โœฆ Synopsis

The mineral composition of oil shales from three widely different areas within Australia has been examined by X-ray diffractometry after low-temperature ashing. Quartz is more abundant than calcite. Feldspar is prominent in the Permian oil-rich shale from Glen Davis, New South Wales. Clay mineralsare represented bysmectite, illite, kaoliniteandmixed-layerminerals (mostly mica-smectite). Thecontent of clay minerals is generally low, except in the Tertiary oil shale from Rundle, Queensland.

The kinetics of hydrocarbon evolution from the pyrolysis of Rundle and Nagoorin shales can be described by two simultaneous first order rate laws whose relative contributions depend on the pyrolysis temperature. At low temperatures, a relatively rapid release of low molecular weight products occurs

Coking of oil on recycle solids represents the most significant cause of loss of yield during the processing of Australian oil shales. The kinetics of coke formation were measured for eight Australian shale oils on their respective shale ashes. The reactivity of Stuart ashes was found to decrease as
