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 4 titled Carbon Capture Technologies is devoted to efficient technologies utilized for separation that are the heart of controlling carbon-made greenhouse gases (GHGs). The book starts with a review of carbon capture concepts with a focus on energy penalties as well as the operating pilots and plants followed by a meticulous investigation of different classes of capture methods. Section 2 surveys the absorption process including amines, physical absorbents, alkaline solvents, ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents, nanoparticle-enhanced solvents, as well as a number of novel materials and structures, that are employed to eliminate GHGs utilizing absorption. Section 3 addresses adsorption-based strategies with a focus on the role of different solid adsorbents, introduces technologies that benefit from membranes, and considers different materials utilized in the fabrication of membranes. The final section deals with other as state-of-the-art alternatives in carbon capture. Moreover, each section reviews the economic assessments and environmental challenges.- Introduces carbon capture concepts and challenges- Describes various absorption and adsorption processes for carbon capture- Includes various membrane technologies for carbon capture
