Geochemistry of Sulfur in Fossil Fuels

Here is the first volume to examine sulphur 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 sulphur in selected coals and petroleums by various methods and techniques; and the major advances in understandinggeochemistry 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 sulphur fossil fuels.
