Catalytic reactions in the follow-ing chemical processes were included: conversion of synthesis gas (obtained from the gasification of woody biomass) to liquid fuels (hydrocarbons and alcohols); conversion of vegetable oils to liquid hydrocarbons; conversion of algae oils to liquid hydrocarbons; and conversion of bioethanol to liquid hydrocarbons. Polymerization and hydrotreatment were two main catalytic technologies in these chemical processes. The polymerization reactions included Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, mixed alcohols synthesis, and ethylene oligomerization. Hydrotreatment reactions included cracking, isomerization, and deoxygenation. Metal catalysts, solid acid catalysts, and bifunctional catalysts containing metal and solid acid were developed for the reactions. Slurry reactor, fixed-bed flow reactor, and autoclave batch reactor were used according to the requirements of the various reactions. Active metal species, support effect, and balance between metal and solid acid in the bifunctional catalysts were dis-cussed in the development of active catalysts. Using these catalysts and processes, various biomass feedstocks could be converted to hydrocarbon biofuels with the same chemical compositions as conventional petroleum-derived gasoline, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas jet","PeriodicalId":17362,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Japan Petroleum Institute","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82589955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Huge fluid intrusion not only causes borehole instability, but also creates severe formation damage and reduces well productivity. Therefore, reducing fluid intrusion is crucial in these reservoirs1). Granular, fibrous, and lamellar solid materials are commonly added in water-based drilling fluids as plugging agents. By designing solid particles size compatible with the pore throat, bridging occurs in the reservoir near the borehole wall to achieve filtration control2). As the long-time circulation in the high temperature and high-pressure wellbore, the solid phase material tends to take place complicated problems such as coalescence, settlement, acid dissolution, gelatinization, viscoelastic damage, etc. Therefore, maintaining the size distribution to ensure good sealing against specific rocks is difficult. Moreover, the solid particles remaining in the reservoir have a negative impact on production. Recently, a colloidal gas aphron (CGA) drilling fluid technology has been successfully applied internationally to solve the huge leakage problems, as listed in Table 1. The fluid system has been proved to have the advantages of reducing fluid invasion and reservoir damage significantly, no need for additional pressurization equipment, high cutting carrying efficiency, shortening drilling cycle and reducing drilling cost3)~5). A large number of aphrons generated by surfactants and polymers exist in the CGA fluid. Aphrons are microbubbles composed of a gas core and a thick multilayered aqueous surfactant shell. These robust and elastic microbubbles are ideal bridging materials with a wide size distribution and can be deformed to adapt to various pores and fractures6)~8). Pasdar et al. observed the changes in the particle size of the aphrons under a microscope with sudden or stepwise pressure, and found that the aphrons can survive under 2000 psig and ambient temperature. Growcock et al. further proposed that aphrons can survive at 4000 psig and ambient temperature. More importantly, aphrons show little affinity for each other and for mineral surfaces. Consequently, aphrons can be cleaned up to the ground [Regular Paper]","PeriodicalId":17362,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Japan Petroleum Institute","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80017403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At first, response surface model (RSM) was obtained with four approxima-tion methods, among which the radial basis function (RBF) method was found to give the highest score accurate RSM with the smallest average error and the highest coefficient of determination among them. Then the virtual experiments were carried out with the RSM applied with multiobjective genetic algorithm (MOGA) to optimize the catalyst design considering the multiobjective; to yield less bottoms, less coke, more gasoline and less gas. After 5000 virtual experiments with RSM were carried out, we found that the pareto front was obtained. Finally, the optimum catalyst design was selected from the designs on the pareto front. As a result, the selected catalyst design showed 2.7 % higher gasoline yield and was confirmed to show the excellent performance over conventional FCC catalyst.","PeriodicalId":17362,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Japan Petroleum Institute","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84268131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Catalysts supported on anatase JRC (Japan Reference Catalyst)-TIO-10 showed the highest activity for the dehydrogenative reaction. Preparation of catalysts using [Ir(cod)Cl] 2 (cod ＝ 1,5-cyclooctadiene) as an iridium precursor resulted in higher activity than using Ir(acac) 3 (acac ＝ acetylacetonate). Various primary alcohols were reacted to give corresponding benzoxazoles in high to moderate yields. The catalyst could be recycled without significant loss of activity, and no leaching of iridium species occurred into the solution. The hot filtration test strongly suggested that the catalysis occurs on the catalyst surface. Highly dispersed iridium species of less than 2 nm in diameter, which could be reduced at low temperature, were responsible for the excellent activity.","PeriodicalId":17362,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Japan Petroleum Institute","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90183565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the aromatization of alkanes, various metal-loaded zeolite catalysts based on ZSM-51)~14), MCM-2215), ZSM-1116), and L zeolite17)~21) have been extensively developed. In particular, Znor Ga-containing ZSM-5 provides high catalytic activities and selectivities for aromatic compounds because of the combination of the dehydrogenation over the metal species and Brønsted acidity of the ZSM-5 zeolite1),3),5),6),10). Furthermore, the metal species are highly dispersed on ZSM-5 through the replacement of protons on ZSM-5 with the metal species by ion exchange and reducing-oxidizing treatment to provide active sites such as cationic metal species instead of bulk ZnO and Ga2O322)~25). Since the aromatization of alkanes fundamentally proceeds via the dehydrogenation of alkanes, it is important to increase the number of active metal sites for improving the catalytic performances. The incorporation of metal species into the framework of zeolite through the hydrothermal synthesis leads to the formation of highly dispersed and isolated metal species in the zeolite. In addition, the incorporation of trivalent Ga species, instead of Al species, into the zeolite framework generates Brønsted acid sites with weaker acidity than those generated by the incorporation of Al species24), resulting in a bifunctional catalyst for the aromatization of alkanes26)~30). We previously found that Zn-containing MFI zeolite synthesized by the hydrothermal treatment in the absence of Al species exhibited a high catalytic activity for the dehydrogenation of n-butane to produce 1,3-butadiene31). Introducing Zn species into the zeolite would form isolated active Zn sites with high dehydrogenation activity. Therefore, it is expected that the formation of both isolated Zn and Ga sites in zeolite would improve the catalytic performances of zeolite catalysts for the aromatization (dehydrocyclization) of alkanes to selectively produce BTX.

The characterization results showed that Y(OH) 3 was highly dispersed on the Y 2 O 3 /SiO 2 catalyst, acting as a Brønsted base and promoting LA formation from pyruvaldehyde (PA). Brønsted acid sites (hydroxyl groups) located at the interface between Y(OH) 3 and SiO 2 promoted the dehydration of trioses to form PA.
