Abstract
Segregation of oil shale particles according to their size during shal e charging to retorts with cross flow of heat carrier has a considerab le effect on dissociation of the carbonates present in the mineral por tion of oil shale. In order to increase the yield of oil it is necessa ry at shale charging to direct the majority of large particles towards the hotter side and the majority of smaller particles towards the coo ler side of the retorting chamber. This measure minimizes dissociation of carbonates and consequently special consumption of air for the pro cess.
