Description
Climate Change and Carbon Recycling: Surface Chemistry Applications describes the application of surface chemistry methods for carbon capture and recycling in relation to climate change and atmospheric CO2 levels. The text is suitable for online education, with both basic and educational descriptions of the climate change process and carbon recycling methods like the adsorption and absorption of CO2 on solids. This book leads to a better understanding of a complex phenomenon and highlight the importance of CO2 capture and sequestration for the future to enable the utilization of fossil fuels without contributing to atmospheric greenhouse gases.
