Abstract
In the present work, Tarfaya oil shale was subjected to supercritical toluene extraction. The experimental results obtained show clearly that the mineral matter and phenol have a significant effect on the yield and the composition of the obtained oil.


Key words: Oil shale; Supercritical extraction; mineral matter; Phenol
