Description
Summary:"This book is based on the symposium titled "ENFL Distinguished Researcher Award in Honor of Mieczyslaw M. Boduszynski", sponsored by the Energy and Fuel Division (ENFL), held at the 253rd ACS National Meeting & Exposition, April 2-6, 2017, in San Francisco. Other authors were invited to participate to complement the multiples technical areas impacted by Boduszynski's work during his illustrious career. Dr. Boduszynski always advocated that a better understanding of petroleum molecular composition is key to predicting its properties and behavior. Such information is valuable for chemists, geologists, and chemical and petroleum engineers working in all areas of the petroleum value chain from exploration and production to refining. In a demonstration of Mietek's influence, this book presents an in-depth account of Boduszynski's work from the point of view of his collaborators and peers. The impacts on operations and current practices in the industry are discussed as well. This monograph covers three broad topics of Mietek's outstanding career, Heavy Fraction and Asphaltene Characterization, The Boduszynski Continuum Model, and Distillation"--Preface.
