Abstract
The hydroconversion of kerogen-containing rock (oil shale) into synthetic crude oil was studied, and an optimum combination of catalytic additives, extractants, and modifiers in the hydroprocessing was found to ensure reasonable yields and quality of the synthetic oil. With the use of modifiers and catalytic additives, is possible to increase the conversion of kerogen into shale oil to a value of >90%. The modifiers and additives based on a mixture of cobalt and molybdenum compounds exhibited the greatest activity.
