✦ Synopsis

Thermal characteristics of analcime were determined over the temperature range from 25 to 600°C.

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. Analcime's widespread distribution through the Green River Formation ensures that analcime will be among the oil-shale components processed in any oil-shale development.
