Recovering Carbon Dioxide from Man-Made Sources: Proceedings of a Workshop Held at Pacific Grove, California on 11 February 1985

摘要

This report is one of several that present results obtained by an Argonne National Laboratory program, Systems Analysis for Waste Carbon Dioxide Utilization. The program includes engineering research - as well as economic and institutional assessments - dealing with issues related to the supply and use of waste carbon dioxide. Studies of supply options emphasize a new method, being investigated by Argonne, of recovering the carbon dioxide that now escapes from smokestacks; this method would avoid the emission of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides, believed to be precursors to acid rain. Studies of use options relate primarily to increased exploitation of carbon dioxide for enhanced oil recovery. This report constitutes the proceedings of a workshop, ''Recovering Carbon Dioxide from Man-Made Sources,'' sponsored by the US Department of Energy and by Argonne National Laboratory. Held at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California, on February 11-13, 1985, the workshop focused on the state of the art of carbon dioxide recovery, industry's perceptions of research needs, and economic and institutional barriers to long-range research. All papers have been processed for inclusion in th Energy Data Base. (ERA citation 11:012671)
