It examines the origin of fuels through natural processes such as photosynthesis and the geological transformation of ancient plant material; the relationships between their composition, molecular structures and physical properties; and the various processes by which they are converted or refined into the fuel products appearing on today's market. Fundamental chemical aspects such as catalysis and the behaviour of reactive intermediates are presented and global warming and anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions are also discussed. The book is ideal for graduate students in energy engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering and chemistry, as well as professional scientists and engineers. 410 0$aCambridge series in chemical engineering. 517 3 $aChemistry of Fossil Fuels & Biofuels 606 $aFossil fuels$xAnalysis 606 $aBiomass energy 606 $aEnergy crops$xComposition 606 $aFuelwood crops$xComposition 615 0$aFossil fuels$xAnalysis. 615 0$aBiomass energy. 615 0$aEnergy crops$xComposition. 615 0$aFuelwood crops$xComposition. 676 $a553.2 700 $aSchobert$b Harold H.$f1943-$01677027 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817545303321 996 $aChemistry of fossil fuels and biofuels$94043615 997 $aUNINA
