Book synopsis

Carbon Dioxide Utilization: Closing the Carbon Cycle explores areas of application such as conversion to fuels, mineralization, conversion to polymers, and artificial photosynthesis while assessing the potential industrial suitability of the various processes. After an introduction to the thermodynamics, basic reactions, and physical chemistry of carbon dioxide, the book proceeds to examine current commercial and industrial processes, and the potential for carbon dioxide as a green and sustainable resource. While carbon dioxide is generally portrayed as a "bad" gas, a waste product, and a major contributor to global warming, a new branch of science is developing to convert this "bad" gas into useful products. This book explores the science behind converting CO2 into fuels for our cars and planes, plastics and foams to be used in our homes and cars, pharmaceuticals, building materials, and many more useful products. Carbon dioxide utilization is a rapidly expanding area of research, which holds a potential key to sustainable, petrochemical-free chemical production and energy integration. * Accessible and balanced between chemistry, engineering, and industrial applications* Informed by blue-sky thinking and realistic possibilities for future technology and applications* Encompasses supply chain sustainability and economics, processes, and energy integration
