Franks, A J

Simultaneous loss of nitrogen and sulfur, with increase in saturation due to cracking heavy fractions of Colorado shale oil from oil shale near DeBeque (Colo.), indicated that unsaturated and unstable material was degraded to form saturated compounds. This unsaturated material was comprised of a number of unstable compounds of high molecular weight that were rich in nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen. It is possible that the initial unstable substances disintegrated, then recombined to form more stable compounds.
