Provides an engaging and clearly structured source of information on the capture and storage of
CO2 Designed to bridge the gap between the many disciplines involved in carbon dioxide emission
management this book provides a comprehensive yet easy-to-understand introduction to the
subject of CO2 capture. Fit for graduate students practicing process engineers and others
interested in the subject it offers a clear understanding and overview of thermal power plants
in particular and of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) in general.Carbon Dioxide
Emission Management in Power Generation starts with a discussion of the greenhouse effect
climate change and CO2 emissions as the rationale for the concept of CCS. It then looks at the
long-term storage of CO2. A chapter covering different fossil fuels their usage and
properties comes next followed by sections on: CO2 generation usage and properties power
plant technologies theory of gas separation power plant efficiency calculations and
classification of CO2 capture methods. Other chapters examine: CO2 capture by gas absorption
and other gas separation methods removing carbon from the fuel pre- and post-combustion CO2
capture in power cycles and oxy-combustion CO2 capture in power cycles.-Discusses both CO2
capture technologies as well as power generation technologies-Bridges the gap between many
different disciplines?from scientists geologists and engineers to economists-One of the few
books that covers all the different sciences involved in the capture and storage of CO2
-Introduces the topic and provides useful information to the academic as well as professional
readerCarbon Dioxide Emission Management in Power Generation is an excellent book for students
who are interested in CO2 capture and storage as well as for chemists in industry
environmental chemists chemical engineers geochemists and geologists.
