Investigation of internal phases of linear SBS modified bitumen at the nanoscale using AFM PF-QNM
Currently, few studies explore the internal phases of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified bitumen at the nanoscale, though the surface phases of SBS modified bitumen have been deeply understood through a lot of research.

Converting biomass‐derived syngas into value‐added fuels and chemicals offers a promising route toward carbon neutrality, yet unfavorable H2/COx ratios, elevated CO2 levels, and trace impurities pose persistent obstacles. This review examines strategies spanning syngas conditioning, impurity‐tolerant catalyst development, and integrated process design,

Impacts of refining Canadian partially upgraded bitumen: Fluid catalytic cracking
Abstract In this study, we examine the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) performance of vacuum gas oil (VGO) from partially upgraded bitumen (PUB), a novel refinery feedstock from Canadian bitumen. FCC experiments were conducted in a lab‐scale FCC unit with VGOs from two different PUBs prepared using thermal cracking and solvent deasphalting, along with ...

Hydrogen donor‐assisted visbreaking of Canadian oil sands bitumen
Abstract High‐viscosity Canadian oil sands bitumen requires processing for efficient transportation and refining. Partial upgrading technologies, primarily based on thermal processing, can effectively reduce, or even eliminate, the use of costly diluent, increase bitumen quality and market value, potentially decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and
