Thermal Adsorption Processing of Hydrocarbon Residues
Abstract: The raw materials of secondary catalytic processes must be pre-refined. Among these refining processes are the deasphalting and demetallization including their thermo-adsorption (or thermo-contact adsorption) variety. In oil processing, four main processes of thermo-adsorption refining of hydrocarbon residues are used—Asphalt Residual Treating- residues deasphaltizing (ART), Discriminatory Destructive Distillation (3D), developed in the US; Adsorption-Contact Treatment (ACT) and Express Thermo-Contact Cracking (ETCC), developed in Russia. ART and ACT are processes with …

Hazards of Power Production-A comparative study
Abstract: Nuclear energy has played a major role in reducing the world's use of oil for electricity generation over the past decades. Current estimates are that uranium resources will last some 400 to 500 years at the present rate of use. This resource base could, furthermore, last some 50 times longer if breeder reactors are introduced. Of the main energy sources, namely coal, hydro and nuclear, nuclear can be even considered …

Application of Poly (o-anisidine) Nanocomposite and PET Recycled Polyester Amide in Anticorrosive Coatings
Abstract: AbstractPolyethylene terephthtalate (PET) was depolymerized through aminolysis technique using ethanolamine into Bis (2-hydroxyethylene) terepthalamide (BHETA). BHETA is having hydroxyl functionality present in it so it is used as monomer and treated with sebacic acid using sulphuric acid as a catalyst. The synthesized resin having ester linkage present in it along with that in BHETA, amide linkage is also present hence it can be called as polyesteramide resin. This synthesized carboxyl …

Revamp of Feed Preheat Network Using Aspen Hysys in a Kero Hydro-Desulphurization Unit
Abstract: The paper is based on the revamp of feed preheat network in a Kero hydro-desulphurization unit. This revamp is beneficial as it does not require additional equipment to raise the feed temperature. Desulphurization of crude is a catalytic process used in oil and gas refining industry to remove sulphur content from refined petroleum products. Previously, feed was charged from the crude distillation unit at 103°C. Due to envisaged changes, the …

Utilization of Flue Gas Conditioned Fly Ashes in Cement and Construction Industries
Abstract: Fly ash is a waste generated from coal based boilers and has been used in various civil engineeringapplications. The pozzolanic activity of the fly ash plays a major role in its utilization. The ageing of theelectrostatic precipitators (ESPs), variation in coal and ash properties results in higher suspendedparticulate matter (SPM) emissions. Globally the SPM limits are being reduced, flue gas conditioning(FGC), i.e. dosing of ammonia and sulphur trioxide to the …

Recent Advances in Crystal Defect Engineering of Semiconductor Photocatalysts for Sustainable Environmental and Energy Applications
Abstract: Semiconductor photocatalysis has emerged as one of the most promising green technologies for addressing environmental pollution and global energy challenges through solar energy utilization. Nevertheless, the practical application of conventional semiconductor photocatalysts is often limited by their narrow visible-light absorption, rapid recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, insufficient active sites, and poor charge-transfer efficiency. Defect engineering has recently attracted significant attention as an effective strategy to overcome these limitations by deliberately …
