Handbook of Membrane Separations

Handbook of Membrane Separations: Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Food, and Biotechnological Applications
By Anil K. Pabby, Syed S.H. Rizvi, Ana Maria Sastre


Description:

The Handbook of Membrane Separations: Chemical, Pharmaceutical, and Biotechnological Applications provides detailed information on membrane separation technologies as they have evolved over the past decades. To provide a basic understanding of membrane technology, this book documents the developments dealing with these technologies. It explores chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing and biotechnological applications of membrane processes ranging from selective separation to solvent and material recovery. This text also presents in-depth knowledge of membrane separation mechanisms, transport models, membrane permeability computations, membrane types and modules, as well as membrane reactors.

Description:

Want to know how to make ULSD? Formulate a lube base stock? Clean up an oil spill? Optimize an entire refinery? From oil production to product blending, Practical Advances in Petroleum Processing provides general overviews and in-depth reference material on these topics and scores of others. When you want information on the chemistry and technology of oil refining, look here first. Even if you don?t find what you need in this book, most likely it will lead you to the answer you need; our 50 contributors from 8 different countries in North America, Europe and Asia have provided hundreds of useful references. They represent oil companies, universities, catalyst vendors, process licensors, consultants and engineering contractors.



The breadth of this two-volume book is unique. It covers areas seldom found in other works on petroleum processing. These include refinery economics, model-predictive control, process modeling, online optimization, safety! , and environmental protection.

Thermal and Catalytic Processes in Petroleum Refining
By Serge Raseev

Book Description:

This text examines the thermal and catalytic processes involved in the refining of petroleum 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 effects 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 that must be addressed in hydrocarbon conversion. Topics include processes on metallic catalysts, processes using bifunctional catalysts, and catalytic reforming.

Petroleum Refining: Technology and Economics

Petroleum Refining: Technology and Economics
By James H. Gary, Glenn E. Handwerk

Description:

Continuing the high standards set by earlier editions, Petroleum Refining, Fourth Edition summarizes recent developments in oil refining processes, addressing topics ranging from basic applications to the implementation of viable operations that meet environmental and economic requirements. The authors maintain the clear, systematic style that made previous editions so popular. This edition reviews petroleum-refining technology and refining processes, incorporates recent statistics on utility data, investment, and operating costs, and considers environmental factors, the place of reformulated fuels in product distribution, and uses for heavier crude oils and those with higher sulfur and metal.
