This massively updated and expanded fifth edition is the most complete, authoritative engineering treatment of the dehydration and gas purification processes used in industry today. Of great value to design and operations engineers, it gives practical process and equipment design descriptions, basic data, plant performance results, and other detailed information on gas purification processes and hardware. This latest edition incorporates all significant advances in the field since 1985. You will find major new chapters on the rapidly expanding technologies of nitrogen oxide control, with discussions of regulatory requirements and available processes; absorption in physical solvents, covering single component and mixed solvent systems; and membrane permeation, with emphasis on the gas purification applications of membrane units. In addition, new sections cover areas of strong current interest, particularly liquid hydrocarbon treating, Claus plant tail gas treating, thermal oxidation of volatile organic compounds, and sulfur scavenging processes. This volume brings you expanded coverage of alkanolamines for hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide removal, the removal and use of ammonia in gas purification, the use of alkaline salt solutions for acid gas removal, and the use of water to absorb gas impurities. The basic technologies and all significant advances in the following areas are thoroughly described: sulfur dioxide removal and recovery processes, processes for converting hydrogen sulfide to sulfur, liquid phase oxidation processes for hydrogen sulfide removal, the absorption of water vapor by dehydrating solutions, gas dehydration and purification by adsorption, and the catalytic and thermal conversion of gas impurities.

Professor Hall is Professor Emeritus of Linguistics at Cornell University. Here he recapitulates his earlier findings (1982) and incorporates the most-recent discoveries in mediaeval Scandinavian documents, all of which afford further proof of the authenticity of the Kensington text. He also places the inscription in the broader context of North American and Scandinavian history, citing King Valdemar IV's conquest of Gothland in 2361 and his defeat of the Hanseatic fleet at Helsingborg in 1362 as possible reasons for a Scandinavian voyage of exploration and settlement to the west of Vinland, as suggested by the text of the tune-stone.

The Kensington Rune-Stone: Authentic & Important (Edward Sapir Monograph Series in Language, Culture & Cognition, Vol 19)

This is a true story about a practical joke that got out of hand. The practical joke involves building and launching flying saucers that are each about the size of a small car. Every person is quirky in their own way. I build flying saucers in my garage and fly them so people can look up in the sky and wonder, “what the hell is that?” People may also wonder, “What kind of idiot would do such a thing?” so the book covers some of my background as well. Weird things happen to all of us, and this is a collection of the things I have experienced that made me laugh. As I was preparing to build my first flying saucer, I checked the internet to see how other people had done this prank and I was surprised that no one had documented having done something similar. So I am either a pioneer in the field of UFO pranks or—as my wife contends—I am the first person stupid enough to admit to doing it. Either way there is some information here that you will not find anywhere else.

This book details the most in-depth and exhaustive investigation into what is arguably the most controversial historical artifact ever discovered in North America. The Kensington Rune Stone has been the subject of passionate debate over its authenticity since it was discovered in the roots of a tree near Kensington, Minnesota, by Olof Ohman in 1898. Through the presentation of compelling new evidence this book answers the many nagging questions that have puzzled investigators for the over 100 years. Much of this new evidence is truly startling and has led to the understanding of not only who carved the stone, but where they came from and why they came to North America. Co-authors geologist Scott Wolter and engineer Richard Nielsen present the evidence of their collective 25 years of research on the artifact. The results of their research present a compelling and convincing case.
