    Abstract: Provided herein are post-synthesis methods of thermally stabilizing a metal-organic framework having defects that decomposes after about 12 hours at a first temperature. The methods include contacting the metal-organic framework with a stabilizing solution to provide a treated metal-organic framework. The treated metal-organic framework is thermally stable after 12 hours at a second temperature at least about 50° C. greater than the first temperature. Also, the treated metal-organic framework has a PXRD pattern that is substantially the same as the PXRD pattern of the untreated metal-organic framework. Provided herein are also post-synthesis methods to improve CO2 adsorption of metal-organic frameworks. Provided herein are also modified EMM-71 metal-organic frameworks.

    Abstract: A methodology for estimating stresses in the subsurface for the generation of a three dimensional (3D) mechanical earth model is provided. The method is executed via a processor of a computing system. The method includes generating a synthetic principal horizontal stress profile representative of a one-dimensional mechanical earth model (1D MEM) based on simplification that all formations are elastically isotropic. The method also includes combining the isotropically generated synthetic principal horizontal stress profile with an additional data-driven functional relationship for anisotropic formations to generate a global predictive conditional relationship based on a lithology dependent cutoff. The method also further includes generating a three-dimensional volume-based mechanical earth model using the global predictive conditional relationship.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for co-processing a hydrocarbon feed in an FCC system with a second feed of a biomass-derived pyrolysis oil and a third feed of a plastic-derived pyrolysis oil and/or lubricant. A method of co-processing fluid catalytic cracking feeds, includes: introducing a hydrocarbon feed to a fluid catalytic cracking reactor, wherein the hydrocarbon feed comprises hydrocarbons; introducing a biomass feed to the fluid catalytic cracking reactor wherein the biomass feed comprises a biomass-derived pyrolysis oil; introducing a waste feed to the fluid catalytic cracking reactor, wherein the waste feed comprises a plastic, a plastic-derived pyrolysis oil, a lubricant, or a combination thereof; and reacting at least the hydrocarbon feed, the biomass feed, and the waste feed in the presence of one or more fluid catalytic cracking catalysts in the fluid catalytic cracking reactor to produce cracked products.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for separation of particles and/or asphaltenes from heavy hydrocarbon fractions. The heavy hydrocarbon fraction can correspond to a feed including particles or a processing effluent that includes particles. If the heavy hydrocarbon fraction is mixed with lower boiling fractions, a separation can be performed to reduce or minimize the amount of hydrocarbons that are present in the heavy hydrocarbon fraction. The heavy hydrocarbon fraction can then be mixed with a sufficient amount of a separation solvent to cause a phase separation. One phase can correspond to the separation solvent plus a portion of the hydrocarbons. The other phase can correspond to hydrocarbons rejected by the separation solvent plus the particles from the heavy hydrocarbon fraction. The phases can then be separated from each other using a solids-liquid centrifugal separator.
