Influence of chemical characterization of oil shale solids on understanding water quality impacts

Description: Synfuels technologies will yield products and effluents that are a function of the raw material being processed and the process variables. Chemical and mineralogic characterization of solids generated in synfuels production provide valuable insight into health and environmental impacts associated with synfuels processing (coal liquefaction or gasification and shale oil extraction). This report deals with considerations relating to leachate generation from solid wastes, but the suggested researc… more

Physical and chemical characterization and comparison of solids, liquids, and oils derived from Estonian and Green River formation shales

Description: Although only a single Estonian raw shale sample with an unknown history has been examined, physical and chemical characterization of this material has been accomplished. A comparison with a representative Green River formation raw shale has been made. Some of the findings are: (1) Elemental analysis indicates that the major elements, aluminum, magnesium, and sodium are deficient in Estonian shale compared to the Green River shale. The minor elements, barium and strontium, and the trace element… more

Correlation of mineralogy and trace element leaching behavior in modified in situ spent shales from Logan Wash, Colorado

Description: Oil shale retorting induces mineral and chemical reactions to occur on the macroscopic and microscopic levels in the kerogen-bearing marlstone. The nature and extent of the reactions is dependent upon process variables such as maximum temperature, time at temperature, atmosphere, and raw shale composition. This report describes the investigation of the mineral, chemical, and trace element release properties of spent shales retrieved from an experimental in situ retort at Occidental Oil Shale, I… more

Control strategies for mitigation of oil-shale-related-water quality concerns

Description: A comprehensive study of in situ retorting at the Logan Wash has indicated the importance of developing baseline information including raw shale characterization, the elucidation of mineralogical and chemical controls on trace element mobilities from shales subjected to in situ processing, and the research necessary to identify strategies for control of recognized environmental impacts. It is impossible to assess the magnitude of trace element releases to be expected from a commercial in situ f… more
