Abstract

The quality of Shubarkol carbonaceous shale from Kazakhstan is studied by state-of-the-art methods, with particular attention to its composition, its mineral composition, and its chemical, petrographic, physicochemical, and thermomechanical properties. According to one industrial classification, the shale is of humic–sapropelic type in genetic terms; it consists primarily of sorbomixtinite. The product yield in semicoking (550°C) and coking (900°C) is studied, with detailed analysis of the solid particles, tar, and gas. Industrial uses are recommended both for the initial shale and for the semicoking products.
