Hydrocarbon Chemistry By George A. Olah

EPub Hydrocarbon chemistry paper

Hydrocarbons and their transformations play major roles in chemistry as raw materials and sources of energy Diminishing petroleum supplies regulatory problems and environmental concerns constantly challenge chemists to rethink and redesign the industrial applications of hydrocarbons Written by Nobel Prize winner George Olah and hydrocarbon expert Arpad Molnar the completely revised and expanded Second Edition of Hydrocarbon Chemistry provides an unparalleled contemporary assessment of the field presenting basic concepts current research and future applications Hydrocarbon Chemistry begins by discussing the general aspects of hydrocarbons the separation of hydrocarbons from natural sources and the synthesis from C1 precursors with recent developments for possible future applications Each successive chapter deals with a specific type of hydrocarbon transformation The Second Edition includes a new section on the chemical reduction of carbon dioxide focusing on catalytic ionic electrocatalytic photocatalytic and ezymatic reductions as well as a new chapter on new catalysts and activation methods combinatorial chemistry and environmental chemistry Other topics covered include Major processes of the petrochemical industry such as cracking reforming isomerization and alkylation Derivation reactions to form carbon heteroatom bonds Hydrocarbon oxidations Metathesis Oligomerization and polymerization of hydrocarbons All chapters have been updated by adding sections on recent developments to review new advances and results Essential reading for practicing scientists in industry polymer and catalytic chemists as well as researchers and graduate students Hydrocarbon Chemistry Second Edition remains the benchmark text in its field Hydrocarbon Chemistry
