Based on the steady operation of the Shenhua Group’s Baotou coal-to-olefins demonstration project, this book, titled \"Processes and Engineering of Coal-to-Low-Carbon Olefins\", was compiled by engineering and technical management personnel who were involved in the construction and operation of this demonstration project. The compilers and authors of this book strive to achieve the following objectives: (1) Originality: This is the first monograph to provide a systematic overview of coal-to-low-carbon olefins projects, incorporating the latest research findings and operational data； ⑵Advanced in nature: It fully reflects the technical level of Shenhua Group’s Baotou coal-to-olefins demonstration project, which is at the world’s leading level ； ⑶It must be comprehensive: This book should cover the main process units such as gasification, syngas purification, methanol synthesis, methanol-to-olefins conversion, and olefin separation, as well as aspects related to safety and environmental protection ； ⑷Practicality: This book covers various aspects such as theoretical research, catalyst development, engineering design, and production operations, as well as the overall management of project construction. It is designed to be highly useful for scientific and engineering professionals working in fields such as research and development, catalyst production, engineering design, and production operations ； ⑸Academic in nature: This book aims to provide a systematic and detailed summary of achievements in research, engineering design, and production operations both domestically and internationally, integrating theory with practice to achieve a high academic standard. This book provides a comprehensive description of the various key processes in coal-based low-carbon olefin production from theoretical, engineering, and operational perspectives (including coal gasification, CO conversion and syngas purification, methanol synthesis, methanol-to-olefins conversion, and olefin separation). Each process is covered in terms of a process overview, chemistry and thermodynamics, catalysts, kinetics, process flow diagrams, operating variables, as well as operation and start-up/shutdown techniques. In addition, the book offers a systematic analysis of the environmental protection aspects and overall evaluation of pilot projects for coal-based low-carbon olefin production. Chapter 1 Introduction

Thank you, it’s worth a look. 198 yuan is a bit expensive.

Judging from the content, it’s well worth learning*; go buy the book right away.

This book draws on the experience of Baotou Company, explaining everything related to the processes and principles from start to finish. It cites quite a number of papers; it’s really citations. It feels like many people worked together to put together an infinite number of papers into one book. But it gets better later on; it will tell you about many articles that have been excerpted, and you can then look for the full papers on your own. It’s still quite good if it’s for learning*, after all, some of the points covered are comprehensive and include a lot of knowledge. But if you are highly specialized in research, then this book is just okay. After all, I think that for the chapter on olefins, most of the content is based on papers, and it can serve as an index of those papers.

It’s good for you to understand the basic concepts, but it isn’t very useful as a guide for practical application. You can buy it online for only 120 now.:)
