Hydrotreatment
Process for improving quality by catalytic hydrogenation, forming essentially linear n-paraffins.
Hydroisomerization
Catalytic process for transforming linear n-parafines under hydrogen into isomers of identical composition with a slightly branched carbon chain.
Corrosion-resistant alloy
Alloys with enhanced corrosion resistance (stainless steels, nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys).
Pyrolysis
Pyrolysis, or thermolysis, is the chemical decomposition of an organic compound by significantly raising its temperature to obtain other products it did not contain.
Roasting
The action of bringing organic substances to be oxidized into contact with air, under the...
