Fate of soil organic carbon and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a vineyard soil treated with biochar (2015)
Journal Article
Rombolà, A. G., Meredith, W., Baronti, S., Snape, C. E., Genesio, L., Vaccari, F. P., …Fabbri, D. (2015). Fate of soil organic carbon and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a vineyard soil treated with biochar. Environmental Science and Technology, 49(18), https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.5b02562

The effect of biochar addition on the levels of black carbon (BC) and polcyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in a vineyard soil in central Italy was investigated within a two year period. Hydropyrolysis (HyPy) was used to determine the contents of BC... Read More about Fate of soil organic carbon and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a vineyard soil treated with biochar.

Journal Article
Marshall, C., Uguna, J., Large, D. J., Meredith, W., Jochmann, M., Friis, B., …Orheim, A. (2015). Geochemistry and petrology of palaeocene coals from Spitzbergen — Part 2: Maturity variations and implications for local and regional burial models. International Journal of Coal Geology, 143, 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coal.2015.03.013

The Central Tertiary Basin is an uplifted part of the North Barents Shelf and should be an ideal location to understand the thermal history, maximum burial depth and overburden thickness in this petroleum-rich area. Efforts to quantify the thermal hi...

Geochemistry and petrology of Palaeocene coals from Spitsbergen — Part 1: oil potential and depositional environment (2015)
Journal Article
Marshall, C., Large, D. J., Meredith, W., Snape, C. E., Uguna, C. N., Spiro, B. F., …Friis, B. (2015). Geochemistry and petrology of Palaeocene coals from Spitsbergen — Part 1: oil potential and depositional environment. International Journal of Coal Geology, 143, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coal.2015.03.006

Abundant oil prone coal (Type III kerogen) deposits are preserved within the high latitude, middle Palaeocene, Todalen member of the Central Tertiary Basin, Spitsbergen Island, Norwegian Arctic. The coals (Svea, Longyear, Svarteper and Askeladden sea... Read More about Geochemistry and petrology of Palaeocene coals from Spitsbergen — Part 1: oil potential and depositional environment.

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)
Journal Article

Spectroscopic Studies of Internal Injector Deposits (IDID) Resulting from the Use of Non-Commercial Low Molecular Weight Polyisobutylenesuccinimide (PIBSI) (2014)
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...
