Contributing to carbon neutrality through CO2 fixation technology using Ca/Mg-containing wastes as raw materials! Related patents
The CO2 fixation technologies so far typically employ alkaline earth metals to fix CO2 by converting it into chemically stable carbonate minerals. However, the conventional technologies are difficult to apply on a large scale because of its slow reaction rate, high cost and potential environmental concerns due to the use of a large amount of pH adjusters. This invention discloses a novel CO2 fixation process that enables to run under 100°C and ambient pressure without using large amounts of pH adjusters. It can run continuously at low cost by regenerating and recycling of the chelating agent (e.g., GLDA) solution within the process. This invention also enables the production of high-purity carbonates, such as CaCO3, and oxides, such as silica, by using Ca/Mg-containing wastes, including combustion ash, waste concrete, and slag, as Ca/Mg sources. The chemicals obtained in this sustainable CO2 fixation technology, such as CaCO3, are expected to be used in industries such as pigments, rubber, and desiccants.
