Oil shale (OS) is a solid hydrogen rich fossil fuel whose organic part can, under appropriate conditions, be turned into liquid fuel. The obtained shale oil is a mixture of a large number of organic compounds. However, the exact composition and yield of shale oil depend not only on the composition of oil shale, but also on the type of the reactor where oil was produced, as well as on process parameters like heating rate, pyrolysis temperature, pyrolysis time, and the size of oil shale particles fed to the reactor. In this paper, we present the results of the full chemical analysis of Estonian Ojamaa oil shale – characteristics of oil shale and shale oil and distribution of sulfur. The results of ultimate, proximate, major components and pyrolysis mass balance analyses are also presented and the characteristics of crude shale oil and oil fractions are provided. Special emphasis is put on the analysis of sulfur and its distribution between the pyrolysis products. Additionally, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results are provided.

. Within the Moroccan natural resources valorisation scheme, new adsorbents have been prepared from oil shale by chemical and physical activation processes. The activation process the authors have developed in this study give effective adsorbent materials. In view of the physico-chemical properties of these materials and application to the treatment of water loaded with a metal (Cr 6+ ion) or organic (methylene blue (MB)) pollutant, it is concluded that the chemical activation process of oil shale at low temperature (250 °C) affords the best material. The material’s yield is good in comparison with the physical activation at the same temperature and the process is energy saving differently from that at 450 °C. Moreover, the chemical activation of oil shale with phosphoric acid at 250 °C produces a material with a good yield (about 70%), a high specific surface area (approximately 600 m 2 /g) and a highly porous structure, which gives it a high retention of methylene blue and the Cr 6+ ion.

Producing valuable transportation fuels from shale oil has long been a goal, but to meet modern environmental regulations significant upgrading is required to remove heteroatoms. The large quantities of sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen in shale oil is one of the major obstacles that limit its use. Unlike petroleum upgrading, where desulfurization is the main process, for shale oils denitrification and deoxygenation are also important. This review compiles and summarizes the extensive research that has been performed on removing sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen from shale oil. By far the most widely researched method has been hydrotreatment, but work done with other methods is also presented.
