Excellent- More about Fuel Additives - Chemistry and Technology
Fuel additives are chemicals that are added to gasoline, diesel, and other fuels to improve their performance and reduce emissions. This book provides a comprehensive overview of fuel additives, their chemistry, and technology, including discussions of refinery operations, transportation, storage, and applications. It also includes information on fuel detergents, cold flow improvers, combustion improvers, and additives that protect metal surfaces.

Fuel additives play a crucial role in enhancing the performance and efficiency of petroleum-based fuels. In Fuel Additives: Chemistry and Technology, renowned petroleum industry chemist R. D. Tack provides a comprehensive and practical exploration of these additives, delving into their chemistry, technology, and applications.
The book begins by introducing and summarizing refinery operations, making it easier for readers to understand the subsequent chapters on fuels. It then proceeds to delve into the various problems that arise during the transportation, storage, and use of liquid petroleum fuels. These problems are addressed in detail, with specific applications to jet fuel, heating oils, gasoline, diesel fuels, and bunker fuels.
Fuel Additives: Chemistry and Technology offers a thorough overview of fuels, encompassing discussions of refinery operations, processes, and the application of fuel additives. It also provides valuable aids for the transportation and storage of liquid petroleum fuels, including stabilizers against oxidative degradation, drag reducers, static dissipators, anti-foamants, demulsifiers, de-icers, and biocides.
In-depth examinations of fuel detergents are conducted, exploring their chemistries and proposed mechanisms of action. Cold flow improvers are explored, with detailed descriptions of the waxing problems they solve. Combustion improvers are also discussed, focusing on their ability to enhance the efficiencies of fuel combustion in engines, burners, and particulate filters while reducing emissions.
Furthermore, fuel additives are used to protect metal surfaces against wear and corrosion, providing lubricity and preventing corrosion. This book is particularly valuable for chemists working in the petroleum industry, but it will also appeal to a broader audience interested in the chemistry and technology of fuel additives.
