Students become acquainted with the origin of petroleum, its resources, production, consumption, transport and storage. They get to know about petroleum composition, its pretreatment and distillation. The rest of the course is then devoted to refining processes, namely to thermal and catalytic cracking, hydrocracking and hydrotreating of petroleum fractions, reforming and isomerization of gasolines, production of gasolines by alkylation a polymerization, production of ethers a mineral oil. The mechanism of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon petroleum components cracking as well hydrotreating reactions is explained. Individual variants of these refining technologies and their developing trends, the catalysts used and products obtained and their properties are presented including ecological aspects.
