Investigations on physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the new type of oil shale ash - the ash from the solid heat carrier unit SHC-3000 - were carried out in 1970-1999 at different scientific-research institutes of Russia and Baltic states. The technology of ash discharge, storage, transportation, transferring, and application in the soil by motor lorries was developed. The efficiency of oil shale ash application was studied for different crops and crop rotations. The possibility of using agricultural products produced on lime-pretreated soils as forage and human food was determined.
