4 edition. — McGraw-Hill, 1958. — 981 p. When first published (1936) a main purpose of this book was the introduction of the principles of chemical engineering to the petroleum refining industry. The situation is now reversed. The chemical industry now looks to petroleum refiners for leadership in the development of many phases of chemical engineering especially those related...
Gulf Pub. Co. 1973. — 162 p. Crude petroleum as it is produced from the field is a relatively low-value material since, in its native state, it is rarely usable directly. However, it can be refined and further processed into any number of products whose value is many times that of the original oil. The first step in any petroleum refinery is the separation of the crude into...
Macmillan, 1903. — 304 p. During the past eighteen years I have been engaged in investigations which necessitated the preparation of chemical materials in the purest possible state, and as the great majority of these substances were liquids, the process of fractional distillation had, in most cases, to be resorted to for their purification. The difficulties I met with in some...
McGraw-Hill. 4th Edition. 1950. — 509 p. The first edition of this book and the early revisions were the result of the efforts of Professor Robinson, and he took an active part in guiding the revision of the previous edition. His death made it necessary to prepare this edition without his helpful guidance and counsel. The present revision differs extensively from the previous...
