Abstract
By chromatography and mass spectroscopy, the composition of the hydrocarbons formed in aqueous pyrolysis of Mongolian sapropelitic fuel shale and bituminous rock is established. In the pyrolytic transformations in the organic mass of such shale and rock at 400°C in aqueous alkaline solution, 35–40% of the products are paraffin-naphthalene hydrocarbons—primarily alkanes (C12-C29) and alkenes (C13-C23) of normal structure. Data on biomarker hydrocarbons indicate that the initial biomass of the fuel shale and bituminous rock is of marine origin.
