Ten for 10 … The 10 most popular posts since the Desulf Blog began 10 years ago
Unbelievable … in March, 2019, the Desulfurization Blog will be 10 years old.
In celebration of that fact, here is a list of the top 10 posts since March,
2009.
Caveat … the Web is an ever changing organism. While I have done my best to review the links in the following posts, some of them may be obsolete.

Since the publication of this post, Dr. Gray, who was the scientific director
for the Institute for Oil Sands Innovation until summer of 2014, retired from
the University of Alberta and became Professor Emeritus. He is not accepting
any new graduate students or post-doctoral fellows.

Here
is something you can do to improve your online research results … Let’s say
you’re interested in recent published results of Saudi Aramco’s
desulfurization activities. But you’re interested in substance, not news.

Not
all LinkedIn groups are created equal. Some are little more than
infomercials. Others are a mix. The Oil Refining Global Technology Forum is a
mix.
UPDATE: A recent search on the Oil Refining Global Technology Forum resulted in the following message: ***THIS PAGE IS NO LONGER UP TO DATE: Please join our other group 'Oil Refining: World Refining Association' *** |

A
few posts ago I highlighted Sulphco’s efforts to commercialize its
Sonocracking™ desulfurization technology. As noted in the Wikinvest article
on Sulphco, “Major companies like Merichem, ChevronTexaco (CVX) ,
CONOCOPHILLIPS (COP) and other large oil producers have been actively
pursuing their own versions of sonocracking.” However, even companies with
such vast resources at their disposal can have setbacks.
TIP: For current information on similar processes, Google® the phrase vacuum residue slurry hydrocracking |

Why
search more than one journal database? Simple answer … because they cover
different journals.

Consider
showing your expertise by following and participating in a LinkedIn® group. I
do. I am not an expert in the technologies used in refining heavy oil. But I
am an expert in searching for information on these technologies. So when I
found the following post to the Heavy Oil group, I responded with a helpful
comment

Online
database vendors like EbscoHost, LexisNexis, and ScienceDirect work hard to
make it easy for you to access their data.
Librarians and other information professionals work hard to make your
people aware of the resources and how to use them.

Foreign
languages have fascinated me since I was a kid. So every once in a while, I
use the Arabic Keyboard, an iGoogle tool, to type in words I have found as I
search the Internet for useful desulfurization items. Of course, I can’t read
the resulting pages, and the Google® translation is sometimes bizarre. But if
you are fluent in the language, you might try it out.
UPDATE: iGoogle was discontinued November 2013. TIP: To find an Arabic keyboard, visit: http://www.arabic-keyboard.org/ |

Dibenzothiophene and Open Access
This blog focuses on desulfurization. But that focus is just a pretext for a
more important effort … the effort to improve our ability to find useful
technology information on the Web.
To that end, this post presents both a particular free full text article on dibenzothiophene, and tips on how to find open access articles on desulfurization in particular, and technology in general.

Abstract
Sulfur compounds in fuel oils are a major source of atmospheric pollution. This study is focused on the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT) via the coupled application of 0.5 wt% Pd-loaded Co–Mo/Al2O3 and Ni–Mo/Al2O3 catalysts with ionic liquids (ILs) at ambient temperature (120 °C) and pressure (1 MPa H2). The enhanced HDS activity of the solid catalysts coupled with [BMIM]BF4, [(CH3)4N]Cl, [EMIM]AlCl4, and [(n-C8H17)(C4H9)3P]Br was credited to the synergism between hydrogenation by the former and extractive desulfurization and better H2 transport by the latter, which was confirmed by DFT simulation. The Pd-loaded catalysts ranked highest by activity i.e. Pd–Ni–Mo/Al2O3 > Pd–Co–Mo/Al2O3 > Ni–Mo/Al2O3 > Co–Mo/Al2O3. With mild experimental conditions of 1 MPa H2 pressure and 120 °C temperature and an oil : IL ratio of 10 : 3.3, DBT conversion was enhanced from 21% (by blank Ni–Mo/Al2O3) to 70% by Pd–Ni–Mo/Al2O3 coupled with [(n-C8H17)(C4H9)3P]Br. The interaction of polarizable delocalized bonds (in DBT) and van der Waals forces influenced the higher solubility in ILs and hence led to higher DBT conversion. The IL was recycled four times with minimal loss of activity. Fresh and spent catalysts were characterized by FESEM, ICP-MS, EDX, XRD, XPS and BET surface area techniques. GC-MS analysis revealed biphenyl as the major HDS product. This study presents a considerable advance to the classical HDS processes in terms of mild operating conditions, cost-effectiveness, and simplified mechanization, and hence can be envisaged as an alternative approach for fuel oil processing.

1. Introduction
Organosulfur compounds leading to the production of deleterious and hazardous sulfur oxides, i.e. SOx, from the combustion of fuel oils has led to the permissible limits of sulfur becoming much more stringent over the years.1 Among the many desulfurization approaches, such as oxidative desulfurization,2 biodesulfurization3 and extractive desulfurization,4 hydrodesulfurization (HDS) ranks higher, attributed to its diverse nature, high practicability and efficiency.5 HDS generally utilizes a Co or Ni sulfide phase added to Mo impregnated over Al2O3-supported catalysts.6–8 Furthermore, incorporation of a third promoter metal, i.e. Pt, Pd, and Ir, can further enhance the HDS activity of classical catalysts.5,9,10 Despite its efficient and versatile nature, HDS suffers from complex mechanization, poor safety and harsh temperature (380–400 °C) and pressure (8 MPa) operating conditions.11–13 Similarly, expensive catalytic promoters like Pt, Pd, and Ir further add to the uncontrolled process costs. Thus, an HDS process operated at mild temperature and pressure over a low-cost catalyst without compromising on the process efficiency could offer an alternative route for fuel oil processing.
Apart from HDS, a newer approach to fuel oil desulfurization research is extraction using ionic liquids (ILs).14,15 Aspects such as ease of synthesis, high recycling ability, low volatility, high thermal stability and environmental friendliness are credited for the widespread application of ILs.16 However, few studies on the integrated application of ILs with solid catalysts have been reported in hydrogenation reactions,17 which emphasizes that ILs coupled with solid catalysts should be tested for HDS of fuel oils.
In previous work, we reported 52% dibenzothiophene (DBT) conversion in a HDS process with a mild operating temperature and pressure by the coupled application of selected ILs with Ce–Ni–Mo/Al2O3 catalysts.18 However, to further improve the efficiency of solid catalyst-coupled ILs HDS processes, more exploration is required for new types of catalysts and ILs.
Pd has been reported as a more promising promoter for classical HDS catalysts than many of its counterparts, e.g. Ir and Ru.19,20 However, to our knowledge, no studies on the HDS of DBT coupled with ILs using Pd-promoted Co–Mo/Al2O3 and Ni–Mo/Al2O3 catalysts at mild operating conditions have been reported so far. Extractive desulfurization by ILs can augment the hydrogenation by solid catalysts in their blended application at mild operating conditions. Low Pd loading and mild operating conditions can concomitantly lead to cost-effectiveness and process safety. Thus, in this work, HDS of DBT was performed at 120 °C temperature and 1 MPa H2 pressure over low (0.5 wt%) Pd-loaded Co–Mo/Al2O3 and Ni–Mo/Al2O3 sulfide phase catalysts coupled with selected ILs. The fresh and spent catalysts were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and BET surface area techniques. The reaction products were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed via high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS), respectively, and a suitable reaction mechanism was proposed.

///////
FROM WIKIPEDIA
Open access (OA) is a mechanism by which research outputs are distributed online, free of cost or other barriers, and, in its most precise meaning, with the addition of an open license applied to promote reuse.
Academic articles (as historically seen in print-based academic journals) have been the main focus of the movement. Conventional (non-open access) journals cover publishing costs through access tolls such as subscriptions, site licenses or pay-per-view charges. Open access can be applied to all forms of published research output, including peer-reviewed and non peer-reviewed academic journal articles, conference papers, theses, book chapters, and monographs.
Open access research does not require payment to access articles, and is instead funded through other means. The main routes to open access are:
Open access journals ('gold' open access): The publisher of the journal makes all articles and related content available for free on the journal's website.
Hybrid open access journals:[21] partially funded by subscriptions, and only provide open access for those individual articles for which the authors (or research sponsor) pay a publication fee[22]
Self-archiving ('green' open access): After peer review by a journal, the author posts the same content the journal will be publishing to a website controlled by the author, the research institution that funded or hosted the work, or which has been set up as a central open access repository.
Advantages and disadvantages of open access have generated considerable discussion amongst researchers, academics, librarians, university administrators, funding agencies, government officials, commercial publishers, editorial staff and society publishers. Reactions of existing publishers to open access journal publishing have ranged from moving with enthusiasm to a new open access business model, to experiments with providing as much free or open access as possible, to active lobbying against open access proposals. There are many publishers that started up as open access-only publishers, such as PLOS, Hindawi Publishing Corporation, Frontiers in... journals, MDPI and BioMed Central.

SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) works to enable the open sharing of research outputs and educational materials in order to democratize access to knowledge, accelerate discovery, and increase the return on our investment in research and education. As a catalyst for action, SPARC focuses on collaborating with other stakeholders—including authors, publishers, libraries, students, funders, policymakers and the public—to build on the opportunities created by the Internet, promoting changes to both infrastructure and culture needed to make open the default for research and education.
The key to SPARC’s success is the commitment of our members to support and shape our initiatives. Our 200+ members are primarily academic and research libraries located in the U.S. and Canada, who use the resources and support provided by SPARC to actively promote Open Access to scholarly articles, the open sharing of research data, and the creation and adoption of Open Educational Resources on their campuses.
Research provides the foundation of modern society. Research leads to breakthroughs, and communicating the results of research is what allows us to turn breakthroughs into better lives—to provide new treatments for disease, to implement solutions for challenges like global warming, and to build entire industries around what were once just ideas.
However, our current system for communicating research is crippled by a centuries old model that hasn’t been updated to take advantage of 21st century technology:
1. Governments provide most of the funding for research—hundreds of billions of dollars annually—and public institutions employ a large portion of all researchers.
2. Researchers publish their findings without the expectation of compensation. Unlike other authors, they hand their work over to publishers without payment, in the interest of advancing human knowledge.
3. Through the process of peer review, researchers review each other’s work for free.
4. Once published, those that contributed to the research (from taxpayers to the institutions that supported the research itself) have to pay again to access the findings. Though research is produced as a public good, it isn’t available to the public who paid for it.
Our current system for communicating research uses a print-based model in the digital age. Even though research is largely produced with public dollars by researchers who share it freely, the results are hidden behind technical, legal, and financial barriers. These artificial barriers are maintained by legacy publishers and restrict access to a small fraction of users, locking out most of the world’s population and preventing the use of new research techniques.
This fundamental mismatch between what is possible with digital technology—an open system for communicating research results in which anyone, anywhere can contribute—and our outdated publishing system has led to the call for Open Access.
Open Access is the free, immediate, online availability of research articles combined with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment. Open Access is the needed modern update for the communication of research that fully utilizes the Internet for what it was originally built to do—accelerate research.

Why Open Access Matters
Most publishers own the rights to the articles in their journals. Anyone who wants to read the articles must pay to access them. Anyone who wants to use the articles in any way must obtain permission from the publisher and is often required to pay an additional fee.
Although many researchers can access the journals they need via their institution and think that access is free, in reality it is not. The institution has often been involved in lengthy negotiations around the price of their site license and reuse of this content is limited.
Paying for access to journals makes sense in the world of print publishing, where providing articles to each reader requires the production of physical copies of articles, but in the online world, with distribution as wide as the internet's reach, it makes much less sense.
How It Works at PLOS
PLOS applies the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license to works we publish. This license was developed to facilitate Open Access—namely, free immediate access to, and unrestricted reuse of, original works of all types. Under this license, authors agree to make articles legally available for reuse, without permission or fees, for virtually any purpose. Anyone may copy, distribute or reuse these articles, as long as the author and original source are properly cited. Additionally, the journal platform that PLOS uses to publish research articles is Open Source.
