Abstract
In this paper, the drying behavior of two Jordanian oil shales was investigated using three different techniques: a thermogravimetric analyser (TGA), direct solar insolation, and a convection drying furnace. The weight losses and drying rates of the samples were measured gravimetrically. It was noticed that the drying rate falls off at a specific temperature of approximately 120 ∘C, and becomes zero beyond this temperature. For both types of examined oil shales, the surface-moisture loss is proportional to the drying temperature: the higher the temperature the more of free-water can be driven-off.
