Process Chemistry of Lubricant Base Stocks
Tribology & Lubrication Technology, Nov 2007
Process Chemistry of Lubricant Base Stocks (CRC Press). Advances in processing methods are not only improving the quality and yield of lubricant base stocks, they are also reducing the dependence on more expensive crude oil starting materials. Process Chemistry of Lubricant Base Stocks provides a comprehensive understanding of the chemistry behind the processes involved in petroleum base stock production from crude oil fractions.
This book examines hydroprocessing technologies that, driven by the demand for higher performance in finished lubricants, have transformed processing treatments throughout the industry. The author relates the properties of base stocks to their chemical composition and describes the process steps used in their manufacture. This book highlights catalytic processes, including hydrocracking, hydrofinishing and catalytic dewaxing. It also covers traditional solvent-based separation methods used to remove impurities, enhance performance and improve oxidation resistance. Available at www.tayloranclfrancis.com. List Price: $140 (USD)
