Mineral carbonation, the return technology of Carbon dioxide into the Nature as a generating source, has been studied by advanced countries. Industrial by-products can be used as economical resource for mineral carbonation. This study is intended as an investigation of effluent recycling of liquid carbonation with carbon dioxide fixation using industrial by-products. The nitrogen and carbon dioxide was used by mixing the same as the exhaust gas concentration 15vol%. Carbon dioxide absorbent was used as Mono Ethanol Amine (MEA) concentration of 5~30wt% and then concentration of carbon dioxide absorption were analyzed. After carbonation reaction, Concentration of dissolved inorganic cations and conversion of carbonation were analyzed by ion chromatography, thermogravimetric, x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope(SEM). Effluent was recycled MEA and water using RO system. These results Confirmed potential of CO2 reduction and Utilization of carbonation using industrial by-products.

In this study, we examined the liquid carbonation reaction using recycled aggregates as an industrial by-products. This research deals with carbon fixation with a precipitation reaction utilizing 5 wt% and 30 wt% alkanolamine absorbents in an aqueous calcium oxide solution. Unlike carbon fixation operated at high temperature and pressure that consumes a lot of energy, we conducted experiments at moderate temperature (303.15 K) and pressure (1 atm). 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.

In this work, we constructed the sulfur polymer cement(SPC) concrete using coal bottom ash from 4 thermal power stations in korea and investigated their practical data for production of industrial construction compounds. To manufacture the SPC concrete, we used batch concrete mixer with the heating jacket using hot oil. Also, coal bottom ash was used as a fine aggregate below 2 mm. When the SPC concrete were produced with diverse sulfur concentration (15, 20, 25, 30 wt%), compressive strength properties were analyzed. We got the compressive strength of the maximum 60 MPa. These experimental results could be effectively applied to the recycling technology of coal bottom ash.
