    Abstract In the current petroleum refining scenario, many refineries end up with surplus naphtha which is either absorbed into the gasoline pool or exported at unattractive prices. Therefore, several options for naphtha valorisation are currently being explored. The usage of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) as a fuel in heating appliances, cooking equipment and automobiles is rapidly increasing. The high specific calorific value, high octane number, clean and efficient combustion of LPG distinguish it as an extremely promising fuel of the future. In the current work, tungstophosphoric acid (TPA) supported on four different mesoporous silica supports were investigated as mesoporous superacids for hydroconversion of refinery naphtha using

    Abstract Xylitol based phase selective organogelators are developed for crude oil of varying API gravity and various petroleum fractions/oils. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding was responsible for gel formation with three dimensional cross linked networks. Efficient gelation at room temperature, high mechanical strength, oil recovery and gelator reusability make these compounds promising candidates for oil spill mitigation.

    Abstract A novel amino acid based gelator compound was developed for the phase-selective gelation of hydrocarbon solvents in a biphasic mixture with water/sea water including crude oils. With the crude oils of varying API gravity ranging from 18.7 to 40.5, the organogelator exhibited an uptake capacity ranging from 50 to 100 times. Thus, a wide range of applicabilities of the gelator to contain and mitigate oil spills of any type of crude oil covering the entire crude basket around the globe is proven for the first time.

    Abstract Rhamnolipids are important glycolipids that find application in the areas of crude oil bioremediation, enhanced oil recovery, food and pharmaceutical applications. The economic feasibility of rhamnolipid production mainly depends upon the cost of the substrate. Lignocellulosic biomass is a potential substrate for the production of several microbial metabolites and can also be used for rhamnolipid production. For the utilization of sugars from lignocellulosic biomass, the polymeric carbohydrates need to be hydrolysed for releasing the fermentable sugars for rhamnolipid production. In this study, pretreatment of wheat straw was carried out using sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid and ammonia. All the pretreated substrates were subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis using cellulases, produced by Trichoderma reesei NCIM 1186. Maximum reducing sugar yield (509.33 mg g−1 dry pretreated substrate) was obtained in the case of biomass treated with 0.2% sulphuric acid at 150 °C for 15 min which was further used for rhamnolipid production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCIM 2036. The highest rhamnolipid production of 9.38 g L−1 was obtained in sugar hydrolysate (mainly containing cellobiose) supplemented with MgSO4, Na2HPO4, FeSO4 and NaNO3. The production of rhamnolipid by P. aeruginosa NCIM 2036 using pure cellobiose as the sole carbon source was demonstrated. The current study showed that lignocellulosic biomass can be used as an alternative cost-effective substrate for rhamnolipid production.

    Abstract Tetrapropylammonium (TPA)-containing precursors are the building blocks in the crystallization of silica. In the first steps slab-shaped silicalite nanoparticles are formed by ordered combination of the precursors. These nanoslabs have MFI-type zeolite framework topology and play a key role in TPA-ion-mediated zeolite crystallization from monomeric and polymeric silica sources.
