Summary: This paper investigates the adsorption performance of silver-modified mesoporous materials in removing thiophenic compounds. The results show that the adsorption of thiophene by the sorbents involves S-Ag and pi complexation reactions, and the adsorption efficiency is greatly affected by benzene. XPS analysis reveals that silver interacts strongly with the carrier and forms Ag-O-Si bonds as the active centers for thiophenic compounds. The Mulliken charges of sulfur atoms have an impact on the interactions between silver and thiophene sulfur compounds.

Summary: The research investigated thiophenic compounds adsorption over Ti0.9Ce0.1O2, revealing the essential role of surface oxygen in adsorptive desulfurization. It was found that surface Ce and Ti are important in both electron transfer from adsorbates and producing active oxygen for the oxidation of sulfur atoms. The results suggest a possible mechanism for the chemical adsorption, dissociation, and surface reaction of thiophene on Ti0.9Ce0.1O2 mixed metal oxide adsorbent.

Summary: Cerium oxide (Ce100), molybdenum oxide (Mo100), and a material containing Ce and Mo (CeMo) were synthesized and applied in fructose conversion. The characterization results showed the formation of cerium molybdate (Ce-2(MoO4)(3)) for CeMo. Ce100 exhibited good thermal stability, while Mo100 showed sublimation of MoO3 and polymolybdates. CeMo displayed high activity and lower formation of insoluble materials. The main factor influencing fructose conversion is the appropriate combination of acid sites.

Summary: In this study, three-dimensional ordered Sn-KIT-6 mesoporous silica materials were successfully prepared by one-step hydrothermal synthesis method. The addition of SnO2 did not affect the highly ordered pore structures of KIT-6 and SnO2 was well dispersed in the KIT-6 framework. The desulfurization rate of Sn-KIT-6 was high under optimal conditions, attributed to the high dispersion of SnO2. However, the desulfurization rate of Sn-KIT-6 decreased after 6 cycles, indicating potential loss of SnO2 during the oxidative desulfurization process.

Summary: This study proposes an enhanced radial mixing approach in coiled flow inverter (CFI) as an alternative to packed bed adsorptive desulphurization (ADS). Cu-carbon nanofiber (Cu-CNF) was synthesized using Cu-tartrate as the precursor and applied in the ADS process of liquid fuels in CFI. Experimental results showed that Cu-CNF slurry effectively removed thio-phene from n-hexane, achieving a sulfur (S) loading of 103 mg/g at a thiophene concentration of 2000 ppmw-S and a flow rate of 120 cc/min using five CFI units connected in series. Recycling was introduced in CFI for the first time, and three CFI units connected in series with a recycle ratio of 2 achieved the same removal efficiency as five CFI units without recycling. The results indicate that CFI is an efficient technology with the potential to replace packed bed adsorbers.

Summary: This study focused on the semihydrogenation of acetylene in an ethylene-rich stream using two alloyed Pt catalysts PtCu and PtCo. The PtCu catalyst showed higher activity and ethylene yield compared to PtCo due to its higher unoccupied Pt d-orbital density. This indicates that alloying Pt with Cu is more promising for industrial relevant SHA catalyst.

Summary: This work presents a continuous solvent extraction method for the separation of cobalt and nickel in a millifluidic system using Cyphos IL 101 (C101) as the extractant. The optimal conditions for extraction performance and solvent properties were determined by investigating the effects of channel length, flow rate, and temperature. The performance of a developed manifold structure was compared to a single-channel system, and excellent separation results were achieved. The continuous separation process using the manifold structure resulted in high purity cobalt and nickel products.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
