Description
Book SynopsisCarbon dioxide sequestration is a technology that is being explored to curb the anthropogenic emission of CO 2 into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide has been implicated in the global climate change and reducing it is a potential solution.
Trade Review"Each separately readable chapter is structured in introduction, experimentals, results and discussion. This allows a structured understanding. Although this book does not solve all the questions raised when talking about safety and reliability of CCS-technology, it provides a base of knowledge. Increased research on this questions contributes to a tremendous extension of current knowledge, basing on this publication." (Materials & Corrosion, 1 November 2012)
