Abstract
New composite catalysts based on ferroalloy industry wastes and natural zeolite from the Taizhuzgen deposit (Republic of Kazakhstan) were studied as applied to the joint thermochemical processing of carbon-containing wastes (worn tires and plastic crumbs) and oil shale from the Kenderlyk deposit. The surface and structural properties of the composite catalysts were studied by IR spectroscopy, electron microscopy, X-ray spectrum analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The relationship of the nature of the active centers of catalysts with the composition and yield of fuel distillates was found with the use of IR spectroscopy and chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis.
