Carbon Capture

Carbon Capture takes an interdisciplinary approach with in-depth discussion based on fundamental concepts, ranging from the chemical physics associated with a given material that binds CO2, to the unit operations of the process, closely coupled by mass transfer. The core chapters pay significant att...
