Exploring many aspects related to asphaltenes composition and conversion, \u003cstrong\u003eAsphaltenes: Chemical Transformation during Hydroprocessing of Heavy Oils\u003c\/strong\u003e highlights the various changes that these heavy and complex molecules undergo during catalytic hydroprocessing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter 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 asphaltenes after hydroprocessing and the effect of reaction conditions on their structures. The authors also analyze the deactivation and characterization of spent hydroprocessing catalysts as well as the role played by asphaltenes. They cover sediments formation during hydroprocessing and the role of asphaltenes on it. The final chapters describe the hydrocracking and kinetics of asphaltenes and the fractionation of heavy crudes and asphaltenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDue to the increasing production of heavy crude oils, asphaltene has become one of the most studied molecules. This book provides a deep understanding of how asphaltenes transform during hydroprocessing, offering insight on designing catalysts and processing for the upgrading of heavy oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jorge Ancheyta,Fernando Trejo,Mohan Singh Rana\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1420066307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781420066302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2010 pg. 169","brand":"Jorge Ancheyta","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088200216831,"sku":"9781420066302","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0471219e-24c4-4498-83a6-a2dfdcdaae32.jpg?v=1769103613","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/asphaltenes-jorge-ancheyta-9781420066302","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
