With the decrease of the distance of Fe-O. the charge of Fe ion increases, the charge of hydrogen ion decreases, and hydrogen bond is weakened. There are obvious and more stable effects to use the catalyst that contains multiple metal ions or increase the catalyst amount in weakening hydrogen bond of the thick oil. This theoretic work is helpful to exploit and process the thick oil of petroleum and maybe overcome the crisis of petroleum energy is approaching to us.展开更多

The results of commercial application of the catalyst have revealed that the catalyst after pretreatment including drying, sulfidation and reduction can process VGO into base oils meeting the HVI II and HVI II+ standards, and can manufacture base oils meeting the HVI III standard after incorporating the filtrate oil or gatch from acetone-benzene solvent dewaxing unit. The nitrogen content of the feed oil to the IDW reactor should be controlled at 1.0—1.5 ppm, while the CO and CO2 contents in fresh hydrogen is strictly controlled to avoid poisoning of the IDW-HDF catalysts.展开更多

These approaches may be inadequate to analyse the effect of each excipient and their potential interactions on the emulsion droplet size formed when dispersing the SNEDDS in an aqueous environment. The current study investigates the emulsion droplet sizes formed from SNEDDS containing different levels of the natural surfactant monoacyl phosphatidylcholine to reduce the concentration of the synthetic surfactant polyoxyl 40 hydrogenated castor oil(Kolliphor ~? RH40). Monoacyl phosphatidylcholine was used in the form of Lipoid S LPC 80(LPC, containing approximately 80% monoacyl phosphatidylcholine, 13% phosphatidylcholine and 4% concomitant components). The investigated SNEDDS comprised of long-chain or medium-chain glycerides(40% to 75%), Kolliphor ~? RH40(5% to 55%), LPC(0 to 40%) and ethanol(0 to 10%). D-optimal design, multiple linear regression, and partial least square regression were used to screen different SNEDDS within the investigated excipient ranges and to analyse the effect of each excipient on the resulting droplet size of the dispersed SNEDDS measured by dynamic light scattering. All investigated formulations formed nano-emulsions with droplet sizes from about 20 to 200 nm. The use of mediumchain glycerides was more likely to result in smaller and more monodisperse droplet sizes compared to the use of long-chain glycerides. Kolliphor~? RH40 exhibited the most significant effect on reducing the emulsion droplet sizes. Increasing LPC concentration increased the emulsion droplet sizes, possibly because of the reduction of Kolliphor~? RH40 concentration. A higher concentration of ethanol resulted in an insignificant reduction of the emulsion droplet size. The study provides different ternary diagrams of SNEDDS containing LPC and Kolliphor ~? RH40 as a reference for formulation developers.展开更多

The influences of the MHSO mass ratio on the hydrophobicity, sur- face composition, surface morphology, dispersion and particle-size distribution of the NH4H2PO4 were studied, and the influence of the drying air temperature on the decomposition of the NH4H2PO4 was also researched. The results indicate that the MHSO and FK-510 congregate on the particle surfaces and then form a hydrophobic shell. This shell improves the particle hydrophobicity and leads to a fine dispersion of the particles. During the process of preparing the precursor solution, 3 wt% （based on the weight of NH4H2 PO4 ） was chosen as the optimum value of the MHSO mass ratio. During the spray drying, a low abso- lute humidity of the air should be maintained, and it is very important to keep the exit-air temperature below 100℃ to avoid decomposition.展开更多

Hydrogen sulfide（H2S） is produced during the biological sulfate reduction process. The production of toxic H2S is one of the concerns because it may hinder the landscape remediation efficiency of oil sands tailing ponds. In present study, the in situ activity and the community structure of SRB in MFT and gypsum amended MFT in two settling columns were investigated. Combined techniques of H2S microsensor and dissimilatory sulfite reductase β-subunit（dsrB） genes-based real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction（qPCR） were applied to detect the in situ H2S and the abundance of SRB. A higher diversity of SRB and more H2S were observed in gypsum amended MFT than that in MFT, indicating a higher sulfate reduction activity in gypsum amended MFT; in addition, the activity of SRB varied as depth in both MFT and gypsum amended MFT： the deeper the more H2S produced. Long-term plans for tailings management can be assessed more wisely with the information provided in this study.展开更多
