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
HeliyonImproving 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.

Quantitative Insights into Atomic Scale Oil–Clay Adhesion Governing Shale Oil Retention and Mobility
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.Atomic force microscopy reveals a clear adhesion hierarchy between shale oil and clay minerals, governed by nanoscale surface chemistry. Strong interactions on chlorite and illite arise from abundant polar sites and cation bridging, whereas weaker coupling on montmorillonite limits interfacial binding.
