Catalytic steam reforming is a meaningful strategy to produce syngas from high temperature
tar. High temperature tar is the by-product of coal or biomass pyrolysis under high …

252 literature sources and about 5000 crude oil assays were reviewed in this work. The
review has shown that the petroleum characterization can be classified in three categories …

Inefficient conversion of structure-complicated and oxygen-enriched asphaltenes is found as
the major challenge facing coal tar in achieving high value-added utilization. Hydrogenation …

The structural characteristics of polycyclic aromatic units in three liquefaction-derived heavy
fractions from Zhunnan lignite, including thermal dissolution (TD) in cyclohexane (HF C) …

This work introduces a new element-selective gas chromatography detector for the accurate
quantification of traces of volatile oxygen-containing compounds in complex samples …

Significant differences exist in the structural features between coal-derived asphaltene and
petroleum asphaltene (eg, the degree of alkylation, aromatic nuclei size, heteroatom …

An O-containing structure in coal can affect the pyrolysis process; however, the influence of
the introduced O-containing functional groups has rarely been investigated. To study this …

Asphaltenes are the heaviest and least understood fraction for the petroleum and coal-
derived oil resulting in the great challenge during the hydrotreating (HDT) process. In this …

Heavy fractions (eg, asphaltene and resin) can easily be subjected to physical aggregation
and chemical coking reaction through molecular force in the process of lightweight …

The composition of asphaltenes is of interest due to the challenges they pose for industry
and their high complexity, encompassing a range of heteroatom contents, molecular …
