Advances in processing methods are not only improving the quality and yield of lubricant base stocks, they are also reducing the dependence on more expensive crude oil starting materials. Process Chemistry of Lubricant Base Stocks provides a comprehensive understanding of the chemistry behind the processes involved in petroleum base stock production from crude oil fractions.This book examines hydroprocessing technologies that, driven by the demand for higher performance in finished lubricants, have transformed processing treatments throughout the industry. The author relates the properties of base stocks to their chemical composition and describes the process steps used in their manufacture. The book highlights catalytic processes, including hydrocracking, hydrofinishing, and catalytic dewaxing. It also covers traditional solvent-based separation methods used to remove impurities, enhance performance, and improve oxidation resistance. The final chapters discuss the production of Food Grade white oils and paraffins and the gas-to-liquids processes used to produce highly paraffinic base stocks via Fischer-Tropsch chemistry. Process Chemistry of Lubricant Base Stocks provides historical and conceptual background to the technologies used to make base stocks, thorough references, and a unique emphasis on chemical, not just engineering, aspects of lubricant processing—making this book an ideal and practical reference for scientists across a wide range of disciplines.

Radikalt öppen dialektisk beteendeterapi, RO-DBT, är en banbrytande behandling för personer som känner ett alltför stort behov av kontroll. Det kan handla om hårda krav på att prestera, följa regler, aldrig göra fel eller att inte visa vad man känner.

RO-DBT kan bland annat hjälpa dig att

uppleva och visa känslor våga visa sårbarhet öka din flexibilitet och öppenhet öka din förmåga att njuta få mer känslomässig närhet och social gemenskap.

Materialet i denna arbetsbok ska användas i samverkan med din terapeut. Innehållet går även att ladda ner från bokens webbplats via en kod i boken.

Boken är fackgranskad av psykologerna Martina Isaksson och Martina Wolf-Arehult, som också har utvärderat behandlingen i ett forskningsprojekt vid Akademiska sjukhuset i Uppsala, vilket visade på goda resultat.

Thomas R. Lynch är professor emeritus vid School of Psychology, University of Southampton i Storbritannien och han har utvecklat RO-DBT.
