The dangerousness of ultrafine particles will require to regulate the emissions of sub-23 nm particles, from all engines. Natural Gas engines play a relevant role toward de-carbonization from transport sector. Considered as particulate matter-free,…
Kitchen waste (KW) can be regarded not only as waste, but as a kind of resource, which is composed of a large amount of energetic and nutritional ingredients. KW derived hydrochar (KWHC) is the carbonaceous materials obtained through the hydrothermal…
Structural modifications of petroleum pitch and its subfractions induced by mild air-blowing modification have been monitored by elemental analysis, average molecular weight, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR),1H nuclear magnetic…
Mesocarbon microbeads (MCMBs) are a valuable carbon material, and the production of this material highly depends on the reaction conditions and feedstock properties. In the present study, supercritical fluid extraction fractionation (SFEF) technology…
Hydrogen (H2) as a cleaner fuel has been suggested as a viable method of achieving the de-carbonization objectives and meeting increasing global energy demand. However, successful implementation of a full-scale hydrogen economy requires large-scale…
Lignin-derived hard carbon (HC) has great potential as energy storage materials. However, it is difficult to obtain desired electrochemical performances by direct carbonization of lignin. Herein, we demonstrate a pre-oxidation strategy to enhance the…
Gasification is an efficient and environmentally friendly treatment process for petroleum coke. But the rheology and stability of petroleum coke-water slurries (PWS) do not meet the feeding requirements of gasification. This study blends Hami coal…
Hard carbon anode materials for sodium ion batteries were prepared from petroleum pitch by air oxidation stabilization followed by carbonization. The effects of the oxidation stabilization temperature on the compositions and microstructures of the…
The main objective of this study is to develop nanotechnology-based materials, specifically carbon quantum dots (CQDs), as alternative nonpolluting, nontoxic, and easily manipulated tracers for the oil industry using an easy and rapid synthesis from…
Removing emulsified water from a water-in-crude oil (W/O) emulsion is critically required prior to downstream processing in the petroleum industry. In this work, environmentally friendly and amphipathic rice husk carbon (RHC) demulsifier was prepared…
Petroleum asphaltenes, a by-product of crude oil extraction, are a promising feedstock for the development of high-value carbonaceous materials because of their high carbon content and aromaticity. In this work, we have studied the efficacy of…
