and residence time to obtain natural cementation strength in retorted Green River oil shale from western Colorado were determined.
