Abstract

The results of studies of organic matter of Mongolian oil shales are presented. The total amount of bitumens in the shales is less than 2 wt %, whereas the kerogen content is about 15 wt %. A high H/C value (1.5–2.3) and the prevalence of aliphatic over aromatic structures in the insoluble organic matter indicate the usefulness of these oil shales as both power generation fuel and raw material for processing into chemicals.
