Calorific value of the pyrolysis products of oil shale from the Kotsebinskoe deposit

Abstract

The calorific value of the products of the thermal processing of oil shale from the Kotsebinskoe deposit in Saratov oblast was calculated with the use of calculation and experimental methods. The experimental method gives a more accurate result in terms of calorific value because it takes into account the heats of gaseous and liquid products formed upon the pyrolysis of oil shale.
