Abstract
In a kerogen agglomeration process, a substantial amount of the oil shale is comminuted to a top size greater than about 0.4 to 8 in. prior to kerogen agglomeration. Kerogen agglomeration includes comminuting the oil shale in the presence of an added organic liquid and water to form kerogen-rich agglomerates and mineral-rich particles.
