Uses of oil shale ash

Keywords: concrete, oil shale ash, strength, durability, pozzolanic prop-erties, hydraulic properties. 1. Introduction The majority of mined oil shale is utilized as solid fuel in thermal power plants for electricity and heat production and about one fifth of oil shale is used for retorting shale. Estonian oil shale is characterized by its high

An experimental investigation was undertaken to study the potential use of Jordanian oil shale ash (OSA) as a raw material or an additive to Portland cement mortar and concrete. Different series of mortar and concrete mixtures were prepared at different water to binder ratios, and different OSA replacements of cement and/or sand. Oil shale ash (OSA), the residue of oil shale semi-coke roasting, was used as a raw material to synthesize nano-sized α-Al2O3. Ultrasonic oscillation pretreatment followed by azeotropic the use of jordanian oil shale ash as a soil stabilizing agent The primary objective of this paper is to evaluate the potential use of Jordanian oil shale ash as a soil stabilization agent. Three types of soil were used in this study along with three percentages of oil shale: 5%, 10% and 15% by dry weight of the soil. Suitability of Oil Shale Ash as a Constituent of Cement 47 effective. Phase composition and binding properties of the finest fraction of burnt oil shale correspond to the specification DIN 1164, Part 100. Depending on the extraction process and the amount of remaining organic matter, spent shale may be classified as oil shale coke, semi-coke or coke-ash residue, known also as oil shale ash. According to the European Union waste list all these types of spent shale are classified as hazardous waste. However, oil shale use for production of these items remains small or only in its experimental stages. Some oil shales yield sulfur, ammonia, alumina, soda ash, uranium, and nahcolite as shale-oil extraction byproducts.

Either underground or opencast methods are used to mine oil shale. amount of ash and small particles after burning of this kind of fuel, but Estonian oil shale 

The use of oil shale as a source of energy has been on the rise since more than two decades. It has been used in countries such as USA, resolved USSR states, Germany, and China, while its feasibility is being studied in other countries . The use of oil shale is accompanied with a by-product known universally as oil shale ash (OSA). Oil shale ash (OSA) was used for road construction in a pristine swamp area in East-Estonia during 2013-2014. OSA was used as a binder both in mass stabilization of soft peat soil and in the upper layer. Use of OSA in civil engineering always raises questions about the environmental safety of such activities. Attom and Al-Sharif [4] have used burned olive waste in order to enhance Irbid expansive soil properties; oil shale fly ash is effective in improving the texture and strength of expansive soil [5 Oil shale, any sedimentary rock containing various amounts of solid organic material that yields petroleum products, along with a variety of solid by-products, when subjected to pyrolysis—a treatment that consists of heating the rock to above 300 °C (about 575 °F) in the absence of oxygen. The ponding Turkish standards, and therefore, this oil shale can be used as an admixture in Portland cement. Introduction Oil shale ash is formed at burning oil shale containing fossil energy. As shown by calculations, 40 billions t oil shale provide 22⋅1021 Joule energy. Consumption of large reservoirs of oil shale ash in the next three decades is Oil shale has received many different names over the years, such as cannel coal, boghead coal, alum shale, stellarite, albertite, kerosene shale, bituminite, gas coal, algal coal, wollongite, schistes bitumineux, torbanite, and kukersite. Some of these names are still used for certain types of oil shale.

The inorganic part of Estonian kukersite oil shale consists of carbonates and terrigenous materials. Commercial oil shale contains 65 to 80% of inorganic matter.

4 Mar 2013 The hydrocarbons in oil shale can be used as an alternative to petroleum or natural gas. This ash can pollute ground, air, and water sources. Either underground or opencast methods are used to mine oil shale. amount of ash and small particles after burning of this kind of fuel, but Estonian oil shale  The oil shale ash, recognised as burnt shale in the world nomenclature produced as The burnt shale has been used for soil treatment as a liming agent for the  Oil shale ash is used for producing building materials.

In this research, the mineral and the mineralogical composition of Timahdit oil shale ash (OSA) were followed by fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and 

The most commonly used classification of oil shales, developed between 1987 and 1991 by Adrian C. Hutton,
