pdf  Review of modern thermal methods of oil shale processing and ecological aspects of their use
The review of modern of oil shale processing thermal methods (onsurface and partly underground) are analyzed. Their specifications (configurations of retorts and coolants) are described. The environmental risks of thermal surface technologies of oil shale processing are evaluated on the basis of technical and environmental criteria.
Key words: oil shale, surface technology, ground technology, retort, pyrolysis.
