Asphaltene Particles in Fossil Fuel Exploration, Recovery, Refining and Production Processes : Proceedings of an International Symposium Held in Conjunction with the 23rd Annual Meeting of Fine Particles Society in Las Vegas, Nevada, July 13-17, 1992

Proceedings of a symposium held in Las Vegas, Nevada, in July 1992. Papers are divided into four broad categories on bitumen and coal-derived asphaltenes, asphalt and asphaltene conversion, surface and colloidal aspects of asphaltenes, and thermodynamic and molecular aspects of asphaltenes. Discussions include various processes occurring at molecular, microscopic, and macroscopic levels in asphaltenes and bitumen processing for heavy oil recovery. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
