Research of Sulfur Release during Wangqing Oil Shale Retorting

Article Preview

Abstract:

Sulfur release was studied during the retorting of oil shale in a bench-scale reactor. H2S and COS were measured in retorting gas and sulfur element was determined in the semi-coke. Wangqing oil shale was selected as a sample in the tests. The results show that both two main factors affect the sulfur release during the samples distillation between 300°C and 600°C. The H2S releases below 550 °C, while COS escapes mainly in two stages of 300°C-450°C and 500 °C -600 °C.
