This paper presents
the results of studies on the production of
coke at excess pressures of 0.15, 0.25, and 0.35 MPa with delayed
coking of shale tar obtained by pyrolysis of oil shale in the Baltic
Basin. To assess the quality of the resulting coke, properties such
as the absolute density, yield of volatile substances, ash content,
and total porosity were analyzed. The microstructure of the resulting
coke was analyzed by X-ray diffraction, for which the evaluation criteria
were the interplanar spaces
d
002
and
d
100
and the sizes of the Lc and La crystallites.
The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique was used to confirm
the results of the analysis of the formed structure of shale coke
obtained earlier. The calcined samples were classified as cokes with
an isotropic structure. In addition, the fractional composition of
the obtained gasoline and gas oil fractions of delayed coking of shale
resin was analyzed.
