Thermal Cracking

This book examines conventional and non-conventional processing techniques for crude oils and documents their effects on the composition and properties of petroleum products at the oil/solid, oil/air, oil/water and oil/metal interfaces. Focusing on surface activity, the author examines the undesirable effects of processes such as solvent extraction, desalting, dewaxing, catalyst deactivation, and hydroprocessing as well as trace element and water contamination. With each process, the author presents methods for improving interfacial properties, including the use of surface-active additives, demulsifiers, antifoaming agents, and corrosion/rust inhibitors

This book presents the latest investigations on the applications of microwave energy and the effects of microwave radiation on various materials and mediums. This volume examines the use of microwave energy to extract bioactive compounds from plant materials, for rock-breaking operations, to synthesize functional dyes and nanomaterials, and more.

The book is essentially the application of reaction and reactor engineering to petroleum refining and steam cracking along with descriptions of current technology. As a result it is a great reference for chemical engineers working in the petroleum refining and petrochemical industries or for those teaching reactor engineering who would like to include examples from petroleum refining.
