About this title

Review

"Most of the 25 papers are from a symposium at the Society's March 2000 meeting in San Francisco, which was called to investigate potential measures for conserving and utilizing carbon dioxide to mitigate or prevent its known greenhouse effects in the atmosphere. After a general overview, they discuss the synthesis of organic chemicals, CO2 reduction over heterogeneous catalysts, synthesis gas production from CO2 reforming, the effects of pressure and reactor types on CO2 reforming, photocatalytic and electrochemical reduction, and the use of supercritical CO2 fluid. The studies are by active research groups from academic, government, and industrial laboratories."--SciTech Book News
