Modeling Oil Shale Pyrolysis using the Chemical Percolation (CPD) Devolatilization Model

摘要

1. ~(13)C NMR chemical structure parameters useful in making CPD model predictions of kerogen pyrolysis 2. High MW of long chain aliphatics in kerogen must be accounted for in condensables (i.e., tar) 3. About 80% of the aliphatic material condenses 4. TGA rates for mass release do not correspond to bridge-breaking rates 4.1 Rates had to be re-fit 5. Resulting model matches measured tar and volatiles yields very well 6. Additional reactions needed to account for increase in aromaticity and number of carbons per cluster.
