Effect of Retorting Temperature on the Pyrolysis Characteristic of Longkou Oil Shale
Oil shale samples from Longkou City, Shandong Province, China, were pyrolyzed in a fixed bed reactor at retorting temperature varied from 400 to 550°C under nitrogen atmosphere with heating rate of 15°C/min. The influence of retorting temperature on the yield and characteristics of shale oil and ret...

| description | Oil shale samples from Longkou City, Shandong Province, China, were pyrolyzed in a fixed bed reactor at retorting temperature varied from 400 to 550°C under nitrogen atmosphere with heating rate of 15°C/min. The influence of retorting temperature on the yield and characteristics of shale oil and retorting gases were determined. It was observed that the oil yield increased to the maximum value, 15.68 wt%, as the retorting temperature increased from 440 to 550°C. And increasing retorting temperature improved also gas yields, but reduced the char yield. The contents of H2, CO2, and CH4 in the retorting gas increased with the rising of retorting temperature. The ratio of alkane/alkene hydrocarbon (C1-C5) decreased because of the secondary cracking reactions of gas phase in the high temperature. The carbon and nitrogen contents of shale oil increased with increasing retorting temperature, while those of hydrogen and oxygen decreased. The sulfur content was not significantly affected by the retorting temperature. In addition, the shale oil obtained from 550°C had the lowest aromatic content, 25.12 wt%, and the highest saturate content, 50.03 wt%, compared to the other retorting temperatures due to the cracking of aliphatic compounds. The alkanes with 8-34 carbons and alkenes with 8-27 carbons were detected in the shale oil. The concentration more than 20 mg/goil was C23-C30 in the range of 400-550°C. The total content of n-alkanes decreased to 369.25 mg g-1oil, and that of n-alkene reached the maximum value at 550°C, 181.62 mg/goil, with the rise of retorting temperature. It was demonstrated that the higher temperature was beneficial to promoting the reaction of aromatization, dehydrogenation, fraction, and other reactions in the pyrolysis process. |
