П-complexation sorbents have been developed for adsorptive desulfurization during the last decade. They were used to selectively remove organosulfur molecules from hydrocarbon feeds like diesel and gasoline. The Cu+ ...

For refineries throughout the world, energy management is an important element for controlling total operating costs. Over the past decades, there appears to be an urgent need to retrofit the existing Heat Exchanger Network ...

Biofuels are one of renewable fuels used in many vehicles and industries. Vegetable oils which are green and non-toxic nature derived from agricultural feedstock, have been used for biofuel’s production for many years. Due ...

Preferential oxidation (PROX) of carbon monoxide is recognized to be the most suitable method to reduce the quantity of carbon monoxide in a H2-rich stream to an acceptable level for fuel cell applications. The aim of this ...

Methane partial oxidation (MPO) is considered as an alternative method to produce hydrogen since it is an exothermic reaction with affording a suitable H2/CO ratio of 2. However, carbon deposition on a catalyst is observed ...

LiAlH4 was modified with carbon aerogels (CAs) and catalysts to improve their desorption behaviors and desorption temperatures. The mechanical ball milling was used to mix LiAlH4 with the CAs and catalysts. TPD and ...

The poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels were prepared by Gamma- irradiation technique that can produce the cross-linking network of PVA molecules. This work wanted to improve the water absorption and moisture retention ...

Asphaltenes are fraction of crude oil that cause serious problems in the petroleum industry. The goal of this study is to compare trends in asphaltene aggregation and deposition. More specifically, to relate the asphaltene ...

Chitosan and silk sericin were incorporated into bacterial cellulose pellicles in order to develop a bacterial cellulose-based wound dressing having both antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Bacterial cellulose pellicles ...
