What are the gasification characteristics of oil shale?

If oil shale is crushed and heated to about 500℃, shale oil can be obtained. China often refers to shale oil as artificial oil. Generally speaking, 1 ton of oil shale can extract 38 to 378 liters (equivalent to 0.3 to 3.2 barrels) of shale oil. After hydrocracking and refining shale oil, chemical products such as gasoline, kerosene, diesel oil, paraffin wax and stone tar can be obtained.
