Direct conversion of carbonaceous material to hydrocarbons. [Conversion of carbonaceous material directly to hydrocarbons and O-containing organic compunds; steam reacts at 800-1200/sup 0/F with carbonaceous material in component catalyst system of alkali metal or alkaline earth compound and trans. metal compound]

Pipeline processing of oil-containing solids to recover hydrocarbons. [partial recovery of hydrocarbons during transit of solid--organic solvent slurry to processing plant]

Patent - in OSTI.gov collection Wicks, M. III

A process and apparatus for the extracting of hydrocarbons from oil-containing solids e.g. tar sands and oil shale are described. The oil-containing solid--solvent slurry is injected into a pipeline. The slurry flows uphill in the pipeline at an angle of at least 2/sup 0/ with the horizontal. The slurry is maintained in suspension at a relatively high flow velocity sufficient to leach and extract the hydrocarbon from it by the time it reaches the terminal end of the line.
