✦ Synopsis
A parallel reactor system was used to monitor adsorption, desorption and/or cracking of vapour-phase hydrocarbons over processed oil shale with short contact times at elevated temperatures. Hydrocarbons ranging from benzene to n-decane were passed across samples of pyrolysed, gasified and combusted shales at XX-650 C. The gasified shale exhibited the greatest adsorption capacity at low temperatures and the highest cracking activity at higher temperatures. Liquid products were analysed by g.c. and g.c.-m.s. in an el'fort to determine any significant differences in the cracking products over time or between substrates.
