QUALITY CONTROL OF OIL SHALE PRODUCTION IN ESTONIAN MINES

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The basic parameters of oil shale quality are heating value and grain-size composition. Heating value can vary considerably within the location in a deposit and depends on concretions and limestone content. Grain-size distribu­tion and heating value depend directly on mining technology: breakage, transporting and processing. Energy distribution when using different technologies was determined. New boilers of oil shale power plants and oil retorts require a relatively constant quality of raw materials and fuel. The possibility of improving oil shale separation was investigated.
