Characterization of some Jordanian oil shales by pyrolysis gas chromatography

الملخص EN

Gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC-FID) was used to study pyrolysis Of Some Jordanian Oil shale samples.

Three sampls of dif- ferent altitudes from El-Lajjun were studied.

Pyrograms of solid sampls were studied at different temperature profiles, Solid-liquid extraction with water, methanol, or hexane allowed extraction of organics of different po- larity.

Hexane showed the highest extraction efficiency.

Reproducibility of the pyrograms of the solid samples yas evaluated.

Relative standard de- viation was 7.56%.
