Summary: The direct electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide from the air is a promising alternative to the energy-intensive anthraquinone process. However, current methods suffer from low productivity and high energy consumption. In this study, a continuous flow sulfite/air fuel cell with a sulfite depolarized anode is proposed as a direct synthesis strategy. By optimizing catalysts and cell parameters, the prototype cell achieved high selectivity and productivity, with low energy consumption. The desulfurization solution from the flue gas desulfurization process is applied as the anolyte, further enhancing hydrogen peroxide synthesis and recovering sulfur as fertilizer.

Summary: This study investigates the formation mechanism of hydrogen sulfide during the pyrolysis process of Chang 7 type-II oil shale kerogen. XPS spectra were obtained to analyze the forms of hybrid atoms, and the pyrolysis characteristics were studied using ReaxFF. The sulfur element in the kerogen was mainly in the form of organic sulfur, and the desulfurization rate increased with higher pyrolysis temperatures. Hydrogen sulfide production was influenced by various sulfur-containing functional groups.

Summary: The interfacial properties and active site distribution of catalysts have a significant impact on catalytic oxidative desulfurization activity, which has been a research focus in recent years. In this study, an amphiphilic and polyoxometalate poly(ionic liquids) were prepared through cross-linking copolymerization and ion exchange reaction for desulfurization in fuel. The resulting sample, p-C2VIM-DVB-2-PMo, exhibited enhanced desulfurization performance and good thermal stability, meeting the requirements for deep desulfurization. Density functional theory calculations were also utilized to investigate the adsorption strength and interaction nature between the cation and sulfide compounds.

Summary: A nanoarchitectural strategy for designing highly active catalysts using CoMoS encased in 50-nm diameter aluminosilicate tubes as a natural support has been proposed. This encapsulation approach protects the active metal sulfides from aggregation, coking, and leaching. Experimental results indicate that the selective loading of molybdenum oxide inside the nanotubes using Mo-heteropolyacid anionic precursor complex leads to the formation of CoMoS particulate core inside the aluminosilicate shell, resulting in a mechanically strong mesoporous catalyst efficient for the hydro treatment of diesel petroleum fraction to clean fuels.
