Pyrolysis Characteristics of Oil Sands

Article Preview

Abstract:

Three oil sand samples from Indonesia have been non-isothermally pyrolysed on thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The analyses were performed at different heating rates (5, 15 and 25oC/min) up to 850oC with nitrogen as purge gas. The weight loss curve shows that the main pyrolysis of oil sand takes place in the range of 200~600oC. On the basis of experimental data, a pyrolysis kinetic model was proposed. The kinetic parameters of activation energy (E) and frequency factor (A) were obtained by Integral Method. There is no clear relationship between activation energy and heating rate.
