Cover Story: Alkaline lake shale exhibits multifractal characteristics and evolutionary patterns that are distinct from marine or continental shale. By using hydrous pyrolysis, nitrogen adsorption, X-ray diffraction and multifractal theory, the factors influencing pore heterogeneity and multifractal dimension and the evolution of pore characteristics during the alkaline shale maturation process are revealed. The difference in evolutionary trajectories in multifractal characteristics between marine and alkaline lake shale is also discussed based on partial least squares analysis. Specifically, alkaline lake shale is primarily influenced by quartz, potassium feldspar, clay minerals, and alkaline minerals. View this paper
