Summary: Sulfonated starch was successfully synthesized using a deep eutectic solvent and a sulfonating agent. The sulfonation reaction occurred on the surface of starch granules and on the O6 atoms of the glucose unit. Sulfonated starch exhibited a wide pH range of application, fast adsorption rate, and high adsorption capacity. The adsorption process was attributed to hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions.

Summary: In this study, a theoretical model based on PtM (M = Ru, Au, or Sn) bimetallic clusters supported on titanium silicalite (TS-1) was developed and applied to investigate the dehydrogenation of n-butane. The catalysts suitable for the dehydrogenation process were identified using the cluster model, and a correlation between the d-band center and the energy barrier of the first dehydrogenation step was established. Experimental results confirmed the theoretical findings, as PtM bimetallic catalysis supported on TS-1 exhibited consistent trends in turnover frequencies and apparent activation energies. This study provides guidance for designing catalysts for n-butane dehydrogenation.

Summary: Our experiments demonstrated that highly polarized Ni-Fe-O materials can be influenced by polar gases, resulting in changes to their magnetic properties. Adsorbed gas molecules altered the material's magnetic properties through weak electronic interactions at the metal atom-gas molecule interface. Coercivity and blocking temperature of the material exhibited opposite changes for different gases due to variations in their electron affinities. Density Functional Theory calculations confirmed that gas adsorption induced alterations in the electric field and spin-charge distribution, leading to shifts in the Fermi level and movement of top atomic layers. These shifts ultimately affected the material's magnetic anisotropy. Importantly, these changes were reversible upon desorption of the gas, facilitated by molecular attraction between the gas and material. Overall, our experimental and theoretical findings enhance the understanding of polar gas interactions with magnetic material surfaces.

Summary: The manipulation of crystal and electronic structure plays a crucial role in determining the electrocatalytic activity of materials, with bismuth molybdate showing potential as an electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction with the promotion of iron in the crystal structure. The incorporation of iron leads to the development of strain and dislocation in the crystal structure, with the presence of an optimal amount of iron beneficial for creating oxygen vacancies. However, a higher concentration of iron can be detrimental to the electrocatalytic performance.

Summary: This study demonstrates the advantages of the reactive adsorption process for ultra-deep desulfurization of gasoline from catalytic cracking and other hydrocarbon fractions. A series of Ni/ZnO-Al2O3 adsorption-catalytic systems with varying nickel contents were synthesized to investigate the effect of surface concentration of nickel on the activity and selectivity of the reactive adsorption process. The results show that the conversion of thiophene is increased with higher surface concentration of nickel, but the highest selectivity factor for hydrodesulfurization/hydrogenation is achieved at a lower surface concentration of nickel.

Summary: Low valence bismuth cationic centers were introduced into ZSM-5 and mordenite zeolites via reductive solid state ion exchange, resulting in the formation of near infrared photoluminescent bismuth monocations and cluster ions. The optical properties of these bismuth cationic species in ZSM-5 and mordenite depend mainly on the zeolite Si/Al ratio and the amount of loaded bismuth, and the photoluminescence emission and excitation spectra differ significantly between the two zeolites.

Summary: This study synthesized and studied NiMo/Al2O3 catalysts with different surface loading of molybdenum for secondary middle distillates hydrodearomatization. The results showed that increasing the molybdenum load decreased the dispersion of the active phase particles and significantly changed the catalytic properties. The hydrogenation and hydrodesulfurization rates decreased with the increase of the mass fraction of active metals. The catalyst with a Mo loading of 4.4 at/nm demonstrated the highest specific depth of hydrogenation.

Summary: This comparative study investigates the catalytic behavior of K-modified CoMoS2 catalysts supported on different carriers (Al2O3, carbon covered alumina, and graphene coated alumina) in synthesis gas and ethanol conversion. The results suggest that the catalyst supported on graphene coated alumina exhibits better catalytic performance compared to alumina and carbon covered alumina supports. Graphene also affects the selectivity of the catalytic reactions by attenuating the interaction between the support and active site.

Summary: This article examines the chemical composition and physicochemical properties of heavy naphthenic-aromatic oil and its fractions. It found that compared with other oil mixtures, heavy naphthenic-aromatic oil has higher viscosity and density, mainly due to high content of resinous-asphaltenic compounds and absence of gasoline fractions. The diesel fraction has good low-temperature characteristics and contains a large quantity of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The vacuum residue primarily consists of resinous matters and has a high content of metals.

Summary: This study investigated the adsorption method of oil residue upgrading without hydrogen using coarsely granulated macroporous adsorbents with a high mechanical strength, a small surface area, and a large volume of macropores, modified with various additives. Templates such as guar gum and wax emulsion were tested to create a macroporous structure, with wax showing greater effectiveness. The process successfully reduced heavy metal content by 98% and achieved a 75% conversion of residue boiling above 540 degrees C. This method can be used to obtain feedstock for hydrofining and catalytic cracking processes.

Summary: Adsorptive treatment using granulated macroporous Al2O3-SiO2 adsorbent is proposed as a preliminary stage for residue pretreatment in refineries. The study evaluates the adsorptive treatment process and discusses the role of feed dilution, process temperature, and feed rate. The regenerated adsorbent has a smaller macropore size and volume but does not significantly impact demetallization. The pretreated residual product undergoes hydrotreatment to produce low-sulfur marine fuel.

By using computational fluid dynamics simulations, potential locations for capturing solid dust particles in ceramic filter pellets were identified. Ceramic filter pellets were fabricated using laser stereolithography, and the printed samples were subjected to a filtration test. The feasibility of CFD models for filter material design was demonstrated through CFD simulations of the pellet channels to identify potential filtration locations and a comparative assessment using post-test X-ray computed tomography scan of the 3D-printed pellets.
