Research carried out at the Microwave Applications Research Centre (MARC) funded under the National Energy Research, Development and Demonstration Program (NERDDP) has shown that microwave retorting of two Australian shales, from Leigh Creek (SA) and Kerosene Creek (Rundle, Queensland) produces oil

Thermal characteristics of analcime were determined over the temperature range from 25 to 600ยฐC. Loss of water of crystallization from analcime between 175 and 375"C, an endothermic decomposition, could increase the energy required to produce oil from oil shale by a maximum of about six percent. An
A mathematical model which incorporates the intrinsic kinetics of the decomposition of kerogen and carbonate minerals and the internal as well as external heat-transfer effects has been developed. This rigorous model is compared with the uniform-temperature model. The results indicate that at a heat
