[PMID: 39067778 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2024.108418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 07/13/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
In response to address the climate crisis, there has been a growing focus on substituting conventional refinery-derived products with those derived from biorefineries. The utilization of lipids as primary materials or intermediates for the synthesis of chemicals and fuels, which are integral to the existing chemical and petrochemical industries, is a key step in this transition. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the production of sustainable chemicals (acids and alcohols), biopolymers, and fuels (including gasoline, kerosene, biodiesel, and heavy fuel oil) from lipids derived from terrestrial and algal biomass. The production of chemicals from lipids involves diverse methods, including polymerization, epoxidation, and separation/purification. Additionally, the transformation of lipids into biofuels can be achieved through processes such as catalytic cracking, hydroprocessing, and transesterification. This review also suggests future research directions that further advance the lipid valorization processes, including enhancement of catalyst durability at harsh conditions, development of deoxygenation process with low H2 consumption, investigation of precise separation of target compounds, increase in lipid accumulation in algal biomass, and development of methods that utilize residues and byproducts generated during lipid extraction and conversion.

Extraction of Lanthanum Oxide from Different Spent Fluid Catalytic Cracking Catalysts by Nitric Acid Leaching and Cyanex 923 Solvent Extraction Methods. METALS 2022.

Abstract
A laboratory-scale procedure was developed to obtain lanthanum oxide from spent fluid catalytic cracking catalyst, commonly used in the heavy crude oil cracking process. Two different solids, consisting mainly of silica, alumina, and a certain amount of rare earth elements, were leached under several conditions to recover the rare earths. Nitric acid leaching lead to the highest recovery of lanthanum, reaching a recovery percentage greater than 95% when a 1.5 M concentration was used. Subsequently, liquid phases were subjected to a liquid–liquid extraction process using Cyanex 923 diluted in Solvesso 100, and the lanthanum was quantitatively extracted. Lanthanum was also quantitatively stripped using oxalic acid to obtain the corresponding lanthanum oxalates, as revealed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) techniques. After thermal treatment at 1200 °C for 2 h, these solids yielded lanthanum oxide.

Abstract
In the formulation of zeolite-based catalysts for the direct cracking of crude, the use of kaolin matrixes prevents, to a large extent, zeolite dealumination. Metals and other impurities in crude oil provoke a slight decrease in activity and selectivity patterns.

Abstract
Crude oil upgrading under methane has been reported to be an economically and environmentally promising process, while the advantageous effect of methane beyond a reactant is not fully explained. In this work, the catalytic performances, physicochemical properties and regenerability of used catalysts after crude oil upgrading under methane and nitrogen are investigated by n-butylbenzene model compound studies, catalyst characterizations and density functional theory calculations. Comparing to nitrogen, methane exhibits a protective effect on the charged catalyst despite the limited conversion, leading to better product quality and catalyst stability. This protective effect is attributed to the interaction between methane and catalytic active sites, which mainly occurs in the internal pores of the zeolitic catalyst support, resulting in unique coke distribution and inhibition of metal deposition. The interactive role of methane beyond a reactant, which is previously underestimated, is suggested to be critical for better performances of catalysts in relevant reaction processes.
