Abstract
In the underground distillation and/or gasefication of deposits of anthracite, coal, lignite oil shale or mineral oil, the deposit is opened up and a charge or plurality of small charges of atomic fissionable material located therein and subjected to controlled fission, the heat thereby liberated bringing about directly or indirectly the distillation, e.g. at about 1200 DEG C., and/or gasefication of the deposit. Auxiliary gases or liquids may be supplied to the reaction zone enabling the heat in the case of a large central charge of fissionable material to be distributed radially and peripherally. Suitable auxiliary gases are inert gases, steam, natural gases or hydrocarbons to which air may be added if desired. When the distillation leaves behind a residue of coke the coke may be gasefied with steam and the heat from the atomic charge or by supplying steam and oxygen or air. Hydrogen may also be supplied with the auxiliary gases and a catalyst injected into the deposit to effect hydrogenation of the deposit or the residue obtained by a previous distillation.
