Sustainability: Contributions through Science and Technology Climate Change Carbon Recycling

This book describes the application of surface chemistry methods for carbon capture and recycling as related to climate change and CO2 concentration increase in the air. This online educational textbook addresses the importance of CO2 capture and sequestration for the future to use fossil fuels without contributing to atmospheric greenhouse gases. 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. Features This unique volume specifically highlights the surface chemistry aspects of carbon capture and recycling (CCR) Fills the need for an online textbook edition, which provides a basic and educational description of the climate change process and carbon capture/recycling Describes the application of surface chemistry methods for carbon capture and recycling, such as adsorption/absorption of CO2 Discusses the importance of recycling in reducing and controlling the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air (420 ppm: 0.042%) Describes the importance of the technology related to carbon capture/recycling and sequestration (CCS) from fossil fuel energy plants as a means of CO2 control
