USE OF COAL TAR AND SHALES IN ALTERNATIVE FUEL PRODUCTION
The process of hydropyrolysis of the coal tar fraction of the JSC «Sary-Arka spetskoks» was studied in the presence of the catalyst - the waste of the sheet rolling production of JSC «ArcelorMittal Temirtau» - and the shales of the Shubarkol deposit, which also acted as a catalytic additive. It was defined that the addition of shales reduced substantially the concentration of basic phenols in the final product of the hydropyrolysis of this fraction, making it suitable for use as a raw material for obtaining alternative fuels. The use of joint utilization of coal tar and oil-containing waste using oil shales could help solving the problem of providing the Kazakhstan industry with fuel and lubricant materials that met the modern ecological standards.
