✦ Synopsis

The distribution of arsenic among the various components of a sample of Green River oil shale was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy with X-ray microanalysis, powder X-ray diffraction and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry were used for identification. Approximately 65% of the total arsenic was found to be present as skuttemdite, (Co,Fe,Ni)As,, and safflorite, (Co,Fe)As,. The presence of these minerals in oil shales has not been previously reported.
