Combined process of solvent extraction and gamma-ray radiation for the extraction of oil from oil shale
Jordanian oil shale kerogen was studied by using several solvents under the gamma radiation condition to extract oil from shale. According to the result obtained, the possibility to extract oil at room temperature and using solvent was successfully obtained. The solvent used in this research study was water, benzene, acetone and kerosene. Experiments was conducted by using a mixture of solvents such acetone water, benzene-acetone, benzene-kerosene, and benzene, kerosene, water alone without mixing. The percentage of yield was found to be with in the range of 13-67. The result showed that acetone-water solvent mixture with 50% of each (vol%) gives the best results. In this study, the particle size was fixed at 1mm size since there was no effect size on extraction yield percentage.
