Any mention of the "greenhouse effect" tends to ignite controversy. While the rising atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases-especially carbon dioxide- are certainly among the most pressing issues today, theoretical and perceived consequences have been subject to conjecture and misinformation. That raging debate has obscured an important fact: scientists and engineers are hard at work on methods to reduce CO2 emissions, and devise practical methods for their remediation. Greenhouse Gas Carbon Dioxide Mitigation: Science and Technology sheds light on the most recent advancements, documented by two of the world's leading researchers on CO2. Aware of the complexity and still-unknown factors behind climatic change, the authors consider the need to make CO2 mitigation viable for both environmental and economic gain. To that end, Professor Halmann offers new insights into interesting chemical pathways for the conversion of CO2 to useful products. Steinberg adds real-life engineering solutions, applicable to heavy CO2-producing industrial processes, and improving efficiency of energy conversion. Exciting theories and pilot projects are also testing the potential for CO2 utilization, conversion, reduction, and disposal. Greenhouse Gas Carbon Dioxide Mitigation: Science and Technology reports on the use of biomass, such as ocean fertilization and "energy farms," to put CO2 to practical and safe use. Professional and academic readers involved with CO2 research will find Greenhouse Gas Carbon Dioxide Mitigation: Science and Technology an invaluable roadmap for information and inspiration-a way to move beyond argument, and into action.

Photodegradation of Water Pollutants, the only complete survey
available of current photocatalytic methods for treating water
pollutants, covers all aspects of light-stimulated detoxification.
Ideal for researchers and students, this new book explains methods
for pollution treatment that have proven more effective than
conventional biodegradation.
Chemical Fixation of Carbon Dioxide presents new concepts and
results from research into the problems caused by increasing levels
of carbon dioxide. The book discusses the limitations of natural
plant photosynthesis as a sink for carbon dioxide and emphasizes
chemical fixation as an important alternative. A number of
significant topics are covered, including new coupling reactions
for producing compounds such as carbamates, urethanes, and
heterocyclic structures; new catalyst systems, particularly for
methanation and methanol synthesis; the use of homogeneous solution
photosensitizers and heterogeneous semiconductor photocatalysts to
photoreduce carbon dioxide with visible light and sunlight; and
electrochemical reduction.
