Interfacial Science for Geosystems Engineers links traditional geosystems engineering with technical advances in emerging energy topics. This text delivers critical research, analysis and application of CO2 sequestration in underground formations. This critical reference also addresses problems related to H2 storage, both timely topics central to the Energy Transition. Packed with latest research and recent developments, chapter learning objectives, practice problems, future implications, and illustrative diagrams, schematics, flowcharts, tables and charts throughout, this specialized volume will address carbon sequestration and hydrogen storage through geosystems engineering, surface and interfacial tension, capillarity, surfactants, surface free energy, adsorption, electrokinetics, colloidal stability, equilibrium and stability of thin liquid films, wettability, microemulsions, emulsions and foams, and polymers for subsurface applications. Useful as a teaching or training text, this book prepares today's energy engineer to tackle two pressing problems in the areas of interface and colloid/nano-dispersion physics and chemistry by introducing rapid developments on how to remove CO2 from our environment and how to wean ourselves off fossil energy while meeting growing energy demands.
