  • Aliphatic Alkylation

    in Petroleum Refining
    • 1st Edition
    • Weizhen Sun + 4 more
    • English
    Aliphatic Alkylation in Petroleum Refining provides a fundamental understanding on the alkylation process, from molecular-level interfacial properties to macroscopic industry plants. Since the direct distillation of oil fractions does not satisfy the whole demand for fuel feedstocks, processes such as reforming, isomerization, and alkylation are needed to fulfill the market requirements within the gasoline pool. From the processes mentioned above, this book covers one of the most important refining processes due to the high quality of the alkylate with high research octane number (RON).Although the Aliphatic alkylation with H2SO4 and HF as catalysts have been industrialized for many years, there still exists lots of problems due to the complex heterogeneous reaction, such as the thermodynamics, reaction mechanism, molecular-level interfacial properties, and so on.

  • Developing China's Green Trade

    • English
    Developing China's Green Trade: Comprehensive Evaluation, Impacts, and Advancement Trajectories gives an extensive exploration of the intricate dynamics of green trade and its consequences. The book establishes a comprehensive indexing system for China's green trade and calculates a green trade composite index. Sourcing data from the Chinese Customs import and export trade database, the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and more, the book employs a range of econometric methods to empirically evaluate the economic, environmental, and social impacts of green trade. It also investigates advancement approaches through environmental regulation, technological innovation, financial inclusion, an more.The book primarily follows a framework of "measuring trade promotion paths." It begins by assessing the provincial green trade index in China after reviewing the concept and current state of green trade. Subsequently, it evaluates the potential impacts of green trade, considering its effects on the economy, environment, and society. Finally, it delves into a "five-pronged approach" of green trade advancement strategies, covering aspects of regulation, technology, finance, energy, and economy.

    • English
    Artificial Intelligence for Subsurface Characterization and Monitoring provides an in-depth examination of how deep learning accelerates the process of subsurface characterization and monitoring and provides an end-to-end solution. In recent years, deep learning has been introduced to the geoscience community to overcome some longstanding technical challenges. This book explores some of the most important topics in this discipline to explain the unique capability of deep learning in subsurface characterization for hydrocarbon exploration and production and for energy transition. Readers will discover deep learning methods that can improve the quality and efficiency of many of the key steps in subsurface characterization and monitoring.The text is organized into five parts. The first two parts explore deep learning for data enrichment and well log data, including information extraction from unstructured well reports as well as log data QC and processing. Next is a review of deep learning applied to seismic data and data integration, which also covers intelligent processing for clearer seismic images and rock property inversion and validation. The closing section looks at deep learning in time lapse scenarios, including sparse data reconstruction for reducing the cost of 4D seismic data, time-lapse seismic data repeatability enforcement, and direct property prediction from pre-migration seismic data.

Our knowledge of Titan has increased substantially due to observations from the Cassini-Huygens mission, which ended in 2017. Since then, observations from Earth, as well as laboratory and theoretical studies, have continued to add to our knowledge. These conclusions, combined with the latest ground-based and theoretical research, provide the most recent understanding of the science of Titan, covering the origin and evolution of Titan, its magnetic and plasma environment, surface, interior structure, geology, atmosphere, and the astrobiological potential for the oceans on the moon.The first book of the new COSPAR book series, Titan After Cassini-Huygens, is an integral reference for scientists, researchers, and academics working on Titan or ocean worlds.Part of the COSPAR Book SeriesEdited by Jean-Louis Fellous, former Executive Director of COSPAR (Committee on Space Research; 2008–2019)
