Climate Change and Carbon Recycling: Surface Chemistry Applications describes the application of surface chemistry methods for carbon capture and recycling in relation to climate change and atmospheric CO2 levels. The text is suitable for online education, with both basic and educational descriptions of the climate change process and carbon recycling methods like the adsorption and absorption of CO2 on solids. This book leads to a better understanding of a complex phenomenon and highlight the importance of CO2 capture and sequestration for the future to enable the utilization of fossil fuels without contributing to atmospheric greenhouse gases.

Dr. K.S. Birdi studied at ( B.Sc. (Hons)) Delhi University, Delhi, India, and in 1952, he then traveled to the U.S. for further studies, majoring in chemistry at the University of California at Berkeley. After graduation in 1957, he joined Standard Oil of California, Richmond.
Dr. Birdi moved to Copenhagen in 1959, where he joined Lever Bros., as Chief-Chemist, Development Laboratory. During this period he became interested in surface chemistry and joined, as assistant professor, the Institute of Physical Chemistry (founder of institute: Professor J. Broensted), Danish Technical University, Lyngby, Denmark, in 1966. He initially did research on surface science aspects (e.g. detergents; micelle formation; adsorption; biophysics). During the early exploration and discovery stages of oil and gas in the North Sea, he got involved in Research Science Foundation programs, with other Research Institutes around Copenhagen, in the oil recovery phenomena and surface science. Later, research grants on the same subject were awarded from the European Union projects. These projects also involved extensive visits to other universities and an exchange of guests from all over the world. Dr. Birdi was appointed Research Professor in 1985 (Nordic Science Foundation), and was then appointed, in 1990 ( retired in 1999), to the School of Pharmacy, Copenhagen, as professor in Physical Chemistry.
There was continuous involvement with various industrial contract research programs through- out these years. These projects have actually been a very important source of information in keeping up with real world problems, and helped in the guidance of research planning at all levels.
