Kinetics Of The Pyrolysis Of Utah Tar Sands
Abstract
Utah tar sands have been pyrolyzed experimentally in a tubular furnace into a stream of nitrogen. Various condensate products have been collected and analyzed, and the pyrolyzed sands have been analyzed for coke and unreacted bitumen. The kinetics of the pyrolysis appeared to be second order under conditions of approximately constant temperature and in experiments with continuously changing temperatures. A lighter product with less sulfur, nitrogen, and arsenic was produced when more rapid heating rates were used. Other characteristics of the reaction and products are presented.
