Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, oil prices around the world have been on a roller coaster ride due to unstable demand and supply. Considering the innovations in electric storage technology and the rapid growth of the electric vehicle market, there is a possibility of a decline in the demand for petroleum-based fuels, which will force refiners to explore alternate ways to improve the yield of high-value products to keep their margins high. In contrast, demand for petrochemicals has witnessed tremendous growth in recent years, and there is a dynamic market for olefins and monomeric (building blocks) hydrocarbons. The emerging crude oil-to-chemical technology can provide an opportunity for integrating operational refineries with chemicals. The integration of refining with the production of high value-petrochemicals can lead to a framework that will add value to both upstream and downstream sectors. Integration has been proven to be environmentally driven by utilizing various refinery waste and by-products. The importance of thermal and catalytic processes in the integrated refinery is high, particularly the process of the integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) that generates electricity and byproducts as a feedstock for chemicals.

The aim of this Special Issue is to advance and disseminate knowledge in all the related areas of thermal and catalytic reaction mechanisms in petroleum processes, especially new viewpoints and practices about the integration of refining with petrochemicals, as well as the control and treatment of pollutants involved. Of course, the articles presented in this Special Issue cover all areas of petroleum conversion and are not limited to the above areas. Editors encourage innovative ideas and methods to be displayed in this Special Issue.

In this study, a facile electrochemical biosensing platform was fabricated with Laccase (Lac) immobilized on laser-induced graphene (LIG) electrode by glutaraldehyde covalently binding for the effective determination of gallic acid (GA). The patterned graphene for the LIG electrode was prepared by a one-step laser direct writing on the polyimide film in ambient air. The sheet layer and spatial mesh structures of LIG give the prepared LIG electrode a large specific surface area and good conductivity. The oxygen enrichment and good hydrophilicity cause LIG to favor covalent crosslinking with laccase through glutaraldehyde. The electrochemical sensor of GA on the prepared electrode was determined by chronoamperometry. Results show that the current signals of the laccase electrodes had an excellent linear relationship with GA in the concentration range of 0.1–20 mmol/L with a detection limit of 0.07 mmol/L under optimized experimental conditions. The prepared GA sensor with good selectivity, regeneration, and stability can be applied to biological samples such as sweat, urine and serum without needing sample pretreatment. Full article

Water is increasingly being used as a solvent in place of organic solvent in order to meet the demand for green chemical synthesis. Nevertheless, many of the reaction substrates are organic matter, which have low water solubility, resulting in a low reaction interface and limiting the development of organic-water biphasic systems. A surfactant is typically added to the two-phase system to form an emulsion to increase the contact area between the organic phase and the water. Compared to ordinary emulsion stabilized with the surfactant, Pickering emulsion offers better adhesion resistance, biocompatibility, and environmental friendliness. It possesses unrivaled benefits as an emulsifier and catalyst in a two-phase interfacial catalysis system (PIC). In this study, the amine group (NNDB) was employed to alter the surface of graphene oxide (GO). A stable Pickering emulsion was created by adsorbing GO-NNDB on the toluene–water interface. It was determined that the emulsion system had good stability by analyzing digital photographs and microscope images of droplets at various temperatures, and fluorescence microscopy images of emulsion droplets created by both newly added and recovered emulsifiers. This work provided the groundwork for future applications of Pickering emulsion in interfacial catalysis. Full article

The reaction performance of producing acetylene by light cycle oil (LCO) high temperature pyrolysis was investigated with a self-made electromagnetic induction heating device. The results showed that the reaction temperature and residence time were the main factors restricting the production of acetylene during LCO high temperature cracking. When the reaction temperature was 1800 °C and the residence time was 8.24 ms, the yield of acetylene reached 7.90%. At the same time, the comparative study of different raw materials shows that Yangzhou heavy cycle oil (YZHCO) with a higher content of chain alkanes, cycloalkanes, and tetrahydro-naphthalene aromatics was beneficial to the formation of acetylene, and the highest yield of acetylene reached to 12.7%. The preliminary characterization of byproduct carbon black showed it had a good structure and could be used for lithium electron conductive agent. Full article
