Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter vi experimental work Although much experimental work needs to be done, and will be done, on oil shale before complete scientific knowledge--chemical Need f Ex and physical--will be obtained, and perimentai such exact scientific work should be Work encouraged, yet the practical need of the industry at the present moment is the erection and operation of retort units of commercial size. It is clear from the scientific principles already known that the retorting of oil shale will be done commercially in a large number of retorts each of which has a comparatively small daily tonnage capacity. The erection of one of these retorts of commercial size successfully operated will point the way to a daily capacity of a 1,000 tons a day by the mere duplication of the single retort. Hence, with the advent of such a retort, operated on a commercial scale, treating shale as it is mined, broken, and delivered to the retort, designed so as to permit automatic mechanical handling of the ore, tested and approved by impartial and competent engineers, there will be a red letter day in the history of the industry in the United States. Experimental work has been done by the United States Geological Survey, the United States Bureau of Mines, the University of Utah, the Colorado School of Mines, and by many capable private companies, engineers, and chemists. Unfortunately, however, some would-be chemists, untrained and inexperienced, lured by the tales of immense quantities of oil shale waiting "only the touch of the chemist's wand" to transform it into oil, have attracted capital from persons less informed than themselves and have dissipated it in experiments that violate the laws of science in general and chemistry in particular. Such a condition is...
