If we are to move away from these sources, the alternative is to produce liquid fuels from agricultural stocks -- crops, crop waste, forestry waste or algae. Converting these feedstocks into high quality fuels is a considerable challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy describing the current status in processing agricultural feedstock into high quality liquid transport fuels, the authors set out the means to develop better chemistry and catalysis for the necessary conversion processes. This book offers an intriguing insight into the mechanisms and protocols involved in new hydroprocessing catalysts and processes, and covers the methods for upgrading these liquids to modern transport vehicles suitable for operation in modern gasoline and diesel engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt provides an introduction to the mechanism of hydroprocessing reactions, application of different metals in hydroprocessing, the effect of catalyst supports, applications in refining new feedstock, renewable fuels standards, the management of spent hydroprocessing catalysts, and hydrogen production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHydroprocessing Catalysts and Processes\u003c\/em\u003e will prove useful for both researchers in academe and industry concerned with future fuels development and treatment to produce current and future liquid transport fuels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bo Zhang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786344831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786344830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Europe Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Bo Zhang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47305409429759,"sku":"9781786344830","price":118.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1357fa86-9b2e-4b26-8bfd-64cefad2566d.jpg?v=1758830800","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hydroprocessing-catalysts-and-processes-bo-zhang-9781786344830","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
