Abstract
|
Describes fabrication of five morphologically
different nanostructured molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) samples: nanoparticles,
nanorods, nanoplatelets, nanoflowers and porous. Heavy oil upgrading was
conducted in the presence of these nanostructures of molybdenum disulfide as
catalysts. Researchers compared results of catalytic and non-catalytic
hydro-processing.
They found that catalytic hydro-processing, thanks to lower sulfur content, resulted in a more efficient and environmentally friendly procedure, as compared to non-catalytic hydro-processing. |
