A major problem in this process is the large portion of ash produced. The cementing properties of this ash were investi-gated to determine its applicability as a building material. By means of XRD,IR,NMR and ICP,we have studied the effects of burning temperature on the reactivity of ash. Maximum reactivity was obtained with ash samples produced at 700℃ to 900℃. In this range,the strength of oil-shale-based material,with properties similar to cement,which is composed of oil shale and several other kinds of solid wastes,can achieve the standard of 42.5^# cement. Our study has provided an experimental foundation and theoretical base for a massive utilization of oil shale.展开更多
