Abstract

Empirical formulas for calculating the concentrations of substances such as hydrogen and carbon(II) oxide and also the smallest possible concentration of carbon(IV) oxide in gas prepared by the steam treatment of oil shale were obtained. It was found that, as the temperature was increased above 600°C, the gasification of shale occurred under thermodynamic equilibrium conditions, and catalysts based on NiO made it possible to reach maximum yields of hydrogen at lower temperatures.
