PROMISING NEW APPROACHES TO RECYCLE CARBON DIOXIDE AND REDUCEEMISSIONS
With this book as their guide, readers will learn a variety ofnew approaches and methods to recycle and reuse carbon dioxide(CO2) in order to produce green fuels and chemicals and,at the same time, minimize CO2 emissions. The authorsdemonstrate how to convert CO2 into a broad range ofessential products by using alternative green energy sources, suchas solar, wind, and hydro-power as well as sustainable energysources. Readers will discover that CO2 can be a drivingforce for the sustainable future of both the chemical industry andthe energy and fuels industry.
Green Carbon Dioxide features a team of expert authors,offering perspectives on the latest breakthroughs in CO2recycling from Asia, Europe, and North America. The book beginswith an introduction to the production of CO2-basedfuels and chemicals. Next, it covers such topics as:
* Transformation of CO2 to useable products throughfree-radical-induced reactions
* Hydrogenation of CO2 to liquid fuels
* Direct synthesis of organic carbonates from CO2 andalcohols using heterogeneous oxide catalysts
* Electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 in methanolmedium
* Fuel production from photocatalytic reduction of CO2with water using TiO2-based nanocomposites
* Use of CO2 in enhanced oil recovery and carboncapture and sequestration
More than 1,000 references enable readers to explore individualtopics in greater depth.
Green Carbon Dioxide offers engineers, chemists, andmanagers in the chemical and energy and fuel industries aremarkable new perspective, demonstrating how CO2 canplay a significant role in the development of a sustainableEarth.
