Carbon Capture
First authored book on the fundamental aspects of carbon capture Covers a diverse range of issues, such as thermodynamics, kinetics, mass transfer, and material properties Policymaker-friendly summaries are included at the end of each chapter
Carbon Capturetakes an interdisciplinary approach with in-depth discussion based onfundamental 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 attention to the pedagogy associated with absorption, adsorption, and membrane separation processes for CO2capture and include many worked examples and end-of-chapter problems.This book provides the reader with the skillset needed to recognize the limitations of traditional gas separation technologies in the context of CO2capture, and how they may be advanced to meet the scale challenge required to substantially decrease CO2emissions. From Robert Socolow, Princeton University: This comprehensive textbook on carbon dioxide capture, the first one ever, has arrived at a pivotal moment. Removing carbon dioxide from gas mixtures in new and cheaper ways is the key to an energy system responsive to the threat of climate change yet respectful of the merits of coal and natural gas. Wilcoxs book will usher a new generation of students into this critical field. From Sally Benson, Stanford University: Deeply examining the processes, materials, and systems underpinning carbon capture is essential for improving existing capture technologies, and even more importantly, provides the foundation for disruptive innovations that can make Carbon Capture and Storage a reality. Wilcox's book is a treasure trove of fundamental scientific knowledge that breaks carbon capture down into its essential building blocks.
