Surface Chemistry of Carbon Capture

<p><strong>Surface Chemistry of Carbon Capture: Climate Change Aspects</strong> provides comprehensive and up-to-date literature on carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology and delineates the surface chemistry of this process.</p><p>Mankind is dependent on energy from gas oil coal atomic energy and various other sources. In all fossil fuel combustion processes carbon dioxide (CO2) 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 [0.04%]). 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 processes of CO2 on solids and similar procedures to help address growing climate change concerns.</p>
