Oil shale is an important strategic resource with tremendous reserve. In-situ retorting is the
only technology available to achieve large-scale industrial exploitation. This paper …

Technologies based on cavitation, produced by either ultrasound or hydrodynamic means,
are part of growing literature for individual refinery unit processes. In this review, we have …

In order to achieve the reutilization of waste biomass soybean dregs, a low-cost hydrogel,
soybean dregs–poly (acrylic acid)(SESD–PAA) was prepared through a one-step reaction …

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have diverse outstanding properties and potential application,
but there are not many reports on the preparation of CQDs from agricultural waste without …

The use of water in hydrothermal and supercritical conditions as a medium to upgrade
heavy oil fractions has shown promising results and presents an interesting alternative for …

In this study, the topochemical reaction strategy, utilizing Huadian oil shale to produce shale
gas, liquid, and solid residues, has been demonstrated. Thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier …

Global immature and low-maturity shale resources are enormous and have a significant
potential for future energy substitution. However, the utilization of these resources faces …

This study has defined the average molecular structure of kerogen from Huadian oil shale
containing both atomic and molecular information. Pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass …

In this paper the effect of supercritical water (SCW) at 374° C and 22.4–24.6 MPa on the
conversion of resins, asphaltenes, and kerogens in rocks of different lithofacies of Domanic …

The extraction process and mechanism of kerogen moieties with supercritical CO 2 are
elucidated using molecular dynamics simulations. It is demonstrated that supercritical CO 2 …
