Modelling and simulation of oil shale pyrolysis

Sample Mineral matrix Organic substance Kerogen Bitumen 

Integration of equation 4-5 using either approximations by series or partial integration gives  

The Arrhenius coefficients, E and A, may be found by plotting ln[-ln (l-a)/7 ] versus VT. To validate of the methods, a series of original and modified samples from the oil shales listet in Table 4-150 were tested by thermoanalytical methods. The samples were designated as follows  

Bitumen (toluene extract after heating up to 773 K of oil shale No. 1) Sample A-B-773 (K-B-773 etc.)
