Mineral carbonation is one of the safest permanent carbon dioxide sequestration methods. Carbon Capture & Utilization (CCU) is a process that utilizes available resources by removing carbon dioxide in a method of mineral carbonation. It can be applied to industries producing high carbon dioxide emissions. This study aims to investigate the absorption performance of carbon dioxide at high concentrations. Calcium hydroxide suspension was used as an absorbent. In addition, NaOH and Mg(OH)2 were used as additives. Carbon dioxide removal efficiency with NaOH increased from 30% to 90% when the additive amount was increased from 1wt% to 3wt%. In the case of Mg(OH)2, carbon dioxide absorption efficiency was minimal regardless of the additive amount. In addition, the solid byproducts werec onfirmed by X-ray diffraction spectra and SEM images.

The combined effect of carbonation and chloride ingress in concrete is studied in this paper.

Several sets of experimental data were compared with the prediction by the numerical model developed in this paper, for its verification.

In this study is investigated nano-modified sulfur concrete carbonation resistance. Weight fraction of nano-modified sulfur are 0%, 3%, and 5% by cement's weight. The experiment result showed that there seem to be similarity in compressive strength according to weight fraction. and, the increase in nano-modified sulfur content enhanced concrete's carbonation resistance.

In reinforced concrete (RC) structures, concrete carbonation depth is an important criterion for the deterioration of durability of RC structures. Concrete carbonation is influenced by multiple factors such as chloride attack, crack, concrete compressive strength, etc. However, due to its complex mechanism, most previous studies considered only one or two deterioration factors to estimate the concrete carbonation depth. In this study, therefore, inspection data were collected from 8 buildings, and the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) algorithm that estimates the concrete carbonation depth of RC structures has been proposed. The proposed ANFIS model provided good estimations on the carbonation depths.

According to a report ‘2012 Present Condition of National Household Refuse Resource Recovery Facility’, about 582,178 tons/year of household refuse were processed in the incineration plant, and 465,087 tons/year of bottom ash and 117,091 tons/year of fly ash were produced respectively. As incineration ash contains many kind of heavy metals such as soluble salt, copper and lead, it may lead to the leaching potential of heavy metals according to the environmental change, so it requires special care in landfill and recycling. In this study CO2 was injected into the bottom ash, so that environmental stability such as leaching of heavy metals was reduced and increased the possibility of CO2 fixation ability of the bottom ash was analyzed. Bottom ash of the household refuse incineration plant of I City was used as the sample of the fixation ability particle size was divided into 3 sections to analyze its components before and after carbonation using XRF. Stability of the sample was identified by the leaching test through KSLT and TCLP, and CO2 fixation ability by the DT-TGA analysis. Test results of the fixation ability shows that stabilization of the bottom ash produced in the household refuse incineration plant by carbonation is evaluated as there is little environmental problem caused by heavy metals when it is utilized into the recycled aggregate, and economic profits can be expected due to securing new agents of the supply and demand for the recycled aggregates, the greenhouse gas emission reduction by CO2 fixation.

Steel slag has been used as the alternative binder to replace Portland cement that furthermore used as in construction and/or for stabilization/solidification of heavy metals in mine soil. One of the treatments to modify the leaching behavior of the mine soil is by carbonation. The purpose of this study was to assess the potential of carbonation in various steel slags. Based on chemical and mineralogical characterization of four kinds of slag that were used in this study, it showed that all slags had high potential for reacting with CO2 that was in accordance with the high CaO and MgO content. CO2 sequestration by aqueous carbonation of several kinds of stainless steel slags with different liquid to solid ratio was investigated in this study. The effect of chemical properties and reaction time on the performance of the carbonation process was also investigated. Converter slag, blast furnace slag (BFS) and ladle furnace slag (LFS) were used. Carbonation experiment was conducted in a closed reactor under the conditions; 1bar, 400rpm and 25℃, with solid to liquid ratios of 0.4, 0.6 and 1.0. Carbonation kinetic test was relatively fast and completed within 5 hours. The CO2 consumption increased when the liquid to solid ratio increased because of the dilution effect. Our results showed that the higher CaO and MgO contents in the slag, the higher CO2 consumption was observed. Pohang converter slag and Dangjin LFS showed slightly different tendency. At L/S ratio 0.4, Pohang slag with higher CaO and MgO content had higher CO2 consumption than Dangjin LFS. As the water content increased, Dangjin LFS had higher CO2 consumption than Pohang converter slag that was caused by the texture of Dangjin LFS with smaller particle size than Pohang converter slag. However, both Pohang BFS and Dangjin BFS have poor capacity in CO2 sequestration.

현재 전 세계적으로 자연적, 인위적 요인으로 인하여 이상기후가 나타나고 있다. 이상기후의 대표적인 것으로 슈퍼태풍, 극한폭설, 폭염과 같은 극한 기후현상이 초래된다. 1970년대 산업화 시대 이후 급격하게 지구의 온도가 상승하는 것을 알 수 있으며, 이로 인하여 발생하는 가장 큰 문제점은 지구 온난화이다. 지구 온난화에 영향을 미치는 온실가스의 종류로는 이산화탄소, 과불화탄소, 아산화질소, 메탄과 같은 다양한 종류의 화학성분이 존재하며 특히 이산화탄소가 약 90%의 비중을 차지하는 것을 알 수 있다. 콘크리트의 경우 건설재료로써 탁월한 내구성능을 지니고 있으며, 사회기반시설물 건설 재료로 70%이상 사용되고 있다. 그러나 콘크리트는 타설직후 물리·화학적으로 다양한 환경조건으로부터 성능저하 현상이 발생하기도 한다. 특히 대기중의 이산화탄소는 콘크리트 알칼리도 저하에 따른 철근을 부식시키고 내구성 저하를 초래하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 풍속, 일조시간에 관하여 양생 한 후 콘크리트의 탄산화 실험을 접목시켜 탄산화 깊이와 탄산화 속도 계수를 측정하고 이를 바탕으로 만족도 확률 곡선을 통하여 성능중심평가(Performance Based Evaluation(PBE))를 수행 할 것이다.

Mineral carbonation using alkali industrial waste is an eco-friendly, economic technology used not only to reuse waste but also to store carbon dioxide. Alkali waste such as slag, cement waste, and coal ash has been mainly used as a raw material required for the technology. Many studies have been conducted to find optimal conditions for Ca/Mg extraction and carbonation with various extraction solvents under different temperatures, pressures of carbon dioxide, ratios of liquid to solid, and reaction times. Furthermore, in order to secure economic feasibility, there have been recent attempts to proceed the mineral carbonation at the room temperature and atmospheric pressure, to recover highly pure carbonate salts, and to reuse the extraction solvent. We expect that future researches will be in quest of economically storing as much carbon dioxide as possible by developing raw materials and carbonation technologies which provide high carbonation efficiency. In this article, we have reviewed recently published domestic and international research papers and then classified them according to the kind of industrial waste and the carbonation technology (direct and indirect carbonations).

Carbon dioxide has steadily increased in atmosphere since the industrial revolution, and it is the main cause of the global warming. In this study, carbon dioxide is stored in the form of insoluble calcium carbonate through indirect carbonation using paper sludge ash (PSA) as a raw material and acids (acetic acid and hydrochloric acid) as solvents. Acid is very efficient to extract calcium from PSA, which is as high as 55%. However, since the pH of calcium extractant obtained using acid is as low as 6 and carbon dioxide is not present in the form of CO32- at the low pH, carbonation reaction does not occur to form calcium carbonate. Sodium hydroxide, therefore, is added into the calcium extractant to increase pH up to 13. The amount of sodium hydroxide is calculated based on the equivalent of calcium in the extractant. Then, carbon dioxide is injected into the calcium extractant for 30 minutes at a flow rate of 0.05 L/min. The calcium extractant is prepared in advance using 40 g of PSA and 1L of 0.7 M acid, and 35mL of 50% sodium hydroxide is added into the extractant to adjust pH. During carbonation, liquid samples are taken at designated intervals to measure pH and calcium concentration. After the carbonation is completed, white solids are collected to dry at 105℃ for 12 hours, which weigh 30.0 g and 33.1 g from the extractants using acetic acid and hydrochloric acid, respectively. The white solids are found to be highly pure calcite by XRD analysis. Based on the solid mass, the amounts of carbon dioxide sequestrated in PSA are calculated to be 330.4 kg CO2/ton PSA and 363.7 kg CO2/ton PSA using acetic acid and hydrochloric acid as solvents, respectively.

By adding calcium oxide solution into the carbon dioxide saturated solution, carbonated recycled aggregate was formed. To verify the physical properties of products, XRD analysis was performed and SEM images were obtained.
