“…The presence of Sulphur compounds in fuel should be reduced because of their high toxicity. The presence of Sulphur compounds in fuel causes air pollution and lung disease (Aghaei & Sobati, 2022). One of the most important problems in the oil industry is the presence of sulphur and sulphur compounds in crude oil.…”

Estimating the concentration of sulphur compounds in crude oil and its products such as gasoline and kerosene is necessary because of environmental legislation and determinants developed by government organizations regulating sulphur levels in oil and its derivatives. Sulphur compounds found in crude oil and its products are a major problem, causing many environmental and health risks as a result of the use of gasoline as fuel for cars and kerosene as fuel for household heaters, resulting in the emission of these compounds in the form of oxides, affecting the environment and health. This study was conducted to estimate the concentration of sulphur compounds in crude oil and distillation products represented by gasoline and kerosene and to show how different the concentration of sulphur compounds in crude oil is than in gasoline and kerosene. In this study, gas chromatography technology was used. This method applies to distillation products, gasoline fuel, kerosene and other petroleum liquids. This study was conducted in basra oil company's quality control laboratories to estimate the concentration of sulphur compounds in crude oil, gasoline and kerosene.

“…[45] Exposure of these solvents to the environment may cause severe problems for aquatic life and public health, and applying them in the fabrication of conventional membranes contradicts the environmental aspects of water and wastewater treatment. [71,72] On the other hand, the fabrication of 3D-printed membranes is a solvent-free process, which could also donate special features to the membranes with the minimal use of modifying chemical additives. The possibility of designing membranes with minimal use of added chemicals and recycling the 3Dprinted materials for the successive cycles shows the high potential of 3D-printed membranes in water and wastewater treatment plants.…”

The implications of 3D‐printed membranes for water and wastewater treatment and resource recovery

It is widely acknowledged that three-dimensional (3D) printing or additive manufacturing will revolutionize many industries. However, the broad implications of 3D printing on water treatment membranes are not appreciated. 3D printing will transform the traditional membrane fabrication methods, reducing costs and industrial waste from manufacturing processes, with substantial benefits to treatment performance. In particular, 3D printing provides a high potential for radical decentralization. Remote communities, hospitality resorts, military bases, and oil and gas extraction operations could significantly benefit from the on-site fabrication of membrane units tunable to their specific wastewater challenges. Acute drinking water contamination events, like those associated with toxic by-products from algal blooms, chemical spills, forest fires, and extreme weather, cause adverse health effects on humans and shutdowns of piped water supply. 3D printing of customized membranes provides an opportunity for a fast response to such disastrous events. These membranes could be ready for installation within hours, with the vendor's role more akin to a software company installing a patch than the traditional approach, with major considerations for hardware availability, timeline, and supply chain. Despite these clear and potentially transformative advantages, 3D printing of membranes is not a panacea; countless aspects need to be taken into consideration for the successful implementation of this emerging technology. The full deployment of 3D-printed membranes in water and wastewater treatment can be achieved by extending the variety of printable materials, improving the speed and resolution of printing, creating nanoscale pores, reducing the fabrication costs, and improving the mechanical properties of the resulting membranes.

“…Compared with the industrially used base-catalyzed transesterification for synthesizing biodiesel in the form of fatty acid methyl esters, hydrogenolysis has the advantages of (i) yielding high-quality hydrocarbon fuels, which are currently produced from crude oil, and (ii) not requiring the removal of free carboxylic acids, which are otherwise detrimental to the transesterification process owing to foam formation (Figure a) . Plant-oil-derived hydrocarbon fuels are superior to those produced from crude oil because desulfurization is not necessary …”

Multifunctional WO₃–ZrO₂-Supported Platinum Catalyst for Remarkably Efficient Hydrogenolysis of Esters to Alkanes

The hydrogenolysis of esters to alkanes is a key protocol for the synthesis of high-quality hydrocarbon fuels from renewable plant oils or fats. However, performing this process under mild energy-efficient conditions is challenging. Herein, we report a robust tungsten-and zirconium-oxide-supported platinum catalyst (Pt/WO 3 −ZrO 2 ) for the hydrogenolysis of esters to alkanes at low temperatures (as low as 70 °C) and under ambient pressure (1 atm) of H 2 . For example, tristearin undergoes a complete conversion at 130 °C with more than 95% selectivity for the corresponding alkanes without carbon loss. In addition, the heterogeneous nature of the catalyst system reported herein permits multiple reuse of the catalyst without any significant loss of its high activity and selectivity. Mechanistic studies suggest that the multifunctional nature (acid and redox properties) of the WO 3 −ZrO 2 support plays an important role in the high activity of the catalyst.
