Abstract: Ceramic monolith compositions are provided with improved stability under reaction conditions involving elevated temperatures. Such monoliths can be used, for example, in reverse flow reactors under high temperature reforming conditions, where the interior components of the reaction zone can be exposed to average temperatures of 1000° C. or higher while also being exposed to rapid oscillations in temperature of 100° C. or more in the presence of alternating oxidizing and reducing chemistries. The ceramic monolith compositions can be composed of materials that have improved ability to withstand conditions in severe reaction environments. Additionally or alternately, the ceramic monolith compositions can have structural features that reduce or minimize the tendency for the monolith to suffer structural failure under the conditions in severe reaction environments.

Abstract: Velocity tomography using time lags of wave equation migration is disclosed. Seismic tomography is a technique for imaging the subsurface of the Earth with seismic waves by generated a migration velocity model from a multitude of observations using combinations of source and receiver locations. The migration velocity model may be updated in order to reduce depth differences of reflection events (also called residual depth errors (RDE)). Direct measurement of RDE may be difficult in certain complex subsurface areas. In such areas, the RDE may be reconstructed based on time lags of wave equation migration and then used to update the migration velocity model. In particular, the RDE may be directly reconstructed from the time lags of wave equation migration, such as based on a direct relation between RDE and the time lags.

Abstract: Catalyst systems are provided for reforming of hydrocarbons, along with methods for using such catalyst systems. The catalyst systems can be deposited or otherwise coated on a surface or structure, such as a monolith, to achieve improved activity and/or structural stability. The metal oxide support layer can correspond to a thermally stable metal oxide support layer, such as a metal oxide support layer that is thermally phase stable at temperatures of 800° C. to 1600° C. The catalyst systems can be beneficial for use in cyclical reaction environments, such as reverse flow reactors or other types of reactors that are operated using flows in opposing directions and different times within a reaction cycle.

Abstract: Ranking materials for post combustion carbon capture by characterizing sorbent materials with a molecular model workflow that generates microscopic figures of merit for materials by microscopic properties; and evaluating the materials from the molecular model workflow with a process model workflow that generates macroscopic figures of merit for process steps of a carbon recovery process. The materials for applicability as a sorbent material are ranked using a combined microscopic performance and macroscopic process feasibility generator that ranks the materials according to the microscopic figures of merit for materials and the macroscopic figures of merit for the process steps.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for integrating direct air capture of carbon dioxide with capture of carbon dioxide from a point source. The systems and methods can include exposing an adsorbent to a low CO2 content gas flow (e.g., air) at conditions similar to ambient conditions to perform an initial amount of sorption of CO2. The initial sorption results in a partially loaded sorbent having a first sorbent loading. The partially loaded sorbent can then be exposed to a flue gas and/or other gas flow that contains a higher CO2 content. This allows a second sorption step to be performed using a higher CO2 content gas, resulting in an additionally loaded sorbent having a second (higher) sorbent loading. The sorbed CO2 can then be desorbed from the sorbent.

Abstract: Methods for identifying hydrocarbon contamination sources may include fingerprinting hydrocarbons using isotopocule analyses for BTEX compounds. For example, methods for identifying hydrocarbon contamination sources may comprise: extracting BTEX compounds from a sample; measuring the isotopocule composition of the BTEX compounds; and determining a characteristic of the sample based on the isotopocule composition. Such characteristics may include, but are not limited to, the characteristic of the sample comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of: a source of the sample, a condition at which the sample formed or was last equilibrated, a migration time from a source to a sample location, weathering of the sample, and degree to which the sample is anthropogenic and naturally-occurring.

Abstract: A slurry including a density-tunable heavy fracturing fluid and a method for completing a hydrocarbon well using such a slurry are provided herein. The slurry includes a proppant and the density-tunable heavy fracturing fluid, where the density-tunable heavy fracturing fluid includes a pseudo heavy fluid suspension, a concentrated aqueous solution of a soluble heavy compound, and/or a high-density organic solution. The density of the density-tunable heavy fracturing fluid is between 1.25 grams/milliliter (g/ml) and 3.4 g/ml. Moreover, the density of the density-tunable heavy fracturing fluid is selected based on the density of the proppant. According to the method provided herein, the slurry is used to provide for more effective placement of the proppant within the fractures than can be achieved using only a slurry including conventional fracturing fluid and the proppant.
