A distinctive and up-to-date resource, this book examines conventional and non-conventional processing techniques for crude oils. It also documents their effects on the composition and properties of petroleum products at the oil/solid, oil/air, oil/water and oil/metal interfaces. Focusing on surface activity, the author examines the undesira

Covers various aspects of interfacial problems, discussing the properties of crude oils and petroleum products at the oil/metal, oil/water, and oil/gas interfaces that lead to rust, corrosion, stable emulsions, and foaming. This book covers the effects of surface active molecules, trace contaminants, and processing.

Discusses the refining of lube oil base stocks, chemistry of additives, the formulation technology of lubricants, and the performance of important finished products. This title provides an examination of base stocks, including its processing, oxidation stability, chemistry and performance of additives, and its interfacial properties.
