Attempts to induce liver tumors with the car cinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have generally failed (9). However, certain of these hydrocarbons have a marked effect on hepatic carcinogenesis induced by other agents. Thus, Richardson et al. (32) observed that 3-methylcholanthrene1 (MC), administered at a low level to rats also receiving the strong hepatocarcinogen 3'-methyl-4-dimethyla...

A multiyear, on-road emission measurement program carried out in the cities of Chicago, Illinois; Denver, Colorado; Los Angeles (LA), California; and Phoenix, Arizona shows large, fuel-specific tailpipe emissions reductions at all of the sites for carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitric oxide (NO). CO emissions decreased between 56% (Denver) and 71% (Chicago), HC emissions decrease ...

Tertiary coals exposed in the north-central part of onshore Sarawak are evaluated, and their depositional environments are interpreted. Total organic carbon contents (TOC) of the coals range from 58.1 to 80.9 wt. % and yield hydrogen index values ranging from 282 to 510 mg HC/g TOC with low oxygen index values, consistent with Type II and mixed Type II–III kerogens. The coal samples have vitrin...

A total of 183 core and cutting samples from seven exploratory wells were selected to be analyzed by Rock-Eval pyrolysis. These cores have been drilled through the Lam and Meem Members of the Madbi Formation and contain the major source rocks of Yemen´s sedimentary basins. Contents of total organic carbon were measured and Rock-Eval pyrolysis was performed to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential ...

Several countries have set ambitious targets for the transport sector that mandate a gradual increase in advanced biofuel content coming years. The current work addresses this transition and indicates two promising gasoline bio-blendstocks: Anisole isobutanol. whole value chains of these bio-components were considered, focusing on end-use performance, but also analyzing feedstock its conversion...

The hydrocarbon-selective catalytic reduction (HC-SCR) activity of an Ag/Al2O3 catalyst was investigated. The function on catalytic NOx reduction of different fuel properties using alternative reactants such as gas-to-liquid (GTL) and butanol was studied. This work proves that such improvements are due to the high reactivity, polarity and diffusivity of butanol within the catalyst enhancing NOx...
