Introduction to surface chemistry of carbon capture -- Adsorption (on solids) & absorption (in fluids) of gases (CCS procedures) (surface chemistry aspects) -- Surface chemistry of solids -- Carbon capture & sequestration (CCS) technology (basic remarks) -- A short review of different carbon dioxide (CO2) capture processes (adsorption on solids: absorption in fluids).
Summary:
"Surface Chemistry of Carbon Capture: Climate Change Aspects provides comprehensive and up-to-date literature on carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, and delineates the surface chemistry of this process. Mankind is dependent energy from gas, oil, coal, atomic energy, and various other sources. In all combustion processes, carbon dioxide is produced (ca. 25 Gt/year). In the past few decades, we have observed a constant increase in CO2 content in the air (currently ca.400 ppm). This book discusses the technology related to carbon (i.e. CO2) capture and sequestration (CCS) from fossil fuel energy plants, which is considered an important means of CO2 control. It also covers the adsorption/absorption of CO2 on solids and similar procedures, to help address growing climate concerns"-- Provided by publisher.
