Description
Description
Carbon Dioxide Utilization: From Synthetic Chemistry to Global Sustainability provides a comprehensive exploration of the emerging developments, bridging fundamental concepts, cutting-edge research, and industrial implementation, thereby offering readers an in-depth understanding of the exciting and rapidly evolving field of CO₂ utilization.
The book provides readers with detailed insights into the versatile applications of CO₂, its role in carboxylation and heterocycle synthesis, and its catalytic hydrogenation into methanol and formic acid. Emerging technologies such as microwave plasma conversion, artificial enzyme mimics, and microbial pathways are thoroughly discussed, alongside applications in biomass utilization, polymer processing, and MOF-based catalysis. In addition, the volume explores the industrial potential of supercritical CO₂ across food, textiles, pharmaceuticals, wastewater treatment, and energy recovery, as well as its role in carbon capture, storage, and next-generation energy systems like CO₂ batteries and Brayton cycles. With highly skilled experts, this work highlights both current practices and future perspectives, including artificial photosynthesis, to show how CO₂ utilization can contribute to sustainability and global climate solutions.
