Abstract
In this study, the effect of the mineral matter of Huadian (China) Oil Shale on the conversion of organic carbon of oil shale to shale oil. The bioleaching process is taken in a mixed culture of the lithotrophic bacteria Thiobacillus ferrooxidans(Tf). The aim of bioleaching process was to dissolve the inorganic matters and improve the shale oil yield. A series of temperature-programmed pyrolysis operation was performed with raw and bioleached oil shale to find the best retorting temperature, 500oC is the best temperature to retort the oil shale. The oil shale samples were detected by SEM, DG, Fischer assay test, the results show that the surface structure was significantly different from the raw sample, and the shale oil yield improved from 8.9% to 11.7%.
