Description for Plasma Science and the Environment
Hardback. A monograph on the applications of plasma science to environmental issues in global and large-scale environmental processes, energy use and conservation, and waste treatment. Topics include ionospheric modification, atmospheric testing, convection towers, and plasma processing of waste. Num Pages: 354 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHFP; RNH; THRH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 20. Weight in Grams: 1500.
"Written by some of the world's foremost experts, the articles in this book show how plasma science can be applied to environmental problems, including atmospheric sensing and modification, energy conservation, reduction of air pollution, and processing of ordinary and radioactive wastes. Atmospheric CFC's might be zapped with big lasers. Urban air pollution could be removed by large convection towers built in or near cities. And weapons-grade plutonium can be destroyed with specially designed particle accelerators. Some of the technologies described here are in use already, while others are in the prototype stage, or are speculative approaches deserving of further study." ... Read more
