TL;DR: In this paper, the development of active, selective, and stable hydrotreating catalysts is problematic due to the poor quality of current pyrolysis bio-oil feedstock (i.e., high oxygen content, molecular complexity, coking propensity, and corrosiveness).

TL;DR: This review is to determine whether the following questions have been sufficiently answered in the open literature, and if not, what additional information is required.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of lanthanum oxide (La2O3) in the catalytic synthesis of mixed higher (C2-C6) alcohols from syngas on Co-based catalysts was investigated using a combination of in situ and ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), catalyst reactivity performance studies, and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the inductive electron-withdrawing effect of diphenylphosphoryl (Ph2P═O) groups was shown to lower both the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) of a carbazole chromophore.

TL;DR: In this paper, a film-shear reactor was used to significantly enhance the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of model fuels using hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant, and significant increases in the amount of sulfur removed were seen in comparison to conventionally stirred ODS reactions.
