Reviews of the 2nd Edition: ...literature coverage is comprehensive and ideal for quickly reviewing specific topics...of most value to industrial chemists... (Angewandte Chemie International Edition) ...industrial chemists, college and university teachers, and students will find the book very useful and a valuable addition to their bookshelves...useful for chemical engineers as well as engineers in the chemical and petrochemical industries. (Petroleum Science and Technology) "...valuable to a wide range of readers...." (Energy Sources) "...useful to anyone needing information about the important field of hydrocarbons, and the updates in this edition′s references are especially valuable...highly recommended." (Choice) "...will be a continuing first–source of vital information for this core component of contemporary organic chemistry." (Journal of the American Chemical Society) Building on the legacy of its successful predecessor, this revision of Hydrocarbon Chemistry begins by discussing the general aspects of hydrocarbons, the separation of hydrocarbons from natural sources, and the synthesis from C1 precursors with recent developments for possible future applications. Each successive chapter deals with a specific type of hydrocarbon transformation. Since the publication of the 2nd edition, the field of hydrocarbon chemistry has rapidly grown and expanded both in its scientific scope and significances and provides the most promising approach to replace oil and, eventually, all fossil fuel. It is also able to render the use of still existing substantial fossil fuels environmentally adaptable by capturing and recycling CO2 and recycling it through material to new fuels and chemical raw material developments that lead to this third edition.
