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.
