Adsorption of carbon dioxide on ammonia-treated carbon coated monolith

Due to the greenhouse effect, the reduction and recovery technology of carbon dioxide has become an important research topic nowadays. In addition to the researches on the use of carbon dioxide as a reactant, the recovery and concentration of carbon dioxide from waste gas are the key issues. The ads...
