Process Intensification for Carbon Capture and Utilization

Process Intensification for Carbon Capture and Utilization provides a comprehensive review of carbon dioxide capture and utilization (CCU) technologies from a process engineering approach, focusing on process intensification to enhance sustainability and efficient chemical process and process design. Sections provide a brief theoretical overview of CCU process design and then build to practical guidance – offering case studies and real-world applications for achieving environmental sustainability goals, reduction of carbon emissions, and the creation of value-added products from captured CO2. Chapters also highlight advancements in methodologies and tools of Process Systems Engineering (PSE) for the design of CCU processes, including outlines and worked examples. This book is suitable for a wide audience in academia and industry interested in CCU technologies, and will be valuable for students, research scientists, engineers, and practitioners seeking an overview or in-depth knowledge on CCU. Additionally, the book's content can be used as teaching resources for advanced courses.
