Chemistry of fossil fuels and biofuels [E-Book] / Harold Schobert.
Chemistry of fossil fuels and biofuels [E-Book] / Harold Schobert.
Focusing on today's major fuel resources - ethanol, biodiesel, wood, natural gas, petroleum products and coal - this book discusses the formation, composition and properties of the fuels, and the ways in which they are processed for commercial use. It examines the origin of fuels through natura...
