Preliminary results from retorting Michigan Antrim shale. Technical progress report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7322672
;
As part of a continuing in-situ oil shale research effort, the retorting characteristics of a column of mine-run shale ranging in size from fines to 2-foot-cube-sized and 4-foot-cube-sized pieces are being investigated in both 10- and 150-ton capacity, batch-type retorts, respectively. Preliminary investigations into the retorting characteristics of oil shales other than those in the Green River Formation, namely Michigan Antrim shale, have begun and this paper presents the results from the first run using this Devonian-type shale in the 10-ton retort. These results are compared to previous data compiled from Colorado oil shale tests conducted in both retorts.
