Chemical Valorisation of Carbon Dioxide (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

The role of carbon dioxide in our changing climate is now hard to ignore, and many countries are making pledges to reduce or eliminate their carbon output. Chemical valorisation of carbon dioxide, as an alternative to sequestration, is likely to play an important part in reaching these targets, and as such is one of the fastest developing areas of green chemistry and chemical reaction engineering.

Providing a comprehensive panorama of recent advances in the methods and technologies for chemical valorisation of carbon dioxide, this book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in sustainability and green chemistry. Both the technological improvements in traditional processes and new methods and concepts are discussed, including various (renewable) electricity-based methods, as well as novel catalytic, photocatalytic and biocatalytic approaches.

Autor

Andrzej Stankiewicz is Emeritus Professor of Process Intensification at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands, and former Director of TU Delft Process Technology Institute. With more than 40 years of industrial and academic research experience he is author of numerous scientific publications on process intensification, chemical reaction engineering and industrial catalysis. He is principal author and co-editor of the world's first book on Process Intensification. Prof. Stankiewicz is Series Editor of the Green Chemistry Books Series (Royal Society of Chemistry), Editor-in-Chief of Chemical and Process Engineering (Polish Academy of Sciences) and former Editor of Chemical Engineering and Processing: Process Intensification (Elsevier). He was founder and first Chairman of the Working Party on Process Intensification at the European Federation of Chemical Engineering. He currently chairs the Board of the European Process Intensification Centre (EUROPIC). Current research interests of Prof. Stankiewicz focus on control of molecular interactions and intensification of chemical reactions using electricity-based energy fields (e.g. laser, microwave, UV). In this field, Professor Stankiewicz was awarded, among other things, the prestigious ERC Advanced Investigator Grant by the European Research Council, for carrying out research on "perfect chemical reactors". Georgios Stefanidis is Professor at the Chemical Engineering Departments of the National Technical University of Athens (Greece) and the University of Gent (Belgium). He is also visiting Professor at KU Leuven. He has co-authored 90 peer-review papers in the broad field of Process Intensification. His research activity includes modeling of simultaneously occurring flow, chemistry and multiscale transport phenomena in electromagnetic and plasma fields as well as design and development of tailored equipment for microwave- and plasma-assisted reaction and separation processes including, among others, CO2, CH4 and biomass valorization processes. He is currently Associate Editor of the Chemical Engineering and Processing: Process Intensification Journal (Elsevier), Vice-Chair of the EFCE Working Party on Process Intensification and serves on the management board of the Association of Microwave Power in Europe for Research and Education (AMPERE).
