Sommario/riassunto

Introduction: Radiation methods for petroleum processing have attracted the attention of researchers since the early 1960s when the discovery of the phenomenon of radiation-thermal cracking presented an opportunity of using ionizing irradiation for high-rate deep oil processing. New technologies for high-viscous and heavy oil processing were developed with technical advances in the 1990s. These technologies are now ready to be scaled up for industrial applications. Radiation-thermal cracking of oil feedstock represents a solution to overcoming many acute problems of the oil industry. However, processes based on radiation-thermal cracking require heightened temperatures that are usually about 40% lower than those characteristic for thermocatalytic cracking. This is acceptable for many refinery operations; however, other applications, such as oil upgrading near the



sites of its extraction, require radical reduction of the process temperature. Observation of radiation-induced chain cracking reactions in hydrocarbons at lowered temperatures initiated the development of improved technological approaches, combining the advantages of radiation-thermal cracking and low-temperature feedstock processing. Progress in radiation technologies for oil processing demanded more detailed elaboration of the theory of thermally and radiation-induced self-sustaining cracking reactions. Researchers still face serious difficulties in the practical application of the theory to experimental data interpretation--

Sommario/riassunto

This book showcases multidisciplinary research at the intersection of the Islamic tradition and biomedicine. Within this broad area of scholarship, this book considers how Islamic theological constructs align with the science and practice of medicine, and in so doing offer resources for bridging the challenges of competing ontological visions, varied epistemic frameworks, and different theologies of life and living among the bodies of knowledge. By bringing together theologians, medical practitioners and intellectual historians, the book spurs deeper conversations at the intersection of these fields and provides fundamental resources for further dedicated research.
