Used lubricating oil is a valuable resource. However, it must be
re-refined mainly due to the accumulation of physical and chemical
contaminants in the oil during service. Refining Used Lubricating
Oils describes the properties of used lubricating oils and presents
ways these materials can be re-refined and converted into useful
lubricants as well as other products. It provides an up-to-date
review of most of the processes for used lubricating oil refining
that have been proposed or implemented in different parts of the
world, and addresses feasibility and criteria for selecting a
particular process. The book begins with an overview of lubricating
oil manufacturing, both petroleum-based and synthetic-based. It
reviews the types and properties of lubricating oils and discusses
the characteristics and potential of used lubricating oils. The
authors describe the basic steps of used oil treatment including
dehydration, distillation or solvent extraction, and finishing.
They explore the combustion of used oil for use as fuel, covering
chemistry and equipment, fuel oil properties, and combustion
emissions. The book considers alternative processing options such
as refinery processing and re-refining. It also reviews the major
refining processes that have been suggested over the years for used
oil. These include acid/clay, simple distillation, combinations of
distillation and hydrogenation, solvent extraction, filtration, and
coking processes. The book addresses economic, life cycle
assessment, and other criteria for evaluating the attractiveness of
an oil recycling project, examining various costs and presenting an
economic evaluation method using an Excel spreadsheet that can be
downloaded from the publisher's website. The book concludes with a
chapter offering insights on how to choose the most suitable
process technology.

In an increasingly technological world, the education of scientists
and engineers has become an activity of growing importance.
Educating Scientists and Engineers for Academic and Non-Academic
Career Success focuses on the structure of the current educational
system and describes the transformations needed to ensure the
adequate education of future science and engineering students. The
book describes how university faculty can make the necessary
changes to teach a broader range of skills, technical proficiency,
teamwork, adaptability, and versatility within the undergraduate
and postgraduate curriculum. Also covered are approaches to provide
a broader exposure to experiences desired by both academic and
non-university employers to prepare students for an increasingly
interdisciplinary, collaborative, and global job market.

Go-To Reference for Chemists for More Than 70 Years - Completely
Updated to Include Today's Essential Topics Lange's Handbook of
Chemistry, Seventeenth Edition is written to provide a reliable
one-stop source of factual information for today's working chemist.
Within its pages, you will find an unmatched compilation of facts,
data, tabular material, and experimental findings that span every
area of chemistry. Included in this fully updated Seventeenth
Edition are listings of the properties of more than 4,000 organic
and 1,400 inorganic compounds. The Seventeenth Edition is enhanced
by the addition of an all-new section on Naturally Occurring
Chemicals and Chemical Sources. This timely new content includes
descriptions of coal, crude oil, natural gas, tar sand and tar sand
bitumen, oil shale, biomass and biofuels, and minerals. Sections
include: * Inorganic Chemistry * Organic Chemistry * Naturally
Occurring Chemicals and Chemical Sources * Spectroscopy (available
online at www.mhprofessional.com/Langes) * General Information and
Conversion Tables (available online at
www.mhprofessional.com/Langes) If you prefer the convenience of one
authoritative resource, rather than a multitude of scattered and
diverse references, Lange's Handbook of Chemistry, Seventeenth
Edition belongs on your desk.
A fully updated, all-in-one guide to synthetic and alternative
energy technologies Thoroughly revised to cover today's essential
topics, this practical resource discusses the benefits and
trade-offs of a wide range of alternative fuels and energy sources.
The handbook offers expert analyses of fuel properties, processes,
and performance characteristics as well as in-depth discussions of
gaseous, liquid, and solid synthetic fuels. Special attention is
given to cutting-edge technologies such as fuel cells and biofuels.
Synthetic Fuels Handbook: Properties, Process, and Performance,
Second Edition features clear, practical explanations of the latest
concepts, systems, and technologies. The book covers the production
of synthetic fuels on both industrial and individual scales. You
will get full details on fuels from natural gas and natural gas
hydrates, tar, sand bitumen, coal, oil shale, synthesis gas, crops,
wood sources, biomass, industrial and domestic waste, landfill gas,
and more. *Reorganized and streamlined to explain the source
materials, production, and properties of synthetic fuels *Compares
alternative fuels with petroleum-based counterparts*U.S. and SI
units are used throughout*Written by an internationally recognized
fuels expert and experienced author
