Industrial Arene Chemistry
Markets, Technologies, Sustainable Processes and Cases Studies of Aromatic Commodities, 4 Volume Set
Description:... Industrial Arene Chemistry Explore the wide array of uses for aromatic hydrocarbons in this comprehensive reference
Aromatics are a class of compounds—normally but not exclusively organic—which tend to be produced as by-products of various industrial processes. Their importance as petrochemical materials in themselves, along with the range of inter-relations between different aromatic chemicals, creates a complex and opportunity-filled market for aromatics.
Industrial Arene Chemistry provides a thorough look at the conventional techniques required to use and produce these aromatic hydrocarbons. Beginning with an overview of the global aromatic market—including, but not limited to, manufacturers, markets of BTX, and downstream functional aromatics, aromatics derived from renewable sources, and economic forecasts—the book will also explore the impact shifting environmental factors will have on the future of aromatic chemistry. The text further explores BTX production processes differentiated according to the raw materials used. Importantly, this will establish the importance and growth of the biobased chemical industry.
Industrial Arene Chemistry readers will also find:
- Case studies that describe major elements of specific technologies prototyped by contributors/companies as part of ongoing market development efforts
- Process chapters that include summaries of the conventional techniques and a more detailed discussion of recent high-impact studies
- Recent advances in conventional aromatic reactions, including alkylation, acylation and carboxylation, hydrogenation/reduction, oxidation, nitration/amination, sulfonation, and halogenation
Industrial Arene Chemistry is a useful reference for chemists and chemical engineers who work with aromatics.
