Mining for Key Words: Sometimes All You Need Is The Abstract

“One's own self is well hidden from one's own self; of all mines of treasure, one's own is the last to be dug up.” -- Friedrich Nietzsche (German classical Scholar, Philosopher and Critic of culture, 1844-1900.)

Abstract
The term hydroconversion is used to signify processes by which molecules in petroleum feedstocks are split or saturated with hydrogen gas while tumbling boiling ranges and impurities content from petroleum fractions. Hydroprocessing is a broad term that includes hydrocracking, hydrotreating, and hydrorefining. To meet the gradual changes in petroleum stipulate, in particular a reduced demand for heavy fuel oil, advanced technologies for residue hydroprocessing are now extremely necessary. A refining process is needed for treating heavy petroleum fractions (atmospheric or vacuum oil residue) in the presence of catalysts and hydrogen at high pressure. In this article the different technologies for residua processing: thermal, catalytic fixed and ebullated types of hydroconversion are reviewed and discussed. A possibility of combining the advantages of these technologies together with suitable catalyst with enhanced and controlled cracking activity is also analyzed.

Summary
The use of cationic surfactants as structure-directing agents has resulted in the discovery of M41S, the first, ordered mesoporous molecular sieves [Kresge et al., 1992; Beck et al., 1992]. This new family of materials displays an array of structures that are thermally stable inorganic analogs of organic, lyotropic liquid crystalline phases [Beck et al., 1992; Chen et al., 1993; Monnier et al., 1993; Vartuli et al., 1994]. Furthermore, the chemistry of liquid crystal systems may be adapted in the synthesis of these mesoporous materials to further tailor structure and porosity. Herein we describe the ability of the surfactant molecules to interact with silicate counterions resulting in the formation of organosilicate-surfactant composite arrays that exhibit hexagonal, cubic, or lamellar structures. These composites may be further modified by choice of surfactant and/or auxiliary organics to produce uniform pore systems from 15 to greater than 100 . The final completely inorganic analogs of the liquid crystalline phases are isolated after removal of the organic liquid crystal template by air calcination. This resulting silicate structure, containing numerous silanol moieties, is amenable to a wide range of functionalization studies. The degree of control in tailoring these mesoporous molecular sieves has not been achieved in microporous systems [Davis, 1994].
