Crude Oil Refinery and Refinery Products

2021
Crude oil has remained the leading source of fuel or energy in the world. It is a flammable and toxic liquid that contains a complex mixture of hydrocarbons having different molecular weights and other liquid organics. There are varieties of crude oil each with an inimitable mix of molecules that gives its physical and chemical properties and market ...

Renewable Resources: From Refinery to Bio-refinery

2015
Chemists are educated to consider petrochemicals as the source of both new molecules and energy. However, biological material (biomass) from living or recently living organisms, not metabolized for thousands of years into petrol and coal, offers an alternative feedstock that is elaborated in the so called bio-refineries to a variety of platform ...
