Cyanohydrocarbons Produced by the Hydropyrolysis of Kazakh Sapropelites

摘要

The heteroatomic components obtained by low-temperature (420°C) hydropyrolysis of Kazakh sapropelites are studied. The main components are alkyl ketones and alkyl nitriles, formed from structural elements of the kerogen that contain carboxyl groups. In developing processing technology for the organic mass of the sapropelites, the possibility that hydropyrolysis will produce cyanohydrocarbons with toxic prop?erties must be taken into account.
