Embodiment Construction

[0033]The organic release method according to the invention comprises a process for pulverizing shale oil into powdery grains by, for example, a mechanical means; mixing grains in a liquid and treatment of the mixture by vortical movements, wave movements, acoustical streams, or combinations thereof; foaming; removing the foam, which contains the organic materials of shale oil, from the mixture; mixing the foam containing organic materials with the liquid solvent, for example ethanol; and processing this mixture by vortical movements, wave movements, acoustical streams, or combinations thereof. The processing forms a liquid, which contains derivates of benzene (see Table 1) and light fractions of hydrocarbons, for example, Toluene, Xylene and others (see Table 2) that are released from organic materials of shale oil. The non-organic solids from the shale oil consist of, for example, Calcite, Clay, and minerals (see Table 3). The whole process takes place under ambient temperature an...

Abstract

Method for release of organic materials from shale oil and like solid substances, by treating shale oil powder in a liquid medium, with vortical movements, wave movements, acoustic turbulent streams, or combinations thereof. The treatment causes foaming of the liquid medium followed by separation of the foam from the liquid medium, whereby the foam is enriched with organic materials released from the shale oil powder. The foam can be placed in a liquid organic solvent and treated with vortical movements, wave movements, acoustic turbulent streams, or combinations thereof. The treatment causes the extraction of hydrocarbons into the solvent, and the inorganic shale material to precipitate. The remaining inorganic sold material can be utilized in the manufacture of construction materials. The obtained solution of the extracted hydrocarbons into the solvent represents a synthetic fuel, which could be used after slight reforming as motor fuel, jet fuel, or the like.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 816,857 filed on Jun. 28, 2006.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]This invention resides in the field of an improved processes and equipment used in the treatment of materials in a liquid media by acoustic vortical streams using ultra sound waves. More specifically, this invention relates to an improved process using acoustic vortical streams to extract hydrocarbons into a liquid solvent medium from organic shale.[0004]2. Description of the Prior Art[0005]The use of ultrasound for driving chemical reactions is known. Examples of publications that describe chemical uses of ultrasound are Suslick, K. S., Science, vol. 247, p. 1439 (1990), and Mason, T. J., Practical Sonochemistry, A User's Guide to Applications in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Ellis Norwood Publishers, West Sussex, England (1991). Of the various sonicating systems...
