	abstract = {The abundance of natural gas reserves can facilitate the transition from fossil derived to fully renewable chemical and fuel generation. Natural gas, however, can contain more than 10\% sour gas molecules (chiefly CO2 and H2S), especially in the Middle East and Russia. Currently, the most common sour natural gas separation technologies rely on the use of various amine-based absorption-desorption cycles in absorption towers, membrane separation and cryogenic processes. However, these processes are quite expensive and, unfortunately, result in the necessity for further processing of the sour gas stream. We feel that the implementation of catalytic activation of the sour gas stream, so as to form useful products, has been underexplored and thus has yet to be fully developed. In this paper, we present a series of catalytic reactions for the sour gas components so as to obtain useful chemicals or fuels, such as carbon disulfide (CS2), hydrogen (H2), ethylene (C2H4), ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4) and ammonium thiosulfate ((NH4)2S2O3). Particular catalytic reactions which can form those products are (a) CH4 reforming with H2S on supported metal oxide catalysts, (b) CO2 + H2S + H2 catalytic reaction on K2O/WO3/Al2O3 to yield a CH3SH intermediate, (c) olefin production via CH3SH coupling on zeolites and supported metal oxides and (d) H2S + NH3 catalytic reaction to yield ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4) and ammonium thiosulfate ((NH4)2S2O3) on partial oxidation catalysts. Thermodynamic considerations, together with catalyst design techniques, are discussed for each reaction.},

XRD data indicated complex compns. of the mineral additives DAP and KCl, while OGF and OMF exhibited amorphous backgrounds with small peaks due to the common Earth crust minerals (Si, Mg, Zn, Ca).  Addn. of DAP generated several new chem. compds., while KCl did not react.  Thermogravimetric anal. indirectly showed mineral-mineral interactions at high temps., as can be inferred from their 478 {\textdegree}C peak shift.  Spatially resolved SEM-EDS anal. showed a particularly interesting colocalization of potassium, sulfur, and phosphorus within the OMF, suggesting a reactive salt interaction between DAP and minerals inherently present in OGF.  FTIR anal., on the other hand, did not show significant involvement of org. moieties with the interactions of mineral additives, suggesting org. compds. act mostly as inert support for DAP and KCl.  Collectively, these data suggest a complex nature of the OGF and OMF at the mol. and cryst. levels, which improves our understanding of these complex systems with direct relevance to sustainable nutrient management.

	abstract = {Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and is obtained as a waste via burning various forms of fuels.  Syngas is an intermediate in large-scale long-chain hydrocarbon (C10-C20 alkanes and alcs.) prodn. processes via Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis, typically to obtain high quality fuels.  Thus, it is of particular interest to engineer syngas prodn. processes for FT that can consume various combustion process waste CO2 in the process and thus partially contribute to the sustainable carbon neutral fuel synthesis.  In this work, a quant. economic comparison of five alternative processes is presented for the prodn. of synthesis gas with a hydrogen-to-carbon monoxide ratio of 2, which is suitable for feeding to the Fischer-Tropsch gas-to-liq. process.  Combinations of steam methane reforming (SMR), dry methane reforming (DMR), autothermal reforming (ATR) and reverse water gas shift (RWGS) are explored.  An amine absorber/stripper system is used for carbon dioxide removal.  The effects of the cost of natural gas and of liq. oxygen and the magnitude of a potential carbon tax are demonstrated.  With current prices of raw materials, the configuration with the lowest total annual cost (TAC) features a system composed of both SMR and DMR reactors. [on SciFinder(R)]},

No chalcogenides were obsd. on the sample surface during XPS anal. after Ag exchange due to the desorption of CdS and CdSe layers, not diffused into the bulk of the polymer suggesting that silver chalcogenides were located subsurface, as opposed to the outermost layer, likely comprised of Ag2O.
