| Popis: | Green River oil shale kerogen when reacted with a sodium tetra-chloroaluminate melt, gasifies efficently under a low pressure of hydrogen. The function of the tetrachloroaluminate melt is to promote radical formation and rearrangement of aliphatic units through chemical effects in addition to the role the solvent plays as a thermal transfer agent. The mechanism of gasification appears to involve the generation of electron deficient sites, which either undergo bond breakage or rearrange resulting in the formation of low-molecular-weight hydrocarbons, normally gases or near gases at ambient temperatures. The product gases are sufficiently clean that conventional scrubbing techniques may be used and that the process may be operated on a semi-continuous basis. |
