Autocatalysis from the by-product metal sulfides plays a critical role in the residual oil hydrotreating (RHT) process. However, it has not been considered to build the catalyst deactivation models, which probably is one important reason that the widely used S-type deactivation models are inaccurate in predicting some RHT processes' deactivation profiles. A three-stage catalyst deactivation model was first developed to fill this gap based on the mechanism inferred from the experimental and literature data. This model accounts for active site formation from by-product metal sulfides, deactivation due to active site coverage by coke formation and metal deposition, active site poisoning by highly-adsorbed species, active phase sintering, and diffusion resistance from the pore blockage at the same time, resulting in a function of dimensionless metals-on-catalyst. Then, the effectiveness of the proposed model was evaluated using the industrial data of an RHT unit and the experimental data from the literature, either in combination with reaction kinetics or independently. Results showed that RHT processes with clear autocatalytic effects may display different types of deactivation profiles from the traditional "S" shape. However, the proposed model was able to accurately track the entire deactivation curve of the RHT process and well predict the product properties. This approach yields valuable insights into the intricate autocatalytic effect that remarkably contributes to the performance modification of RHT catalysts. It is highly recommended that further research should be conducted on this topic, as it shows great potential to significantly advance catalyst and process development.
With the increasing demand for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electric vehicles and portable electronic devices, rapid charging and long cycle life have become primary focuses in LIBs research. However, the poor rate performance of graphite anode materials and the suboptimal lithium-ion transport rate have constrained the development of LIBs. Herein, we synthesize a graphite anode material with a dual-layer coating structure of hard carbon (HC) and soft carbon (C) (G@HC@C) using a straightforward pre-oxidation and carbonization method. The hard carbon layer is formed by high-temperature carbonization of pre-oxidized pitch, characterized by an expanded interlayer spacing that facilitates rapid lithium-ion insertion and enhances capacity. The soft carbon outer layer helps to mitigate volume expansion during charge-discharge cycles and prevents direct contact between the graphite and the electrolyte, thereby enhancing electrode stability. The G@HC@C electrode exhibits excellent rate performance (119.5 mAh g-1 at 3 C) and maintains a cycle stability of 219.7 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 1 C. This work offers new insights and methods for modifying graphite anode materials in fast-charging LIBs.
A comprehensive insight into the evolution and molecular structure of basic and neutral nitrogen compounds during the residue hydrotreating(RHT) process was gained through ESI(+)/ESI(-) FT-ICR MS analysis of the feedstock and its hydrogenated samples, with hydrodenitrogenation(HDN) ratios of 15.9%-70.1%. This study revealed that carbazoles, characterized by a double bond equivalent(DBE) of 9-11,were the refractory neutral nitrogen compounds during the RHT process. Their recalcitrant nature was primarily due to their low aromaticity and high steric hindrance. Conversely, quinolines(DBEs 7 to 9)were the most abundant basic nitrogen compounds. Through a meticulous analysis of DBE evolution, we revealed the intricate reaction mechanisms of benzocarbazoles and dibenzocarbazoles in residual oil,highlighting the crucial role of quinolines as key intermediates in eliminating these compounds. Interestingly, nitrogen compounds with either low or high carbon numbers(for a given DBE) exhibited higher reactivity than those with medium carbon numbers, which can be attributed to the low steric hindrance resulting from short alkyl chains and more naphthenic-aromatic structures, respectively. After hydrotreatment, the molecular structures of the most refractory or abundant nitrogen compounds could consist of two main types: those with multiple naphthenic-aromatic rings and those with long side chains near the nitrogen atom. This research has revealed nitrogen compounds' evolutionary mechanisms and refractory nature, and the molecular structure of the most resistant or abundant basic and neutral nitrogen compounds, providing a deeper understanding of the HDN process and ultimately paving the way for the rational RHT catalyst design and process development.

The strategy of adding tetralin as a H-donor in the thermal processing of heavy oil was investigated by exper-imental characterization and theoretical calculations. According to the experiments, the timing of adding 1 wt% of tetralin has a great influence on the visbreaking performance of heavy oil. Calculations based on density functional theory showed that benzyl radicals released from the thermal cracking of tetralin accelerate the dealkylation that determines the heavy oil upgrading. Meanwhile, H alpha provided by tetralin is able to selectively saturate aromatic C radicals which are essential for condensation. Compared with the conventional H-donor addition, i.e., pre-mixing of tetralin with heavy oil, a similar viscosity reduction rate of about 98% can be ob-tained during the visbreaking with delayed tetralin addition. Furthermore, the addition of tetralin before the significant occurrence of condensation further increases the conversion of vacuum residue fraction by 3.4% and reduces the asphaltene content of the product by 2.6 wt%.

In this paper, hydrogenation of CH to CH2 (HDCH reaction) was employed to simulate the hydrogen consumption during residue hydrotreating, because the pseudo components, CH and CH2, can be converted with the content of C and H. Through a pilot-scale experiment, a kinetic model for the HDCH reaction was constructed and it has high accuracy. By analyzing the running data of an industrial-residue hydrotreating unit, the activity change of the HDCH reaction was obtained using the active-region-migration deactivation model. The obtained HDCH activity model has high accuracy, where the frequencies of >10% relative errors are less than 1% for the CH and H contents. The hydrogen consumption model, the coupling of the HDCH kinetic model and the HDCH deactivation model, can be applied to calculate the hydrogen consumption. For case 2, where the hydrogen consumption model is adjusted every 100 days, the calculated data well match the real data compared to case 1, where the hydrogen consumption model is unadjusted over the whole runtime.
A deep insight into the molecular structure of the refractory sulfur compounds during residue hydrotreating process was realized by controlling the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) rate from 91.7% to 99.2%. The reactivity and the molecular-level evolution of the sulfur compounds were characterized by APPI FT-ICR MS and CID FT-ICR MS combined with HDS kinetic analysis. It was found that during deep RHT process, the increased reactivity order of sulfur families is mainly determined by the increased order of aromaticity and the decreased order of alkyl-substituted carbon number. Furthermore, the most refractory sulfur compounds have dominate double bond equivalent (DBE) of 10–12, followed by 9, and carbon number range of 36–38, and their skeleton typically include 2–3 aromatic rings and 0–1 naphthenic/cyclohexene ring, whose substitution positions near the sulfur atom may possibly be occupied by alkyl side chains with carbon number 4–9. This work reveals the reactivity order of individual sulfur compounds and its key influencing factors, and especially the molecular structure of the most refractory sulfur compounds, which may provide a deep understanding about the sulfur evolution.

The molecular structure of sulfur compounds in residual oils and their desulfurization reactivity during residue hydmprocessing (RHT) process were investigated by virtue of the self-established semiquantitative APPI FT-ICT MS combined with the kinetic analysis of the hydrodesulfurization of individual sulfur compounds. In order to increase the characterization accuracy and gain more structure details on the sulfur compounds, a prior SARA separation scheme of residual oils into clearly-defined fractions was performed. Results show that S1, 52, 53, and N1S1 class were the dominated species in the residual oil feedstock. During RHT process, the S1 class species were identified as the key refractory sulfur compounds, while 52 and 53 class species were identified as the easily-removed sulfur compounds. The molecular structure change of S1 class species during RHT process was marked by a drastic increase in the aromaticity and polycondensation, indicating that S1 class species with less-aromatic cores exhibited higher reactivity. Moreover, a novel DBE-based lumping kinetics approach containing 6 sulfur groups of S1 class compounds was developed to investigate the desulfurization reactivity of individual sulfur compounds. The results revealed that the reactivity of sulfur compounds depends on their structure, and different molecular structure brings distinctly different reactivity. The reactivity difference between the individual sulfur compounds in residual oils is considerably smaller than that in other petroleum fractions with lower boiling points, such as VGO, diesel. This research provides a deep insight into complex desulfurization chemistry during RHT process.
To achieve high-efficiency viscosity reduction in a mild hydrothermal environment, the visbreaking of heavy oil in a mixed solvent of subcritical water (sub-CW) and light aromatics was investigated. By solubilizing sub-CW in heavy oil, the dealkylation involved in visbreaking follows not only a free radical mechanism but also an ionic mechanism. The further introduction of light cycle oil rich in light aromatics but containing olefin groups has a complicated influence on visbreaking. Because of the presence of olefin groups, the viscosity reduction efficiency is initially reduced. In addition, the condensation to asphaltenes is promoted in the late visbreaking stage. However, these adverse effects are offset by the promotion of the solubilization of sub-CW in heavy oil by light aromatics. With enhanced dealkylation in both free radical and ionic mechanisms, a viscosity reduction rate of over 90% and reduced asphaltene formation can be obtained in the middle stage of visbreaking.
Molecular-level structures and distribution of refractory polycyclic aromatic sulfur heterocycles (PASHs) during residue hydrotreating process (RHT) are investigated. A prior atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) FT-ICR MS was used to obtain the distribution of refractory PASHs. Then the key refractory PASHs were further dissociated by collision-induced dissociation (CID) to identify the isomers and gain their fragment ions. During deep hydrodesulfurization (HDS), S1 class compounds detected in the RHT products was identified as the major refractory sulfur compounds. Moreover, an increase in the aromatic structure of S1 class species is present during RHT. The key refractory PASHs are these with DBE = 9-12, which also determine HDS depth during RHT process. From the CID experiments, as indicated by an increase of abundance of fragmentation of alkyl(C1-C4)-substituted DBT, alkyl(C2)-substituted DBT in particular, these key refractory PASHs have a structure of alkyl (C2)-substituted DBT, such as 4,6-DMDBT. In addition, the molecular chemical formula and molecular struc-ture for these key refractory PASHs were proposed, shedding a light on the development of industrial HDS catalysts and optimization of RHT process

This article reports a new catalyst deactivation model for residue hydrotreating technology (RHT) with three adjustable parameters, named as "active-region-migration model". The active-region-migration model is proposed to describe the catalyst deactivation of RHT where the catalysts are deactivated due to metal loading. Along with the lumped reaction kinetics, the deactivation model can be applied to simulate the hydrogenation reaction performance in RHT. Industrial data from a commercial RHT unit show reasonably good agreements with the model calculations. Essentially, the active-region-migration model can separately simulate the catalytic-activity-change of each hydrogenation reaction during the whole run of RHT, with a single curve.
