Abstract
The results of the experiment on hydrothermal decomposition of Barzas sapromixite aimed at obtaining carboxylic acids are reported and discussed. Normal mono- and dicarboxylic acids with 9 to 25 and with 10 to 23 carbon atoms, respectively, were identified in decomposition products. The yield of carboxylic acids from sapromixite turned out to be 2-4 times lower than for the majority of sapropelites investigated earlier.
