Reviews of Petroleum Technology

Excellent articles and lengthy abstracts, but inadequate index. Annual Reports on the Process of Naphthology appeared in the journal during 192 -1934. Reviews of Petroleum Technology 1935-1946, and Petroleum Technology, 1947-1954. 

Institute of Petroleum, Reviews of Petroleum Technology, London, Institute of Petroleum, 1937-Kirk, R. E., and Othmer, D. F., ed., Encyclopaedia of Chemical Technology, New York,... 

Institute of Petroleum, Manson House, London. Reviews of Petroleum Technology, Volumes 1-11, 1937-49. 

Review publications give considerable attention to the desired products. Reports on the Progress of Applied Chemistry, is published annually by the Society of Chemical Industry, London (91, Two sections of Reviews of Petroleum Technology (95, are of special interest—the section on derived chemicals and the section on petroleum literature. The latter section is concerned primarily with the nonperiodical literature, such as books and pamphlets. This first volume of Progress in Organic Chemistry contains a section, Chemicals from Petroleum, which emphasizes the oxygenated derivatives (89. ... 

London Wl, England. Title varies. Sometimes appears as Annual Reviews of Petroleum Technology, or Petroleum Technology. 

If it is considered desirable to check the abstracts of the Institute of Petroleum, entries under the sections special processes, special hydrocarbon products, derived chemical products, and miscellaneous products should be scanned. In their Reviews of Petroleum Technology, one should check in the section on special products under halogen derivatives. 

One of Dr. Ciapetta s last accolades was his selection to present the major review paper on trends in petroleum refining catalysis at the Seventh World Petroleum Congress in Mexico City in 1967. This was one of 18 papers covering major phases of petroleum technology, delivered by leading scientists from all over the world. Frank was one of only four Americans on the program. This was a natural consequence of a virtual lifetime devoted to work in the field of catalysis -academically, industrially, and in professional and scientific groups. 

Asphalt (bitumen) also occurs in various oil sand (also called tar sand) deposits which occur widely scattered through the world (17) and the bitumen is available by means of various extraction technologies. A review of the properties and character of the bitumen (18) suggests that, when used as an asphaltic binder, the bitumen compares favorably with specification-grade petroleum asphalts and may have superior aging characteristics and produce more water-resistant paving mixtures than the typical petroleum asphalts.

This paper briefly reviews the technology of petroleum coke desulfurization and the effects of sulfur removal processes on coke physical properties. 

Emulsion characterization and technology development have been driven by the medical, agricultural, food, and cosmetics industries the petroleum and oil industries have borrowed these technologies and adapted them to their particular applications. A number of books and review articles discuss aspects of emulsion technologies specifically related to oil-field and petroleum applications 14, IS), These petroleum applications have become especially important since the advent of surfactant flooding and other tertiary oil recovery methods in which emulsions are used and/or formed. 

Tphe notion of a chemical refinery has been suggested repeatedly over the past 30 years or more, and the possibilities have been explored in the literature (20, 21, 37, 68, 91, 109, 110, 120). This subject also occurs frequently in reviews on advances in petroleum technology (7, 23, 36, 38, 52, 113,115,116, 121,122,133,137,138,149). 

A special kind of nonaqueous foam known as bituminous froth is produced during the application of the hot-water flotation process to Athabasca oil sands, a large-scale commercial application of mined oil sands technology. These froths are multiphase, composed of oil, water gas, and solids, and form an interesting kind of petroleum industry foam. This chapter presents a review of the occurrence, nature, properties, and treatment of bituminous froths. 

The history of SPE dates from more than fifty years ago, with granulated active carbons previously used in water treatment technologies. The pioneer work was conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service (Cincinnati, OH). After that, other approaches were investigated with petroleum pollutants, insecticides and VOCs. Disadvantages such as irreversible adsorption, analyte reactions on the activated carbon surface and low recoveries started research in new sorbent materials. See the historical review of SPE by I. Liska. ...
