"Recommend[ed]a useful resource for chemists who wish to improve their knowledge of some of the "real world" issues that must be addressed in hydrocarbon conversion." -Tom Cundari, Professor of Chemistry, University of North Texas, Denton, U.S.A.
Product Description
This text examines the thermal and catalytic processes involved in petroleum refining, including visbreaking, coking, pyrolysis, catalytic cracking, oligomerization, alkylation, hydrofining, hydroisomerization, hydrocracking, and catalytic reforming. It analyses the thermodynamics, reaction mechanisms, and kinetics of each process, as well as the effect of operating conditions and reactor design on process performance and product quality. This is a valuable resource for chemists who wish to improve their knowledge of some of the real world issues in hydrocarbon conversion. Other topics include processes on metallic catalysts, processes using bifunctional catalysts, and catalytic reforming.
First Sentence
The thermodynamic study of technological processes has two objectives: Determination of the overall thermal effect of chemical transformations that take place in the industrial process Determination of the equilibrium composition for a broad range of temperatures and pressures in order to deduce optimum working conditions and performances The manner in which the two objectives are approached within the conditions of chemical technology is different from the classical approach and requires the use of the specific methodology outlined in this chapter
