Abstract: Py-GC-MS, EPR and FITR techniques were used to analyze the structural characteristics of kerogen and its pyrolysis products in Estonia oil shale. The relationship between the intermediate hot asphalt and the end products were studied at different temperatures. The results show that the pyrolysis of oil shale follows the pyrolysis path of kerogen into intermediate hot bitumen, and then bitumen into shale oil, retort gas and semi-coke. The generation trend of intermediate hot asphalt reflects the change of the growth rate of the final product. H2, CH4 and C2-C5 are mainly from the aromatization of aliphatic hydrocarbons in hot asphalt, the breaking of alkyl side chains of aromatic compounds and the condensation of oxygen-containing compounds, etc. The alkanes and olefin compounds produced by kerogen pyrolysis are the main components of oil and gas production. The free radical spin concentration of kerogen and shale oil is lower than that of hot asphalt and semi-coke. The g value of semi-coke is the biggest,that of kerogen takes the second place,and the g value of hot asphalt and shale oil is smallest.
