Building on the tremendous success of the first edition, The Desulfurization of Heavy Oils and Residua, Second Edition expands and updates information on the technological aspects of refining heavy oils, residua, bitumen, and other high-sulfur feedstocks.

Focusing on the range of next-generation refining processes, The Desulfurization of Heavy Oils and Residua, Second Edition

• discusses recent modifications to traditional processing methods
• covers new types of processes and feedstocks, catalysts, and feedstock composition
• highlights updated methods for obtaining maximum yields of low-sulfur liquid products
• provides expanded coverage of the asphaltene fraction of petroleum and its influence on desulfurization activity
• offers detailed updates on behaviors of other nonhydrocarbon constituents of petroleum in refining operations
• contains examples of new processes for hydrogen production
• and more!

Listing bibliographic citations directly within each chapter for easier reference, The Desulfurization of Heavy Oils and Residua, Second Edition is a superb resource for chemical, industrial, and petroleum engineers, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
