- Abstract
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology can reduce CO2 emissions by 85 to 95% for power plants and kilns with high CO2 emissions. Among CCS technologies, carbon dioxide capture using steel slag is a method of carbonating minerals by combining oxidized metals in the slag, such as CaO, MgO, and SiO2, with CO2. This study assessed the amount of CO2 captured and the sequestration efficiency in operating a mineral carbonation plant with a CO2 capture capacity of 5 tons/day by treating the exhaust gas from a municipal waste incinerator and identified the characteristics of the mineral carbonation products. As a result, the average concentration of CO2 in the inflow and outflow gas during the reaction time was 10.0% and 1.1%, respectively, and the average CO2 sequestration efficiency was 89.7%. This resulted in a conversion rate of CaO of > 90%. This study manifested that mineral carbonation products are more stable than steel slag as a construction material and are effective at sequestering CO2 by forming chemically stable CaCO3.
