Hidden in Plain Sight: Aromaticity of Hexagonal Boron Nitride

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
How apt is the nickname “white graphene” for hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)? Although graphene's aromaticity is well established, it is not known if hBN is aromatic. In this work, hBN's aromaticity is probed using magnetic and energetic criteria. Group‐theoretic considerations and magnetically induced current density maps are used to further reveal the ...

Impacts of refining Canadian partially upgraded bitumen: Fluid catalytic cracking

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
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 ...

A novel bubbling fluid bed reactor for the autothermal pyrolysis of waste plastics

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract A new pilot‐scale fluidized bed reactor operated under continuous conditions was developed and tested for the thermal pyrolysis of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE). The study focused on assessing the reliability and operability of the system under different operating conditions (400–550°C), while monitoring mass and energy balances, product ...

Low‐Temperature in Situ Upgrading of Ultra‐Deep Heavy Oil Using Ni–Ce/MOF–OTf Superacid Catalysts to Enhance Energy Utilization and Sustainability

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
A triflate‐functionalized Ni–Ce/MOF–OTf superacid enables low‐temperature (∼140°C) in situ upgrading of ultra‐deep heavy oil. It reduces viscosity by 92.11% in 12 h, maintains activity over cycles, and delivers 90.25% recovery with a lower carbon footprint by selective bond cleavage. ABSTRACT Ultra‐deep heavy oil is an important unconventional resource,

Recent Advances of Perovskite Oxides for Air Pollution Control Chemistry: The Closed Loop From Design to Application

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This review summarizes a descriptor‐guided framework for linking theoretical calculations, in situ/operando characterization, synthesis regulation, and application screening in functional materials. Emphasis is placed on dynamic structure–property relationships that enable low‐cost material design with enhanced activity, stability, and environmental ...

Combining paleoecology and modeling to explore cascading disturbances in forest ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate‐induced cascading disturbance interactions pose a major challenge to the sustainable provision of forest ecosystem services to society. Developing a deeper understanding and enhanced capacity to simulate these interactions is essential for identifying disturbance‐induced tipping points in forest ecosystems, and for improving management in ...

Carbon‐Negative Upcycling of Sewage Sludge into Superiorly Stable Gel Via Liquid‐Phase Utilization Strategy for Water‐Remediation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This work developed a low‐temperature sludge hydrothermal coupled with gel crosslinking strategy which could upgrade the waste liquid generated from sewage sludge hydrothermal treatment into the hydrothermal‐liquid‐gel. The inventive hydrothermal‐liquid‐gel exhibited the enhanced pollutant removal capability, high synthetic stability, and superior ...
