Fuels and fuel-additives

Exploring chemical structures and properties, this book sheds new light on the current science and technology of producing energy efficient and environmentally friendly fuels. It explains the role of fuel-additives in the production cycle; presents requirements, rules and regulations, including US and EU standards governing automotive emissions, fuel quality and specifications, alternate fuels, biofuels, antioxidants, deposit control detergents/dispersants, stabilizers, corrosion inhibitors, and polymeric fuel-additives; covers all stages and facets of the production of engine fuels as well as heating and fuel oils; processing of engine fuels derived from crude oil, including the production of blending components; production of alternative fuels; fuel-additives for automotive engines; blending of fuels; key properties of motor fuels and their effects on engines and the environment; aviation fuels; fuel oils and marine fuels. --
