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. The 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. The final chapters discuss the production of Food Grade white oils and paraffins and the gas-to-liquids processes used to produce highly paraffinic base stocks via Fischer-Tropsch chemistry.

Process Chemistry of Lubricant Base Stocks provides historical and conceptual background to the technologies used to make base stocks, thorough references, and a unique emphasis on chemical, not just engineering, aspects of lubricant processing—making this book an ideal and practical reference for scientists across a wide range of disciplines.

Reviews for Process Chemistry of Lubricant Base Stocks

'Football academics and students of sociology are this book's obvious market. But it would be a shame if it was lost to the general reading public.' The Independent '[This book's] appearance is yet more evidence of the growing respectability of football as an area for academic study ... Packed with information and insights into some of the major conflicts and rivalries of domestic support around the world.' When Saturday Comes 'Armstrong and Giulianotti have delivered a finely crafted anthology that does contribute to the literature on football and reminds that, at its heart, football is about deeply felt and symbolically charged antagonisms.' Soccar and Society
