Synthesis and Characterization of Sba-15 and Cu/Sba-15 Catalysts for Photoreduction of Carbon Dioxide

The greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated in all directions.The increasing concentrations of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, where the major contribution comes from carbon dioxide (CO...
