Inhaltsangabe

This book provides an analysis of the reaction mechanisms relevant to a number of processes in which CO2 is converted into valuable products. Several different processes are considered that convert CO2 either in specialty chemicals or in bulk products or fuels. For each reaction, the mechanism is discussed and the assessed steps besides the dark sites of the reaction pathway are highlighted. From the insertion of CO2 into E-X bonds to the reduction of CO2 to CO or other C1 molecules or else to C2 or Cn molecules, the reactions are analysed in order to highlight the known and obscure reaction steps. Besides well known reaction mechanisms and energy profiles, several lesser known situations are discussed. Advancing knowledge of the latter would help to develop efficient routes for the conversion of CO2 into valuable products useful either in the chemical or in the energy industry. The content of this book is quite different from other books reporting the use of CO2. On account of its clear presentation, “Reaction Mechanisms in Carbon Dioxide Conversion” targets in particular researchers, teachers and PhD students.

His scientific interests include the chemistry of small molecules (N2, H2, O2, CO, CO2, olefins) and metals in low-negative oxidation state, reaction mechanisms, catalysis, photocatalysis and utilization of biomass for the production of new bio-sourced monomers for polymeric materials. He is theauthor of over 350 papers in peer-reviewed international journals and 12 books on CO2 and biomass valorization and holds several patents. He was awarded several national and international awards. Angela Dibenedetto is Professor of Inorganic Chemistry and Catalysis at the University of Bari, UNIBA (IT) - Department of Chemistry. Her scientific interests are carbon dioxide utilization in synthetic chemistry, catalysis, coordination chemistry and organometallic chemistry, green chemistry, marine biomass (algae) production by enhanced carbon dioxide fixation, marine biomass as source of fuels and chemicals applying the biorefinery concept, photocatalysis. She is Director of the Interuniversity Consortium on Chemical Reactivity and Catalysis - CIRCC, Vice Chair of the International Conference on Carbon Dioxide Utilization ICCDU since 2013 and component of the "Network of Sustainable Universities". She is the author of over 150 scientific papers published in internationaljournals since 1995 and several book chapters. She was Invited Speaker at several international conferences. Her current h-index is 39 with over 7600 citations (Google Scholar).
