Capitalize on the Vast Potential of Alternative Energy Sources Such as Fuel Cells and Biofuels Synthetic Fuels Handbook is a comprehensive guide to the benefits and trade-offs of numerous alternative fuels, presenting expert analyses of the different properties, processes, and performance characteristics of each fuel. It discusses the concept systems and technology involved in the production of fuels on both industrial and individual scales. Written by internationally renowned fuels expert James G. Speight, this vital resource describes the production and properties of fuels from natural gas and natural gas hydrates tar sand bitumen coal oil shale synthesis gas crops wood sources biomass industrial and domestic waste landfill gas...and much more. Using both U.S. and SI units, Synthetic Fuels Handbook features: Information on conventional and nonconventional fuel sources Discussion of the production of alternative fuels on both industrial and individual scales Analyses of properties and uses of gaseous, liquid, and solid fuels from different sources Comparison of properties of alternative fuels with petroleum-based fuels Discover All the Benefits and Trade-Offs of Synthetic Fuels Fuel sources: conventional and nonconventional Natural gas and natural gas hydrates Petroleum and heavy oil Tar sand bitumen Coal Oil shale Synthesis gas Crops Wood sources Biomass Industrial and domestic waste Landfill gas Comparison of the properties and uses of gaseous fuels from different sources Comparison of the properties and uses of liquid fuels from different sources Comparison of the properties and uses of solid fuels from different sources

The Go-To Reference for Chemists for More Than 70 Years Completely Updated to Include Today s Essential Topics Lange s Handbook of Chemistry, Seventeenth Edition is written to provide a reliable one-stop source of factual information for today s working chemist. Within its pages, you will find an unmatched compilation of facts, data, tabular material, and experimental findings that span every area of chemistry. Included in this fully updated Seventeenth Edition are listings of the properties of more than 4,000 organic and 1,400 inorganic compounds. The Seventeenth Edition is enhanced by the addition of an all-new section on Naturally Occurring Chemicals and Chemical Sources. This timely new content includes descriptions of coal, crude oil, natural gas, tar sand and tar sand bitumen, oil shale, biomass and biofuels, and minerals. Sections include: Inorganic Chemistry Organic Chemistry Naturally Occurring Chemicals and Chemical Sources Spectroscopy (available online at www.mhprofessional.com/Langes) General Information and Conversion Tables (available online at www.mhprofessional.com/Langes) If you prefer the convenience of one authoritative resource, rather than a multitude of scattered and diverse references, Lange s Handbook of Chemistry, Seventeenth Edition belongs on your desk.

This text focuses on the structure of the current educational system and describes the transformations needed to ensure the adequate education of future science and engineering students. It describes how university faculty can make the necessary changes to teach a broader range of skills, technical proficiency, teamwork, adaptability, and versatility within the undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum. Also covered are approaches to provide a broader exposure to experiences desired by both academic and non-university employers to prepare students for an increasingly interdisciplinary, collaborative, and global job market.

Offers an analysis of process steps used to produce industrial hydrocarbons from various raw materials. This book describes specific processing operations including distillation, catalytic methods, hydroprocesses, thermal and catalytic reforming, isomerization, alkylation processes, polymerization processes, solvent processes and water removal.
