Coking and deactivation of a mesoporous Ni-CaO-ZrO2 catalyst in dry reforming of methane: a study under different feeding compositions (2014)
Journal Article

A previously developed mesoporous Ni–CaO–ZrO2 catalyst (NCZ) was submitted to dry reforming of methane (DRM), and the influence of feeding compositions on the properties of accumulated carbon was comprehensively studied. To this end, the used catalys... Read More about Coking and deactivation of a mesoporous Ni-CaO-ZrO2 catalyst in dry reforming of methane: a study under different feeding compositions.

High pressure water pyrolysis of coal to evaluate the role of pressure on hydrocarbon generation and source rock maturation at high maturities under geological conditions (2014)

High pressure water pyrolysis of coal to evaluate the role of pressure on hydrocarbon generation and source rock maturation at high maturities under geological conditions. Organic Geochemistry, 78, 44-51. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.orggeochem.2014.10.013

© 2014 Elsevier Ltd. This study investigates the effect of water pressure on hydrocarbon generation and source rock maturation at high maturities for a perhydrous Tertiary Arctic coal, Svalbard. Using a 25. ml Hastalloy vessel, the coal was pyrolysed...

Journal Article
Barker, J., Reid, J., Snape, C., Scurr, D., & Meredith, W. (2014). Spectroscopic Studies of Internal Injector Deposits (IDID) Resulting from the Use of Non-Commercial Low Molecular Weight Polyisobutylenesuccinimide (PIBSI). SAE International Journal of Fuels and Lubricants, 7(3), 762-770. https://doi.org/10.4271/2014-01-2720

Copyright © 2014 SAE International. Since 2009, there has been a rise in deposits of various types found in diesel fuel injection systems. They have been identified in the filter, the injector tip and recently inside the injector. The latter internal...

Experimental study of mercury removal from exhaust gases (2014)
Journal Article
Wdowin, M., Wiatros-Motyka, M. M., Panek, R., Stevens, L. A., Franus, W., & Snape, C. E. (2014). Experimental study of mercury removal from exhaust gases. Fuel, 128, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2014.03.041

An initial study has been made of the use of synthetic zeolites for mercury capture from exhaust gases. Synthetic zeolites (Na-X and Na-P1), and for comparison a natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) and activated carbon with bromine (AC/Br) were tested f...

Nitrogen-enriched and hierarchically porous carbon macro-spheres-ideal for large-scale CO2 capture (2014)
Journal Article
Zhu, B., Li, K., Liu, J., Liu, H., Sun, C.-G., Snape, C. E., & Guo, Z. (2014). Nitrogen-enriched and hierarchically porous carbon macro-spheres-ideal for large-scale CO2 capture. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 2(15), https://doi.org/10.1039/c4ta00438h

A facile and efficient “spheridization” method is developed to produce nitrogen-enriched hierarchically porous carbon spheres of millimeters in diameter, with intricate micro-, meso- and macro-structural features. Such spheres not only show exception... Read More about Nitrogen-enriched and hierarchically porous carbon macro-spheres-ideal for large-scale CO2 capture.
