Synthesis of functionalized polyolefins in a new continuous bench‐scale reactor apparatus

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In‐reactor functionalized polyolefins (FPOs), produced by molecular catalysts, are a new class of polymer materials with applications ranging from high performance adhesives to bitumen compatibilization. In this work, we disclose a procedure for the synthesis of FPOs in a new Continuous Bench‐scale Reactor Apparatus (COBRA).

Insights Into the Effect of Humic Acids Extraction From Coal on Hard Carbon Microstructure and Sodium Storage Properties

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
This study employs a simple solid‐phase alkali‐oxygen oxidation (SAO) method to extract inherent components (humic acids) from coal. We successfully extracted yellow, brown, and black humic acids by adjusting the amount of alkali. Among them, brown humic acid extraction created abundant ultra‐micropores and closed pores, greatly enhancing sodium ...

The efficiency of bio-char as bitumen modifier

Heliyon
Improving the mechanical properties of bitumen is an important goal for road pavements design. For this reason, new compounds are now being sought for testing as bitumen modifiers. In this work, the authors studied the effect that two different chars have on two 50/70 bitumens with different chemical and physical characteristics.
