Abstract:
CO2 mineralization has attracted significant attention as a permanent carbon sequestration technology. However, research on the use of coal gasification slag(CGS), a large-scale alkaline solid waste, for CO? mineralization is limited. This study selects coal gasification slag from the Naomaohu area in Xinjiang as the raw material and conducts experiments on CO? sequestration and mineralization using a direct aqueous phase method. The effects of reaction temperature, initial pressure, liquid-solid ratio, reaction time, and reaction atmosphere on mineralization efficiency and CO? absorption rate are explored. The optimal mineralization conditions for coal gasification slag are determined, and the mechanism of direct aqueous mineralization of coal gasification slag is elucidated. The results show that the gasification slag is rich in alkaline elements such as Ca2+, Na+, and Fe3+, with CaO content?of?up?to 18.89%, primarily in the form of limestone (CaCO3) and gehlenite (Ca2Al2SiO7). Increasing reaction temperature significantly improves mineralization efficiency and CO2 absorption rate,
