Pyr1dine From Shale OIL

THE production of pyridine from crude shale
oils in Colorado Is a long drawn-out
process. The first step is the cracking of the
crude oil, with the resultant distillate treated
with q weak solution of chemically pure sui
phuric acid.
The acid sludge that formed was drawn Off
the bottom of the oil and was neutralized with
sodium hydroxide which caused the oil that
had been absorbed to separate from the aka
line aqueous solution. fractional distillation
produced a condensate which contained ap-
preciable quantities of the pyridine.
