A compilation of articles from expert contributors, this volume focuses on three main themes: catalyst preparation and activation, reaction mechanism, and process-related topics. The book demonstrates that while the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) has advanced in maturity, many issues remain concern..
Few texts cover the full gamut of combustion engineering. Applied Combustion fills this gap, providing readers with an expanded engineering introduction to principles of applied thermochemical energy conversion, as well as numerous instances of practical application to a variety of current chemical ..
The editors have assembled a world-class group of contributors who address the questions the combustion diagnostic community faces. They are chemists who identify the species to be measured and the interfering substances that may be present; physicists, who push the limits of laser spectroscopy and ..
This work highlights the various changes that asphaltenes undergo during catalytic hydroprocessing. After defining and characterizing asphaltene structure, the book examines the composition of petroleum and the processes and catalysts for upgrading heavy oils. It then details the characterization of..
This work is based on the proceedings of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers' Spring National Meeting in Houston, Texas, March 28 to April 1, 1993. It details various facets of residue upgrading and distillate hydrotreating, stressing the importance of selective catalysts in aromatics reduc..
This book summarizes the state of the art in combustion synthesis of advanced materials. It is a first attempt to summarize and critically review in one monograph the mechanisms of combustion and product structure formation for a variety of systems, including nanosystems. The authors discuss a wide ..
