PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HYDROGENATED HYDROCARBONS FROM SHALE OIL, CRUDE PETROLIFERO SHALE OR SIMILAR MATERIAL

摘要

Conversion of shale oil, shale oil rock, sandstone or limestone with encapsulated kerogens or other precursors of like kind, as source materials thereof, yield low viscosity, hydrogenated products, and allow ammonia, sulfur, and metal value recovery from these source materials; these source materials are reacted in the presence of an alkali metal hydrosulfide or alkali metal sulfide or polysulfide reagent and steam, water or an alkanol, optionally with hydrogen sulfide.
