The calcined petroleum cokes are used in production of aluminum anode-grade, graphite electrode, needle-grade, titanium dioxide pigments. Petroleum coke (green and calcined) is produced by the high pressure thermal decomposition of heavy petroleum process streams and residues. Green coke undergoes additional thermal processing to produce calcined coke. Various properties of calcined cokes from ...

The objective of this work was to analyze the activity of petroleum coke and of activated carbons prepared from this material in the ozonation of aromatic contaminants of low biodegradability. 1,3,6-Naphthalenetrisulphonic acid (NTS) was selected as model compound for the study. The presence of the original coke during 1,3,6-naphthalenetrisulphonic acid ozonation produced a slight increase in t...

Nettle consumption, as well as persimmon, orange, coconut etc. can lead to phytobezoar formation. Coke and cellulase-resistant phytobezoars should be removed either endoscopically or surgically, depending on their dimensions. The treatment of choice for giant phytobezoars (more than 10 cm) is gastrotomy.

Dealumination of MCM-68 zeolite with MSE topology enhanced the selectivity to propylene (45-50%) and durability to coke formation during hexane cracking, regardless of the reaction temperature, which is attributed to the control of the position and density of acid sites originating from the framework Al atoms.

Monolithic catalysts derived from in situ supported hydrotalcite-like films on Al wires display high resistance to coke formation and sintering in the dry reforming of methane due to their hierarchical porous structure, well dispersed metallic nickel species, more basic sites and strong metal-support interaction effect.

In this paper, an integrated coke dry quenching combined gasification system using coke oven gas and steam to quench the incandescent coke is proposed. The distinct advantages of the system include energy conservation, pollution reduction, coke quality improvement and full use of resources. Based on the minimization of the Gibbs free energy, the flow rate and composition of the syngas are predi...

Objectives are to investigate the effects of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) on the autonomic nervous system of coke oven workers. One hundred eighty-four coke oven workers were divided into 3 groups according to their working sites (coke oven bottom group, coke oven side group and coke oven top group), and 93 referents were recruited. B[a]P monitored by air sampling pumps as well as urinary 1-hydroxypy...

In recent years, although the China government has carried out some serious investigation and effort to shut down the indigenous coke-production, it has not achieved effective control. The main image TM754 (red, green, blue) false color composite of Shanxi province in northern China was chosen as the study area in this paper. The indigenous coke-production sites are regions which appear red and...

Conversion of propanal to gasoline-range molecules was investigated over a series of HZSM-5 catalysts with controlled mesoporosity generated by desilication. Characterization of the structure of the solid by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), ammonia and isopropylamine temperature programmed desorption (TPD), and n-butane diffusivity measurements confirmed the...

Nano-SAPO-34 molecular sieves synthesized in a microwave environment with 20 nm crystal size showed a longer lifetime than SAPO-34 prepared by the conventional hydrothermal method in the reaction of methanol to olefins. It has been found that silicon distribution strongly affects the lifetime and selectivity. Thus, silicon at the border of the silicon islands gives a higher lifetime and lower C...
