This review provides a comprehensive summary of current hydrocracking applications, and
presents recent advances in the synthesis and structure/composition control of various …

The supply of conventional light petroleum is being depleted, leading to increasing
dependence on unconventional oil sources such as heavy oil. Heavy oil often contains a …

Human activities such as burning fossil fuels for energy production have contributed to the
rising global atmospheric CO 2 concentration. The search for alternative renewable and …

Heavy oil contains significant amounts of metals with vanadium and nickel being the most
common. These metals are one of the main reasons for the deactivation of catalyst …

A practical approach to enhancing the performance of dispersed catalysts during slurry-
phase hydrocracking is the modification of the ligand structure of the catalyst precursor. An …

Background Heavy and super-heavy oils are characterized by a high content of resins and
asphaltenes, which complicate the transportation and refining of oil and lead to an increase …

The transformations of oil components from the Zyuzeevskoye field during catalytic
aquathermolysis in the presence of a nickel-containing catalyst precursor and hydrogen …

The design of novel practical catalysts is critical for the blossoming of biodiesel green-
energy, in which Mo-based catalysts are of particular interest. In this work, an in-situ …
