Repurposing Your Google® Search Strings

“I've done the calculation and your chances of winning the lottery are identical whether you play or not.” -- Fran Lebowitz (American Writer and Humorist, b.1950)

Today’s TIP: Use your Google® search string to search Google Scholar® (http://scholar.google.com/) to find equally useful but completely different results.

For example, Google® search string dibenzothiophene OR thiophene OR thiophenic served up an interesting site labeled EAWAG’s Biocatalysis/Biodegradation Database, which offers such pathways as the Dibenzothiophene Desulfurization Map (see previous post: EAWAG’s Biocatalysis/Biodegradation Database).

Searching Google Scholar® using the identical search string yields different, but quite useful, results.  One result of such a search is …

Few-layered graphene-like boron nitride induced a remarkable adsorption capacity for dibenzothiophene in fuels

Metal-free graphene-like boron nitride (BN) samples were prepared and applied as adsorbents for removing dibenzothiophene (DBT) in model oil. The results showed that the graphene-like BN exhibited a remarkable adsorption performance. The adsorption capacity could reach 28.17 mg S g⁻¹ adsorbent. Experiments have been carried out to investigate the effects of the number of BN layers, DBT initial concentration, and temperature on DBT adsorption. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were used to study the adsorption of DBT on BN. The kinetic results showed that the adsorption process was best described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Density functional theory (DFT) was employed to prove that the Lewis acid–base interaction plays an important role in removing DBT over graphene-like BN.
