An oil shale process will be commercialized in China

摘要

Construction has started in Qinzhou, China, on the first commercial plant to use a new process for producing fuels from oil shale, to be imported from Indonesia. The process was developed by China Chemical Economical Cooperation Center (CCECC) and AuraSource Inc, which is building the plant in a joint venture with two Hong Kong partners. The spent shale will be ground up, then ash and non-carbon material will be separated from the carbon by a proprietary gravity-separation process, says Philip Liu, the company chairman.
