Abstract

Using inorganic solid adsorbents/sorbents is a promising approach for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and is attracting intense attention from both academic and industrial fields.

Pre-combustion Carbon Dioxide Capture Materials presents a range of the different inorganic materials that can be used as pre-combustion CO2 adsorbents/sorbents with specific emphasis on their design, synthesis, characterization, performance, and mechanism. Dedicated chapters cover layered double hydroxide (LDH) derived adsorbents, MgO-based adsorbents, CaO-based sorbents and alkali ceramics based sorbents.

Edited and written by world-renowned scientists in each class of CO2 capture material, this book will provide a comprehensive introduction for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers wishing to learn about the topic.
