Laser ultrasonic was proposed to characterize the porolysis process of the oil
10
shale. The ultrasonic velocity was produced by a non-contact all-optical method in the
11
three regions of Barkol, Yaojie, and Longkou of China. It was found that the
12
ultrasonic velocity was related with the pyrolysis temperature of the oil shale. The
13
pyrolysis process was divided into three stages due to the ultrasonic propagation
14
speed in the oil shale. The ultrasonic velocity had small changes from 20 °C to 320 °C
15
in the first stage, and a sharp decline between 320 °C and 470 °C in the second stage,
16
until another small change above 470 °C in the third stage. The variation of the
17
velocity was qualitatively explained, which was considered to be closely related with
18
the characteristics of pyrolysis process in oil shale. An empirical equation of the
19
velocity attenuation equation was proposed to estimate the beginning and the end of
20
the decomposition of the kerogen. It is a new way to characterize the process of the
21
pyrolysis of oil shale by using the laser ultrasonic.

25
for alleviating the pressure of petroleum supplies, contains minerals, kerogen, and
26
bitumen.1 Oil shale has been used for retorting to yield shale oil and burning directly
27
as a fuel to generate electricity or heat for many years. Kerogen is considered as the
28
main organic matter in oil shale yielding a significant amount of oil through pyrolysis,
29
which is one kind of oil shale thermochemical conversion technologies, involving the
30
thermal degradation of virgin material resulting in the production of gas, liquid and
31
solid.2 For exploring the optimal operate conditions, many researchers have embarked
32
on the process of pyrolysis of oil shale, and many works have been done about the
33
influences of major parameters including the pyrolysis temperature, heating rate,
34
residence time, pyrolysis atmosphere, operating pressure, as well as the particle size,
35
density, and inorganic matter content of oil shale.3-17 Thermal analysis is commonly
36
employed in the process of pyrolysis of oil shale, which focus on the thermodynamic
37
parameters or physical parameters change with temperature.18 For example,
38
thermogravimetry is used to assess the mass loss of a sample as a function of
39
temperature or time.19 Differential thermal analysis and differential scanning
40
calorimetry are used to characterize fossil fuels during pyrolysis. So the thermal
41
dynamic parameters based on pyrolysis experiments are vital in the evaluation of oil
42
shale. In addition, some indirect methods have been developed, such as well-logging,
43
x-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy etc.20-25
44
Laser ultrasonic technology, with ultrasonic excited by pulsed laser and
45
received by optical method, is currently one of hot topics in the field of the
46
nondestructive testing and evaluation of materials.26-28 This technology has been
47
applied in many fields, such as aerospace, microelectronics, biology and medicine etc.,
48
with its advantages of non-contact, long distance, high spatial and temporal resolution
49
and no environmental requirements. In recent years laser ultrasonic technology in oil 2

field application also draw researchers’ attention. The longitudinal wave (P-wave)
51
anisotropy in core shale was measured with laser ultrasonic. The measured velocities
52
showed the significant relevance with the anisotropy of the core shale and provided
53
detail information on the rock’s elastic constants, showing the advantage of laser
54
ultrasonic than traditional transducer.29 Laser ultrasonic can be also used in the liquid
55
of oil-water mixture to detect the water content. The ultrasonic P-wave velocity
56
acquired by this method was found to be accelerated with the increase of water
57
content. Different P-wave velocity corresponding to the different water content that
58
can be used for detecting the crude moisture from 0% to 100%.30
59
The present work focused on the P-wave velocity measurements in the pyrolysis
60
process of oil shales by using laser ultrasonic technology as an all-optical method.
61
Laser ultrasonic testing system was set up and the P-wave velocities corresponding to
62
the pyrolysis of the oil shale were acquired and analyzed. The good correlation of the
63
ultrasonic velocity with the temperature of oil shale pyrolysis indicates the possibility
64
of the laser ultrasonic to be a new elevation in oil field.
65
■ EXPERIMENTAL SECTION
66
The sketch of the laser ultrasonic testing system was shown in Figure 1. When
67
the short-pulse laser of 1053 nm irradiated on the sample surface, part of that energy
68
is absorbed and the ultrasonic was produced in the sample due to thermoelastic
69
mechanism. The ultrasonic was received by the interferometer on the other side of the
70
sample based on photorefractive two-wave mixing. The resulted waveform was
71
recorded by the digital oscilloscope and input into the computer to further processing.
72
In the experiment the ultrasonic P-wave was recorded which is the first significant
73
peak appears on the interferometer. The laser ultrasonic velocity data of the samples
74
was determined by the time that the ultrasound waves take to pass through the sample. 3

75
The oil shale used in this work were taken from three regions of China,
76
Kazakhstan Barkol County in Xinjiang, Yaojie Street in Lanzhou and Longkou City in
77
Shandong. The oil shale samples of Barkol, Yaojie and Longkou in the experiment
78
were 25×25 mm2 after cutting and grinding, with the thickness of 3.30, 2.22, and 1.84
79
mm respectively. Considering the anisotropy of the rock and the consistency of the
80
experimental conditions, all the samples were cut parallel to the bedding plane of the
81
oil shale. The first laser ultrasonic test of the samples was taken at room temperature
82
before heated. Then they were heated from room temperature (20 °C) to 670°C under
83
a vacuum condition with the temperature interval of 30 °C and the heating rate of 10
84
°C/min, keeping 30 minutes at each temperature point. After each heating, laser
85
ultrasonic tests were performed and the weight of the samples were recorded.
86
■ RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
87
The corresponding travel-time of the oil shale samples under room temperature
88
was shown in Figure 2. A peak picking program has been designed that locates the
89
time of the first peak. The take-off line was marked in Figure 2. The baseline indicates
90
the delay time of 4.43 µs. So the travel time ∆t of the ultrasonic wave through the
91
samples of Barkol, Yaojie and Longkou is 0.69, 0.89 and 1.62 µs, respectively. Then
92
the propagation speed v of the ultrasonic wave is 2667, 2494 and 2037 m/s,
93
respectively, which can be calculated by the travel time ∆t as a result of
94 95
v = d /∆t
(1),
where d is the thickness of oil shale sample.
96
The curves of the propagation velocity of ultrasonic wave in three samples with
97
the pyrolysis temperature were represented in Figure 3 where the velocity decreased 4

98
and appeared three stages with the rise of pyrolysis temperature. The raw ultrasonic
99
data of the three samples were listed in Figure 3(a), 3(b) and 3(c) to show the velocity
100
change with several pyrolysis temperatures of 20 °C, 120 °C, 300 °C, 360 °C, 390 °C,
101
470 °C, 520 °C and 570 °C, respectively. Take the oil shale sample in Barkol as an
102
example, the travel time ∆t read in Figure 3 (a) was 0.69, 0.68, 0.69, 1.21, 1.29, 1.61,
103
2.21 and 2.25 µs, respectively. The corresponding velocity can be calculated by the
104
formula (1) to be 2667, 2705, 2667, 1521, 1426, 1143, 832, and 818 m/s. As received
105
in Figure 3(d), the propagation velocity of the oil shale sample in Barkol changed
106
slightly from the beginning of the pyrolysis to ~ 320 °C. Then the propagation
107
velocity had a sharp change from 2745.86 m/s at 320 °C to 1054.95 m/s at 470 °C.
108
And then the velocity maintains small changes about 200 m/s. The change was well
109
verified by the other two samples from Yaojie and Longkou in Figure 3(b) and 3(c)
110
that the three oil shale samples present the same change in the process of pyrolysis
111
with their different beginning velocity. The mass variation of the samples in
112
temperature ranges from 20 to 600 °C was plotted in Figure 4. The mass loss is
113
approximately16.5%, 40.9% and 26.7% for the three samples of Barkol, Yaojie, and
114
Longkou, respectively. The difference of the mass variation related with their
115
difference composition, origin, and their oil yield of 5.66%, 9.05%, and 14.16%,
116
respectively.
117
The variation of the ultrasonic velocity and the mass of the samples in Figures 3
118
and 4 were considered to be closely related with the oil shale pyrolysis process.
119
Below 300 °C, the mass variation is mainly caused by the release of the adsorbed gas
120
and the water loss, including the gasification or volatilization of the pore water, 5

121
on-site water and layer structure water in the oil shale. A series of physical reactions
122
occurred at this stage such as the soft of hard shale particles and recombination
123
between molecules, which also cause some mass loss.31 The ultrasonic velocities
124
maintain small variation because the homogeneity of the sample was not destroyed
125
below 300 °C .
126
The great changes in velocity between 320 and 470 °C was attributed to the
127
decomposition of organic matter in the oil shale samples, which was the main stage
128
for releasing hydrocarbons. The decomposition of the kerogen mainly occurred
129
between 300 and 500 °C. When the temperature reached 320 °C, kerogen in the
130
samples began to decompose to produce combustible gas and shale oil, which
131
volatilized at high temperature, resulting in most weightlessness of three samples
132
about 9.3%, 25.3% and13.3%. In addition, porosities in oil shales have a significant
133
impact on the ultrasonic velocity. The pores and the micro cracks in the oil shale have
134
a random disordered distribution at room temperature. They increase gradually with
135
the rise of temperature, but not obviously. When the kerogen in samples decomposed
136
from solid to liquid or gas above 300 °C, the pores and the cracks increased quickly
137
with inflation and connection, resulted large variation of density and internal structure
138
of the samples32,
139
changes correspondingly, appearing a sharp curve slope in Figure 3(d).
33
. So the ultrasonic velocities through the samples have great
140
The ultrasonic velocity has a significant slowdown after the temperature higher
141
than 470 °C. The pyrolysis of kerogen was basically complete at the time and the
142
pores and cracks in the samples increased little. The mass loss at this stage is mainly
143
because of the thermal decomposition of clay and carbonate minerals with the release
144
of CO2.18. The surface roughness and the shape of the samples were not affected by
145
the high temperature in the pyrolysis progress. But the surface color now is taupe, and 6

146
different from its original bright-black. Such change of the samples didn’t influence
147
the measurement results. Figure 5 was plotted to further understand the variation of
148
the ultrasonic velocity in the process of the pyrolysis. The velocity didn’t show linear
149
change with the mass percentage of the sample, which indicate that the organic matter
150
in the oil shale samples was not the only cause of the velocity change. The variation
151
of the rock structure, such as the generation and restructuring of the pores and
152
fractures, has great influence on the spread of the ultrasonic wave in oil shale.
153
Combining the experimental results of the velocity variation with the
154
temperature and the mass of the samples, a preliminary exploration of the velocity
155
attenuation (VD) equation was proposed to estimate the pyrolysis process.
156
VD = 1 −
V p2 V p20
(2)
× 100 %
157
where Vp is the ultrasonic velocity in the sample at any time during the pyrolysis, and
158
Vp0 is the velocity before the pyrolysis. The velocity attenuation with the pyrolysis
159
temperature in Figure 6 shows clear stage change in the pyrolysis process. Two
160
parameters were chosen to indicate the beginning and the end of the pyrolysis, as
161
shown Figure 6. When the VD is ~10%, it is considered the beginning of the
162
decomposition of the kerogen. And the VD is ~90%, it is considered the end of the
163
decomposition.
164
The pyrolysis of oil shale is a very complicated process, accompanied by a
165
variety of complex chemical and physical reactions. The factors that influence the
166
ultrasonic velocities are many and intricacy. Here the ultrasonic velocities were only
167
measured and analyzed qualitatively. Its mechanism is not very clear and need further
168
detailed research. The empirical equation of velocity attenuation from the three
169
samples also need verified and corrected in further research. But this non-contacting 7

optical method of laser ultrasonic provides us a new way to characterize and
171
evaluation the pyrolysis process of oil shale.
172
■ CONCLUSION
173
In this paper, a non-contacting optical method was proposed for characterizing
174
the process of the pyrolysis of the oil shale. The ultrasonic P-wave velocity acquired
175
by this method was found to be interrelated with the pyrolysis temperate of the oil
176
shale. The pyrolysis process was divided into three stages based on the propagation
177
speed of ultrasound in the oil shale. Each stage was analyzed qualitatively combining
178
with the characteristics of the pyrolysis and the variation of the ultrasonic wave
179
velocity in oil shale. An empirical equation based on the pyrolysis characteristics of
180
the three samples was proposed to estimate the beginning and the end of the
181
decomposition of the kerogen. The present results show a new way to characterize the
182
process of the pyrolysis of oil shale by using the laser ultrasonic as a non-contact
183
optical method.
