Application of Differential Scanning Calorimetry to Study Solvent Swelling of Kukersite Oil Shale Macromolecular Organic Matter: A Comparison with the Fine-Grained Sample Volumetric Swelling Method

Abstract: A comparison of results of Estonian kukersite oil shale kerogen (i.e., the cross-linked macromolecular organic matter of oil shale) solvent swelling from two different methods is shown. Solvent uptakes calculated from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments are higher than those obtained by a widely used test-tube-type volumetric solvent swelling technique of fine-grained samples with swollen sample centrifugation. Solvent swelling of the kerogen sample was performed in a test tube in accordance wi… Show more

“…The swollen kerogen sample was prepared according to a two stage swelling procedure: the sample was first swollen to equilibrium in a non-polar solvent (base solvent) and then a polar, specifically interacting solvent (swelling promoting solvent) was added. The technical details of the general volumetric swelling experimental procedure are described in our previous papers [15,16]. Briefly, a kerogen sample of 0.25 g was placed into a test tube and mixed with the first solvent.…”

“…As a result, swellability of highly polar kerogen in non-specifically interacting solvents is determined by apparent cross-link density (covalent and non-covalent cross-links), while in the case of specifically interacting (hydrogen-bonding) solvents it is determined by the real (covalent) cross-link density because of the ability of such solvents to disrupt the kerogen's intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Consequently, solvent swelling experiments on these kerogens show increased swelling in hydrogen-bonding solvents with high electron donor numbers, such as pyridine, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone or propylamine [15][16][17].…”

“…Regarding the complexity [34][35][36][37][38] of the kerogen, many researchers have devoted to model simplification. Junfeng Li and coworkers [39] characterized the configurations of kerogen based on the analysis of pyrolysis-gas chromatography -mass spectroscopy data.…”
