✦ Synopsis

A vaporization step is assumed to occur inside particles during isothermal pyrolysis reactions. An intraparticle mass transfer model is developed which incorporates this vaporization mechanism together with pore expansion and convective flow. The basic model concepts should be applicable to a wide range of materials undergoing pyrolysis. The model is demonstrated for oil shale pyrolysis. The results show that the vaporization step could well limit the overall kinetics of oil production from such systems.

The effect of the yield and composition of the liquid products on the formation of the porous structure of semicoke is examined. The more complete desorption of the low molecular weight components in a stream of water vapour up to 300°C leads to a considerable increase in the total pore volume and t
