Geochemistry of Sulfur in Fossil Fuels

Download or read book Geochemistry of Sulfur in Fossil Fuels written by Wilson L. Orr and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the first volume to examine sulfur in fossil fuels from a geochemical perspective. It begins with six introductory chapters that present an overview of the material, historical background, and summaries of the present state of knowledge. Subsequent chapters cover: case studies of specific sedimentary environments; characterization of sulfur in selected coals and petroleums by various methods and techniques; and the major advances in understanding geochemistry at the molecular level. This important volume fills a significant gap in the technical literature and updates the understanding of the chemical processes in geological environments giving rise to sulfur fossil fuels.
