Abstract

The gasification with carbon dioxide of residual carbons prepared from Timahdit and Tarfaya oil shale kerogens has been studied by thermal analysis techniques (TG and DTA) under heating rates varying from 5 to 48°C min-1. The reactions obey first order kinetics. Activation energies have been calculated by several methods, such as Kissinger, Chen-Nuttall and Coats-Redfern methods, and are broadly comparable with literature data for similar carbons.
