Hydrocarbon Chemistry, Third Edition, Two Volume Set

Since the publication of the 2 nd edition, the field of hydrocarbon chemistry has rapidly grown and expanded both in its scientific scope and significances and provides the most promising approach to replace oil and, eventually, all fossil fuel.

This book provides an unparalleled contemporary assessment of hydrocarbon chemistry – presenting basic concepts, current research, and future applications. •    Comprehensive and updated review and discussion of the field of hydrocarbon chemistry•    Includes literature coverage since the publication of the previous edition•    Expands or adds coverage of: carboxylation, sustainable hydrocarbons, extraterrestrial hydrocarbons•    Addresses a topic of special relevance in contemporary science, since hydrocarbons play a role as a possible replacement for coal, petroleum oil, and natural gas as well as their environmentally safe use•    Reviews of prior edition: “...literature coverage is comprehensive and ideal for quickly reviewing specific topics...of most value to industrial chemists...” (Angewandte Chemie) and “...useful for chemical engineers as well as engineers in the chemical and petrochemical industries.” (Petroleum Science and Technology)
