Description
Advances and Technology Development in Greenhouse Gases: Emission, Capture and Conversion is a comprehensive seven-volume set of books that discusses the composition and properties of greenhouse gases, and introduces different sources of greenhouse gases emission and the relation between greenhouse gases and global warming. The comprehensive and detailed presentation of common technologies as well as novel research related to all aspects of greenhouse gases makes this work an indispensable encyclopedic resource for researchers in academia and industry.Volume 5 titled Carbon Dioxide Conversion to Chemicals and Energy provides a beneficial strategy to control the rise of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere and their conversion into valuable materials such as chemical and energy carriers. The book touches concepts about the conversion of carbon dioxide, which is the main GHG. This two-section volume provides applications of carbon dioxide and the chemical processes employed to fabricate a host of materials. Each section reviews a process in detail and surveys the economic assessments, cost analysis, environmental impacts and challenges, recent advances and new concepts, and the largest operating plants and pilots for carbon conversion.- Introduces different applications of carbon dioxide- Includes environmental challenges and economic assessment of carbon capture and utilization- Describes various chemicals produced from CO2
