an inorganic byproduct of burning oil shale and retored shale
has a potential use
such as building material
chemical filling material
adsorbent
etc. To obtain oil shale ash with higher porosity
the pore structure of oil shale ash produced by the combustion of oil shale was measured by using the N2 isothermal adsorption/desorption method.As a result of comparison between oil shale ash samples prepared under different combustion conditions in terms of pore structure
the oil shale ash
formed under both higher heating rate and particle final temperature lower than the melting point of oil shale ash
had a larger pore volume and specific surface area and could be utilized in industries.
