Deskripsi

Crude oil upgrading under a methane environment can lead to improved oil quality as well as catalyst stability, but the role of methane in the reaction remains poorly understood. Here, the authors show that methane prevents coke formation inside the pores of the charged catalyst due to preferable adsorption.
