Summary: The research found that the composite adsorbent has different pore structure characteristics depending on the LiCl solution concentration, with higher salt concentration leading to increased LiCl content. The water adsorption capacity of the composite adsorbent slightly increases after LiCl modification process with low salt load, then significantly increases with higher salt load, and finally decreases slightly.

Summary: The control of ethylene (C2H4) levels in storage atmospheres is crucial for fruit preservation. This study explores the conversion of C2H4 to ethane (C2H6) using a parallel-plate dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor with and without catalyst packing (silica gel and zeolite 13X). The co-feeding of C2H4 and O-2 in the DBD reactor increases C2H4 conversion and C2H6 selectivity. Moreover, the DBD reactor with silica gel and zeolite 13X catalysts improves C2H4 removal efficiency and reduces energy consumption.

Summary: The thermal performance of ventilated beds of hygroscopic porous media is closely related to the sorption properties of the solid phase. The predicted performance of such beds is highly sensitive to the form and accuracy of the sorption isotherm. When using Toth's isotherm in an equilibrium model to analyze the performance of a bed of warm and dry silica gel ventilated with cool, humid air, a shock wave is predicted to develop downstream of the air entering the bed. However, non-equilibrium solutions show a transfer wave instead, with a width that decreases as the velocity of the interstitial air decreases.

Summary: This study investigates the oxidative behavior of n-C7 asphaltene aggregates under high-pressure conditions. Experimental results reveal that the size of asphaltene aggregates increases in the order of o-xylene < m-xylene < p-xylene. Molecular dynamics simulations suggest that the location of -CH3 in xylene has a significant impact on the aggregation state. Oxidative experiments show that oxygen chemisorption decreases as asphaltene aggregate size increases, reducing reactivity. Furthermore, the order of oxygen chemisorption mass gain for concentrations >1.0 wt% is p-xylene < m-xylene < o-xylene. This study contributes to our understanding of the relationship between aggregation and thermal oxidation of crude oils, providing insights to reduce asphaltene aggregation and improve oxidative kinetics.

Summary: In this research, agro-industrial waste from the tequila industry was used to obtain biosorbent and hydrochar materials. The adsorption studies showed a physisorption process between the materials and the dye, with adsorption capacities of 6.49 mg g(-1) in static and 17.7 mg g(-1) in dynamic. Characterization showed that the biosorbent primarily consisted of macroporous fibers with surface groups such as C-O, C=O, -OH, O-C=O, and -NH2. The life-cycle assessment indicated that the proposed biosorbent has potential as an eco-friendly and efficient method for water remediation and solid waste management.

Summary: Recent studies have identified wettability alteration as the primary consequence of adjusted brine composition water flooding (ABCW) and low-salinity water flooding (LSW). However, further research is needed to provide a phenomenological explanation and clarify the key components of the system (rock-oil-brine). This study focuses on determining the relevant variables for smart water effects by conducting static (contact angles) and dynamic tests (coreflooding). The results show that oil-brine ion exchange plays a significant role in explaining observed displacement efficiencies and pressure differentials.

Summary: This study aimed to develop SiO2 nanoparticles functionalized with amine to inhibit the chemical degradation of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) in the presence of different ionic species. The effects of SiO2/amine on the rheological behavior of HPAM solution were evaluated in the presence of monovalent, divalent, and trivalent cations. Molecular simulations showed that the self-folding of HPAM chains increased in brine containing trivalent cations, leading to viscosity loss. The presence of SiO2/amine increased the radius of gyration of the polymer, improving the viscosity of the HPAM solutions. This study opens up possibilities in nanotechnology for enhancing polymer flooding in the oil industry.

Summary: This study evaluates multifunctional nanomaterials for CO2 adsorption and its subsequent transformation into valuable sub-products during the catalytic decomposition of asphaltenes in a steam gasification atmosphere. The best nanoparticle morphology doped with 1% Ni and Pd (C-CeNiPd) shows the highest adsorption capacity and catalytic activity. When steam is injected, CO2 adsorption decreases in all systems. The nanoparticle with the best morphology (C-CeO2) adsorbs about 24.3% of CO2 at 200 degrees C, and the yield increases to 34% after doping with Ni and Pd.

Summary: The presence of emerging contaminants in water sources is a global concern as conventional treatment methods fail to effectively degrade them. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), particularly the Fenton reaction, are being explored for their ability to degrade persistent pollutants. The electro-Fenton (EF) process, which generates H2O2 in situ through the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), is proposed as an alternative to overcome the limitations of H2O2 storage and handling. Additionally, efforts are being made to improve the selectivity of ORR catalysts for the 2e(-) route to enhance the performance of the EF process. This work reviews Fenton catalysts, ORR 2e(-) catalysts, and catalysts with bifunctional activity for both ORR 2e(-) and Fenton processes, and summarizes the key factors for high catalytic activity in EF dual catalysts.

Summary: This study aims to expand our understanding of the pyrolysis and catalytic pyrolysis of asphaltenes at low and high pressure through experimental and simulation approaches. The experiments showed that asphaltene reactivity decreases and coke deposition increases with increasing pressure. Catalytic pyrolysis experiments demonstrated that coke is not produced in the high-temperature region, regardless of the system pressure. Molecular dynamic calculations confirmed that asphaltenes mainly react in the high-temperature region and the reaction rate is negatively affected by increasing pressure.
