This paper reports an experimental investigation into the desulfurization of a spent tire pyrolysis oil and its distillate using combined catalytic oxidative selective adsorption method. The (ODS) experiments were carried out in batch reactor H2O2-formic acid as oxidant. effect reaction temperature, time, to ratio on percentage sulfur removal was studied. samples after ODS treated Al2O3 adsorbent at 25 °C atmospheric pressure. analyzed inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry...
Gut-associated microbial communities are known to play a vital role in the health and fitness of their hosts. Though studies investigating factors associated with among-individual variation microbiome structure wild animal species increasing, knowledge this at individual level is scarce, despite clear link between nutritional status uncovered humans model organisms. Here, we combine detailed observational data on life history foraging preference 16S rRNA profiling faecal investigate...
The volume of Cenozoic volcanism in eastern Australia has been estimated previously from the outcrop extent basalts, but drill holes have subsequently revealed subsurface volcanic flows with a cumulative thickness up to 60 m. magnitude magmatism is therefore greater than thought, necessitating re-evaluation basalt distribution and estimates eruptive volumes. Drill-hole data were collected across Bowen Basin compile regional isopach map. This large dataset comprising ∼150 000 drill-hole logs...
Details of the Late Cretaceous–Cenozoic migration Australian continent have been sources contention since 1960s. Two types apparent polar wander paths (APWPs) emerged from previous paleomagnetic studies: one group based on sedimentary and lateritic data that includes relatively linear northward motion Australia away Antarctica, a second group, basaltic data, significant longitudinal movement continent. This study compares evolution plate over past 100 m.y. using these two competing paths....
The heterolinker zeolitic imidazolate framework, ZIF-60 (Zn(Im)1.5(mIm)0.5), and its previously unreported analogues with formulas ranging between Zn(Im)1.79(4)(mIm)0.21(4) Zn(Im)1.93(1)(mIm)0.07(1) (where Im is mIm 2-methylimidazolate) have been synthesized, their structural response to guest exchange high pressure probed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Guest prompts phase transitions large-pore (I4/mmm) intermediate narrow-pore phases (P42/nmc), where the degree of contraction depends...
This paper reports an experimental investigation into catalytic hydrodesulfurization of a spent tire pyrolysis oil distillate over Ni–Mo catalyst. The desulfurization efficacy the catalyst was evaluated range reaction times (1–36 h), temperatures (300–375 °C), pressures (1–4 MPa), H2 concentrations (16.7–33.3% v/v), and reactive gas flow rates (H2 in N2, 45–90 mL min–1). Increasing temperature, pressure, or concentration increased sulfur removal to maximum 99.9% w/w at 350 °C, 4 MPa, 45...
A new high-pressure single-crystal diffraction setup has been designed and implemented at the Australian Synchrotron for collecting molecular protein crystal structures. The incorporates a modified micro-Merrill–Bassett cell holder specifically to fit onto horizontal air-bearing goniometer, allowing measurements be collected with little no modification of beamline compared ambient data collections. Compression amino acid, L-threonine, protein, hen egg-white lysozyme, were collected,...
Three high-pressure phases of trimethylacetonitrile, a compound potential interest in the context Titan's atmospheric chemistry, have been investigated using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, periodic density functional theory, and CrystalExplorer intermolecular energy calculations. A disordered tetragonal P4/nmm phase is formed between 0.07 0.29 GPa (denoted hp-I). Compression to 0.43 forms an ordered orthorhombic Pnma (hp-II), which transforms monoclinic P21/m (hp-III) at 1.52 GPa. The...
The mechanism of new mechanofluorochromic is resolved using established and unexplored techniques, including electron diffraction fluorescence lifetime mapping. Driving factors posited include conformational flexibility partial amorphisation.
