tackling one of the most prominent problems of the twenty-first century, i.e. CO 2
capture and conversion. In this regard, several state-of-the-art CO 2 conversion processes to dimethyl ether, methanol and chemicals using catalyst materials have been
discussed. Besides, CO 2 capture technologies using ionic liquids and deep eutectic
solvents have been elaborated. Besides, catalytic materials for olefins polymerization and stability and destabilization of water-in-crude oil emulsion have been discussed. We understand that volume II will serve as reference materials for
academicians working on materials synthesis and scientists and engineers working
in the refining and petrochemical industries. Moreover, volume II will also serve as
a ready to refer valuable resource for early career researchers and established
researchers from chemical engineering, chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology,
mechanical engineering and interdisciplinary areas of research.
The overall flow and content is the outcome of several rounds of discussion,
reviews and revisions. Therefore, the editors are highly indebted to all the reviewers
for their precious time, thoughtful comments and valuable suggestions without
which it would not have been possible to reach this stage. The editors would also
like to thank all the authors for their patience during several rounds of revisions and
timely responses. The editors would also like to sincerely thank Springer Nature for
timely publication of the book and highly indebted to the Springer Nature team
members especially Mr. Dinesh Vinayagam (Production Editor), Mr. Aaron Schiller,
Mr. Joseph Quatela, and Ms. Amelie von Zumbusch for their constant support
throughout the process starting from proposal stage to final book publication. The
editors would like to thank and acknowledge the support of their lab members Dr.
Shireen Quereshi and Mr. Prashant Ram Jadhao for their backend work, follow up
with contributors, maintaining the record of all the documents and assistance in
chapters review from the time of proposal to the publication of both the books. The
editors are also highly indebted and obliged to their family members for their
patience, care and unconditional support to complete both the volumes of the book.
