The materials were characterized by Fourier IR spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine, mercury and nitrogen porosimetry, X-ray diffraction analysis, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and CO chemisorption.

The most pronounced platinum aggregation was observed in supports prepared without template and in those prepared by admixing SAPO-11 to Pt/Al₂O₃ (compared to the deposition onto the composite support). The template catalysts are characterized by increased CO/Pt stoichiometry (according to the СО chemisorption data) and larger particle size (according to electron microscopy data), which is due to high surface defectiveness and formation of Pt particles of unusual flat morphology. Strong metal–support interaction in these samples was confirmed by the presence of high-temperature H₂ uptake peaks (above 750°С) in the temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) experiments; such peaks were absent in the TPR spectra of the analogs prepared without template.

In this work, methane bi-reforming (CH₄/H₂O/CO₂ = 3 : 2 : 1) to methanol was investigated over Cu-based catalysts in a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor under three configurations: thermal catalysis (no plasma), in-plasma catalysis (IPC), and post-plasma catalysis (PPC). Experiments were conducted at atmospheric pressure with discharge power ranging from 30 to 60 W, corresponding to a specific energy input (SEI) of 15‒30 J/cm³. Discharge power was quantified using the Lissajous method. Among the tested configurations, IPC exhibited the best performance, achieving CH₄ and CO₂ conversions of 35 and 30%, respectively, a space-time yield of 3.6 mmol g^–1 h^–1, and an energy efficiency of 5.5% at SEI ≈ 22 J/cm³.

To prevent operational difficulties, the plastic viscosity must be measured accurately and in a timely manner. Unfortunately, conventional laboratory techniques employed for its assessment are challenging to complete as the drilling progresses. To meet this need, this research introduces a novel artificial neural network (ANN) model that estimates plastic viscosity based on six commonly measured mud properties: March funnel viscosity, mud density, solid content, water content, oil content, and salinity (NaCl). A broad range of data was compiled from 142 experimental data points of different drilling mud samples in order to create and test the model. For training, the model employed 100 data points out of the total 142, while for testing, the remaining 42 were put into use. Results showed that the ANN-based model had exceptional prediction accuracy where model fitting to the training dataset produced a high correlation coefficient (R) of 0.99 and generalization to the testing dataset gave a more than satisfactory R value of 0.98. The results confirm that the ANN model proposed in this study is capable of predicting plastic viscosity with reasonable accuracy, providing a quick and efficient substitute to traditional laboratory testing procedures. This predictive model can be significantly helpful in dealing with real-time issues related to decisions made in the drilling operations, the design of mud, and problems with fluid viscosity in drilling.</p>","PeriodicalId":725,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum Chemistry","volume":"66 8","pages":"907 - 913"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149176837","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}
