Fossil Hydrocarbons: Chemistry and Technology
3/5
()
About this ebook
- Approaches various fossil hydrocarbons as chemically related entities, thus dispelling the unwarranted distinctions between crude oils and coal
- Explains how heavy fossil hydrocarbons can be processed by much the same methods as crude oils for good economic and environmental purpose
- Illustrates how bitumens, oil shales, and coals are convertible into synthetic natural gas and oils
- Shows a path for reasonable energy self-sufficiency, through conversion of heavy hydrocarbons into synthetic natural gas and oils
- Augments each chapter with end-of-chapter notes and a detailed bibliography
- Provides more than 200 useful tables, schematics, and figures
