Short description
Edited by an internationally renowned researcher, this comprehensive and up-to-date handbook closely investigates the use of CO2 for ureas, enzymes, carbamates, and isocyanates, as well as its use as a solvent, in electrochemistry, biomass utilization and much more.

From the contents
The carbon dioxide problem and the contribution of the utilisation option to the reduction of the CO2-accumulation in the atmosphere
Utilization of dense carbon dioxide as inert solvent for chemical synthesis
Autotrophic carbon fixation in biology. Pathways, rules, and speculations
Carbon dioxide co-ordination chemistry and reactivity of co-ordinated CO2
Main Group elements- and transition metal-promoted carboxylation of organic substrates (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatics and others)
The chemistry of N-CO2 bonds. Synthesis of carbamic acids and their derivatives, isocyanates and ureas
Synthesis of linear and cyclic carbonates
Polymers from carbon Dioxide. Polycarbonates, Polythiocarbonates, and Polyurethanes
In-situ Study on Carbon Deposition during CO2 Reforming of Methane for Synthesis Gas Production Using Tapered Element Oscillation Microbalance
Utilization of Carbon Dioxide through Non-thermal Plasma Approaches
Photochemical, Electrochemical, and Photoelectrochemical Reduction of CO2
Recent scientific and technological developments in the electrochemical carboxylation based on carbon dioxide
Indirect utilization of CO2
Fixation of CO2 into inorganic carbonates
