도시생활폐기물소각재(MSWI ash)을 매립하게 되면 장기적으로 중금속이 침출된다. 급속탄산화를 통하여 MSWI ash 내의 중금속을 탄산염 형태로 고정하여, 중장기적으로 침출을 방지할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 급속 탄산화 방법을 통하여 소각재인 fly ash의 중금속 저감 및 이산화탄소 저감에 대해 수행하였다. NH4OH, NH4SCN, 및Ca(OH)2를 이용하여 test 하였으며, 소각재의 중금속을 탄산화 전, 후를 비교하여 중금속이 침출량을 비교 하였다. 추가적으로 이산화탄소가 fly ash에 포집된 이산화탄소 저감량을 나타내면서 이산화탄소 흡수제의 재사용 가능성을 확인하였다. 흡수제를 재생하는 과정에서 나온 CO32-이온에 의해 탄산화 된 금속염들의 성분 분석을 위해, XRD (X-ray diffraction analyzer(Ultima Ⅳ))를 사용하였다. 그리고 FE-SEM(Field emission scanning electron microscope, JEOL-7800)으로 filtering후 건조시킨 샘플과 fly ash의 표면구조를 촬영하고 비교하였다.

In order to cope with some drawbacks of conventional CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) technologies, the new way to deal carbon dioxide have been studied a lot. One way to deal emitted carbon dioxide is to convert carbon dioxide into metal carbonate salt which can be used for various purposes such as raw materials for construction, additives for paper-making industries and so on. In this method, securing the source for metal cation is important and in this research, concentrated industrial wastewater was used to supply metal cation. In the wastewater, calcium and magnesium ions were dissolved and this could make cpatured carbon dioxide to be converted to metal carbonate salts. As a result of the chemical conversion, the amount of carbon dioxide converted to the precipitated salts and the crystal structures of them were suggested. To verify the crystal structures and the composition of salt mixtures, Scanning Electron Microscope and X-Ray Diffraction analysis were utilized.

Many researchers around the worlds are getting their attention on developing carbon dioxide reduction technologies. In this research, the method to utilize captured carbon dioxide was suggested using industrial wastewater which was produced from refined salt production process. High concentrations of metal carbonates such as calcium, magnesium and so on were contained in them and it could lead to carbon fixation which can lead to utilization of precipitated salts for various purposes. In this research, 30 wt% of monoethanolamine, diethanolamine and methyl-diethanolamine solutions were used as absorbents and precipitated salts were produced as final product. Using X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscope, crystal structures of the products were verified.

The concentration of carbon dioxide in atmosphere is gradually increasing as industrial activity is being facilitated. Since most of the industries are getting their energy from fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and gas, carbon dioxide production is inevitable. However, by applying suitable carbon capture process at the end of the carbon dioxide emission facilities, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted to atmosphere can be significantly reduced. Thus, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies have been developed by many nations. In that technology, captured carbon dioxide is stored in deep ocean or the underground holes. However, considering environmental effects and geological distinct characteristics, CCS technologies are thought to be developed finding new way to handle captured carbon dioxide. One of the method is to turn captured carbon dioxide into precipitated calcium carbonate salt by adding calcium ions. Conventionally, calcium carbonate salt formation is achieved by reaction under high pressure and temperature. However, this method requires large amount of energy to maintain reaction condition. Hence, carbon dioxide reduction and utilization technology through carbon fixation or carbonation in aqueous phase is proposed in this research. Using aqueous absorbent, carbon dioxide is captured and precipitated calcium carbonate salt was formed by adding calcium ions. All of the reaction occurred under ambient temperature and pressure (1 atm, 298.15 K). The amount of carbon dioxide reduction as well as yield of precipitated calcium carbonate salt were considered. Also, through instrumental analysis including Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X‐Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), possibility of final product utilization was investigated.

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.
