Description

Advances and Technology Development in Greenhouse Gases: Emission, Capture and Conversion: Process Modelling and Simulation is a comprehensive series that discusses the composition and properties of greenhouse gases and introduces different sources of greenhouse gas emission and the relation between greenhouse gases and global warming. The comprehensive and detailed presentation of common technologies, as well as novel research related to all the aspects of greenhouse gases, makes this work an indispensable encyclopedic resource for researchers in academia and industry.

Advances and Technology Development in Greenhouse Gases: Emission, Capture and Conversion: Process Modelling and Simulation reviews modeling studies of GHG emissions and surveys the details of carbon capture modeling with several well-developed processes such as absorbers, swing technologies, and microstructures. It addresses modeling of geological and ocean storage, and reviews simulation studies of the chemical conversion of carbon dioxide to any valuable materials. This book summarizes essential information required in the simulation and modeling of the processes that are beneficial in carbon capture, storage, or conversion.
