Approaches to the Determination of Oil Content in Oil Shale

Oil and gas are important energy minerals and strategic resources. Moreover, as their substitute, oil shale is the non-renewable fossil fuel resource. In this paper, regarding the oil shale of Huadian in Jilin Province as raw material, we made a research on the approaches to extracting shale oil from oil shale as well as an experimental determination on the impact of heating temperature, shale grain size and holding time.
