Oxidizing hydrocarbons, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide. [Refining gasified shale oil]
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6909030
The hydrocarbon, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide concentraton of gasified shale oil is reduced by reacting the gas with oxygen in the presence of a fragmented permeable mass of combusted oil shale. This yields a gas containing relatively lower hydrocarbon, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide concentrations. It is believed that the combusted oil shale has a catalytic effect on the oxidation of the hydrocarbons, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and water, making it possible to conduct these oxidation reactions at temperatures much lower than previously thought possible. Such gas with relatively lower hydrocarbon, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide concentration is withdrawn from the fragmented permeable mass of combusted oil shale. 16 claims.
