Article Abstract

In this study, we investigated the solvent performance of six heavy oils from Xinjiang, China, for coal-oil co-liquefaction (COCL). Autoclave experiments revealed that shale oil vacuum residue (SOVR) provided the best liquefaction performance. The oils were characterized using FT-IR, C-NMR, H-NMR, and column chromatography, which revealed that they were mainly composed of aliphatic compounds, with minor aromatic and substituted aromatic compounds. The pyrolytic degradation quality indices (PDQIs), solubility parameter (δ), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content (H + H) were calculated and correlated with liquefaction performance. The results showed a strong linear relationship between H + H and oil yield (R = 0.90), and the aromatic content (AR) was also positively related to oil yield. This study suggests that AR content and H + H are effective indicators for evaluating the solvent performance of heavy oils in COCL.

Mustard agents, including sulphur mustard (SM) and nitrogen mustard (NM), are chemical warfare agents that can cause blistering of the skin and mucous membranes upon contact. Although SM and NM both have dermal effects, their medical management of systemic poisoning differs significantly. A rapid and simple method for detecting and discriminating between SM and NM would be greatly valuable.

The research team established a quantitative H NMR method to determine the relative ethoxy content (EO%) in ethylcellulose using a CDCl/TFA-d solvent mixture. High-field NMR spectroscopy enabled direct measurement without the use of internal or external calibrants by integrating the methyl proton signals (δ 1.15 ppm) and the methylene/methine proton signals (δ 2.

Liquid chromatography has advanced considerably since its introduction in the 1970s, with reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) becoming the dominant technique for separating non-volatile molecules. A key strategy for optimising separation conditions is the modelling of chromatographic retention from experimental data. Traditionally, this is achieved by fitting model parameters for each solute, resulting in individual solute models (ISMs).

Maximizing the exposure of edge sites and achieving sufficient promotion remain arduous tasks for designing efficient bimetallic MoS-based catalysts. Herein, ultrathin CoMoS nanosheets vertically grown on reduced graphene oxide (CoMoS/rGO-DMF) were fabricated by a facile one-pot solvothermal method using dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent. The vertically aligned structure and good Co promotion endow CoMoS/rGO-DMF with abundant Co-Mo-S active sites and excellent catalytic performance in the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) reaction.

The use of metabolic selection markers has advanced stable cell line generation, increasing productivity while simultaneously eliminating the need for antibiotic reagents. This study explores the potential of bacterially derived glutamine synthetases (GS) as a novel generation of metabolic selection markers to further enhance CHO cell culture performance. GS-I proteins were extracted from the genomes of enterobacterial and actinomycetes species.
