The effect of bed temperature and fluidization velocity on the chemistry of bench scale fluid bed retorting of Kentucky oil shale

A 3.8 cm diameter bench scale fluid bed retort was used to study the effects of varied bed temperature and fluidization velocity at atmospheric pressure on the distribution of pyrolysis products from Kentucky oil shales. Fluidization velocity was varied from 28 to 44 m/min at steady state bed temper...

Description
Summary:A 3.8 cm diameter bench scale fluid bed retort was used to study the effects of varied bed temperature and fluidization velocity at atmospheric pressure on the distribution of pyrolysis products from Kentucky oil shales. Fluidization velocity was varied from 28 to 44 m/min at steady state bed temperatures from 500 to 625°C. Results indicated that secondary reactions (primarily cracking) were minimal at all fluidization velocities studied at lower bed temperatures (
