Abstract

See full text

Oil shale containing relatively large quantities of alkaline carbonate minerals is retorted utilizing superheated water vapor at temperatures of from about 425.degree. C. to about 510.degree. C. Retorting with a sufficient carbon dioxide partial pressure effectively suppresses decomposition of the alkaline carbonates to obtain an environmentally acceptable retorted shale.
