The direct conversion of crude oil to light olefins is considered one the cheapest and most reliable sources of petrochemical primary feedstocks. Unlike in the past when refineries operated to produce mainly transportation fuels, such as gasoline and…
An extra-heavy crude oil was treated at a short contact time in the 510-580 C temperature range in a FCC-like process, first thermally and then in the presence of a solid with low catalytic activity. The treatment greatly improved the properties of…
In the past five years, biomass-derived biofuels and biochemicals were widely studied both in academia and industry as promising alternatives to petroleum. In this Review, the latest progress of the synthesis and fabrication of porous nanocatalysts…
The ability of both bare and surface-modified hematite nanoparticles to reduce the viscosity and upgrade the quality of heavy crude oil via aquathermolysis reaction was investigated in this study. The surface of hematite nanoparticles was modified…
Crude Palm Oil hydrocrcaking has been carried out over Ni/Mo ZrO2 pillared bentonite catalyst in a fixed bed reactor. Crude Palm Oil hydrocracking over Ni/Mo ZrO2 pillared bentonite catalyst formed 3 products i.e. gas, oil and coke. The oil product…
Sulfur-host material with abundant pore structure and high catalysis plays an important role in development of high-energy-density lithiumsulfur (LiS) batteries. Herein, we implanted NiCoP nanoparticles into the N,S co-doped porous carbon derived…
Massive production of efficient, durable, and low-cost electrocatalysts toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is urgently desired for the development of energy storage and conversion devices. In this study, a facile and cost-effective strategy is…
In this work the influence of catalysts on in situ combustion process of heavy crude oil has been studied. The heavy crude oil from Russia (Ashal'cha field) oil field was used. The research on oxidation was performed using accelerating rate…
The direct conversion of crude oil to light olefins is considered one the cheapest and most reliable sources of petrochemical primary feedstocks. Unlike in the past when refineries operated to produce mainly transportation fuels, such as gasoline and…
Abstract: The state-of-the art in the catalytic conversion of natural gas containing methane as the main component to valuable chemicals and fuels is reviewed. Methane conversion processes are of considerable importance to society
An extra-heavy crude oil was treated at a short contact time in the 510-580 C temperature range in a FCC-like process, first thermally and then in the presence of a solid with low catalytic activity. The treatment greatly improved the properties of…
In the petroleum refining industries, the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process is one of the most common techniques for purifying petroleum products from undesirable sulfur species to reduce SO2 emission. However, HDS is still complicated as many…
