Process Chemistry of Lubricant Base Stocks

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explains the chemistry behind the processes involved in lubricant base stock production. It discusses the properties of base stocks and examines modern hydroprocessing technologies--including hydrocracking, hydrofinishing, and catalytic dewaxing--employed in refineries worldwide. It also covers processing treatments for Food Grade white oils and paraffins. Process Chemistry of Lubricant Base Stocks provides historical and conceptual background to the technologies used to make base stocks, thorough references, and a unique emphasis on chemical, not just engineering, aspects of lubricant processing--making this book an ideal and practical reference for scientists across a wide range of disciplines.
