CO2 Mineralization and Utilization via Accelerated Carbonation

Abstract

In recent years, CO2 emission control in a large-scaled industrial process has also drawn lots of attention due to climate change and global warming issues. For instance, to establish a sustainable resource cycle, an integrated multiwaste treatment via carbonation process has been proposed using CO2 in flue gas as a chemical to stabilize active components in alkaline solid wastes. In this chapter, the basic information regarding CO2 and carbon-related species is illustrated in terms of thermodynamics and process chemistry. In addition, the types of CO2 mineralization via carbonation are summarized and reviewed.
