The Technology of Oil Refining . In 4 parts. Part 2 . Physico-chemical processes" by Kapustin B. M. and Gureeva A. A. is an important work that immerses the reader in the complex and fascinating world of oil refining. The second part of this series is devoted to the physical and chemical processes that underlie oil refining, and is an indispensable source of knowledge for both students and professionals in the chemical technology, oil and gas industry. This book offers an in-depth understanding of the processes taking place at the molecular level and explains how various physicochemical phenomena affect the efficiency of hydrocarbon processing. The authors, with considerable experience and knowledge in their field, share with readers relevant information about modern methods and technologies that are used in the petrochemical industry. They consider in detail such aspects as thermodynamics, kinetics of reactions, as well as the mechanisms of interaction of various components, which allows the reader not only to learn the theoretical foundations, but also to understand the practical application of this knowledge. The book will be of interest to a wide range of readers: from students of technical universities studying chemistry and engineering, to experienced specialists working in the oil and gas sector. It can also attract the attention of researchers and scientists involved in the development of new technologies for processing hydrocarbons. Thanks to an accessible style of presentation and a clear structure, readers will be able to easily navigate complex topics and find the necessary information. The topics raised in the book cover not only physical and chemical processes, but also broader issues such as sustainable development, ecology and the impact of oil refining on the environment. The authors emphasize the need to introduce innovative technologies that can reduce the negative impact on nature and increase the efficiency of processing. This makes the book relevant in the context of contemporary challenges facing humanity. The style of Kapustin and Gureev is distinguished by scientific rigor, but at the same time they skillfully use examples from practice, which makes the material more lively and understandable. In their works, you can notice the desire for accessibility and clarity, which allows readers to easily assimilate even the most complex concepts. These authors have already established themselves in the scientific community, and their previous work is also worthy of attention, for example, “Technology of oil refining . In Part 1" and other specialized publications that cover various aspects of petrochemistry. If you are looking for information about oil refining, physicochemical processes or want to deepen your knowledge in the field of chemical technology, this book will be a real find for you. It will not only enrich your wealth of knowledge, but also inspire further research and practical application of the knowledge gained. Do not miss this unique work, which opens the door to the world of modern oil refining technologies and creates a solid foundation for future achievements in this important area.
