might have better luck on ebay?
i think you are on to something...maybe you're right...not much we can do until the end of the year when we all get to write SSTP off as a capital loss. GL
SSTP looks to be shaping up nicely
In what way? There was the demotion to the gray sheets and then revocation. what's nice about that?
SSTP looks to be shaping up nicely and getting ready for the big move IMO! Hang in there as many of us believe something will happen at the end of year. Can't really sell our shares anyways; why not take the tax write off and be ahead of so many! :D
Thanks for that info
BH, just curious...when did you start following this tech?
Hey Vonitsa,
If you're serious about selling some SSTP shares, I'll buy some...
how many and what price?
Happy Birthday MG!! :)
Looking forward to a BRIGHT future with many years of celebration to come!!
Kenmitz,
If you are feeling optimistic...... then I’m starting to feel optimistic!! Lord knows you were never a big cheerleader of the past leader of this company.
I hope someday soon all current shareholders of this company are “SMILING”!!!!!
Regards,
Snake
"Someone" recently said, "The future is unpredictable except to say that if an SSTP stockholder is smiling about their investment in the future, it will be because they have learned the true meaning of "faith". Investors, remember these words, it is a prelim to your wonderful life! Thanks BH, back but not for long...I think.
PNNL study uncovers role of water in forming impurity in bio-oil upgrading; insight into fundamentals of biofuel catalysis
21 August 2014
In working to elucidate the chemistry of hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) for the catalytic upgrading of pyrolytic bio-oil to fuel-grade products, researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have discovered that water in the conversion process helps form an impurity which, in turn, slows down key chemical reactions. Results of the study, which was reported in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, can help improve processes that produce biofuels from plants.
The study examines the conversion of bio-oil, produced from biomass such as wood chips or grasses, into transportation fuels. Researchers used density functional theory (DFT)-based ab initio molecular dynamics calculations to provide a detailed atomic-level understanding of how the hydrogenation reactions are influenced by the presence of water and also by the nature of the hydrogenating metal. The results of the study apply not only to water but to related liquids in bio-oil such as alcohols and certain acids.
We are getting to the heart of the fundamentals of biofuels catalysis. The work tells us that the impurity is unavoidable and we need to make sure it does not build up enough to interfere. Although this is a very fundamental issue, it points out for us what types of things we can do to help extend the lifetime of the catalysts we are using to make bio-oil.
—Roger Rousseau, co-author
Pyrolysis—thermal decomposition of large molecules by heating in the absence of oxygen at more than 500 °C—can be used to convert biomass into a more energy dense—and thus more economically transportable—liquid: bio-oil. The bio-oil liquid contains oxygenated hydrocarbon compounds resulting from the thermal breakdown of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose.
Collectively, pyrolysis oil comprises a complex mixture of acids, alcohols, aldehydes, esters, ketones, sugars, phenols, furans, and multifunctional compounds such as hydroxyacetaldehyde. The relative amounts of each compound class can vary depending on the biomass feedstock used and the operating conditions employed during pyrolysis.
In addition to not being as energy-dense as current transportation fuels, bio-oils also have stability issues. Research has shown that upgrading bio-oil to fungible hydrocarbon fuels—such as gasoline and diesel—by employing conventional petroleum refining techniques, such as hydrotreating and hydrocracking, is a promising pathway. According, the US DOE has supported a range of research on stabilizing and upgrading bio-oils (e.g., earlier post).
During the process, phenols undergo a variety of reactions and are converted into ketones. Ketones will link up with others like them and form long chains that “gunk up” the catalysts and interfere with important reactions. Researchers at PNNL wanted to discover the molecular details on how phenol converts to ketone. Ultimately, they discovered, it’s not the catalyst’s fault.
While some ideas existed for how this happens, the team used computers to simulate phenol interacting with catalysts and water to see step-by-step what is going on. To explore water’s role in the reaction, they also simulated the same reactions in a vacuum, which puts everything but the solid catalyst in vapor form. They performed these simulations using resources in EMSL, DOE’s Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory at PNNL.
In the simulations, the catalyst is essentially a piece of metal, either nickel or platinum. The phenol molecules and water molecules randomly bounce or land on the metal surface where bonds break and reform between atoms within molecules by shifting electrons around. In this way, a phenol might transform into a ketone.
The team found that the presence of water significantly upped the speed with which the final conversion to a ketone happened. In addition, water also affected how the metal catalyst carried its electrons, which in turn affected how well it catalyzed the reaction between phenol and hydrogen atoms that settle on the catalyst’s surface.
I put a note on ZEON. I didn't think this was working anymore since IHUB said it was deleted.
Glad to see it's still here.
"SSTP is not dead. It simply lost it's SEC registration."
you're the board moderator, you decide.
How is dropping 88% positive?
What would be the problem if something positive was to happen?

I thought that zeon was off-topic?

ZEON down 88% today.
LOL it can't be stopped.
Well I know it can't be stopped, and I know that I'm not puppet who's paid to post here - LOL!
Read Abraham, Ishmael, Issac.
This is how I see the two.
What did the first represent, the second?
No more less a fact than your fact "it's unstoppable"
I have to laugh at myself I just don't know why I responded to your buying ZEON it really is not my business noffing to do wiff me except I could well be in a better position to judge than some but who the heck am I eh? What do I know? Your contacts could well be right about everything you say if so I stand to make a pretty good home run by any standards but I can't see anything in my crystal ball yet. I am smiling not growling.
Best of luck "May the Power of ZEONITE go with you."
SSTP (a definite sure thing).
the only sure thing about SSTP is that it's a revoked corporation.
no idea what you're talking about.
If SSTP is a sure thing I will be up for millions I can manage with out a gamble on ZEON
I'm not attempting to move anything.
When they go I'm in a good position :)
I realize that ZEON is very high risk compared to SSTP (a definite sure thing).
"Zero chance" ... c'mon man - you're presenting an opinion as though it was fact.
Remember, if I'm wrong, I'm out a couple K ... if you're wrong you're out millions.
Do you really think that when SSTP goes if ZEON doesn't follow that I'm going to be disappointed!!?
Calculate your risk and choose wisely :)
It can't be stopped
BH I have done more DD than you can ever imagine from the launch day of USSE when I bought my 1st shares been with it through to SSTP through till today. Just be very careful a couple of K I would suggest it be left at that. You may or may not have spent that only you know it. The odds are zero in your favour on this one. Not knocking you not being negative fact there is no chance for anything with ZEON to SSTP. Just be careful thats all, it is not even a gamble believe it. Any DD you will do will not help on this move. Being a friend on this one for what it's worth.
millions and millions and millions of shares of SSTP will be in my possession.
And those are currently worth $0. congrats.
I'm not saying its a guarantee ... I'm saying its possible based on historical events related to USSE, SSTP and ZEON.
You definitely need to do some more DD (this is far from alien my friend)
If I'm wrong, I'm out a couple thousand dollars ... if I'm right, millions and millions and millions of shares of SSTP will be in my possession.
I can afford to be wrong...can you!? :)
BH I don't know where you are getting your info from it will be a zeonion miles away from reality if you believe that zeon shares will have anything to do with SSTP shares sorry buddy that is definitely an alien concept.
What FB change please
Anyone notice a recent FB change?
Things are getting more and more tight lipped :)
Success is imminent! :)
Interesting. Was the fraud and stock scam also a prerequisite?
Prerequisite....................
................................
To resurrection?
DEATH!
We'very got the power!
1M shares of a revoked corporation? Congrats.
That, and a buck-fiddy will buy you a cup of coffee in some places
spec
Thanks for the ZEON today (whomever that was)
That is potentially 1M+ shares of SSTP :)
I'll take you up on that Vonitsa.
Joker, I'll sell you 2,000,000 shares of SSTP on Monday.
Make me an offer and I'll see what I can do...
KO, got any sstp stock you want to get rid of? Ill buy!
You still have a choice with ZEON ...
Some people believe that 1 share of ZEON = 5200 shares of USSE and that when this all goes North USSE and SSTP shares will be treated as equal.
IF that's correct, do the math ... you can still better your position before the trumpet sounds! :)
Remember, you'll never make 100% of the shots you don't take! :)
Well seeing as we are sort of stuck with SSTP shares I don't actually see how "Choosing" is part of this particular formula...
Nevertheless, you firmly beleive SSTP will emerge victorious from this delisting?
