- Description
- Fly ash is a potential source of highly reactive feedstock for CO₂ mineral carbonation. It does not require pre-treatment, but it has a low carbonation rate and efficiency. To address these issues, we studied the carbonation performance and mechanism of a fly ash from Shenfu coal of China. The effects of temperature, solid to liquid ratio and gas flow rate on the carbonation efficiency of the fly ash were systematically investigated in a direct mineralisation process. Our results indicated that calcium in lime and portlandite had a higher reactivity towards CO₂ than that in other calcium bearing phases either crystalline or amorphous. Solely increasing the temperature did not improve carbonation efficiency. However, experiments in a batch reactor under elevated temperature (140, 180, and 220 °C) and pressure conditions (10 and 20 bar) using recyclable additives showed that a combination of high temperature and pressure significantly improved carbonation efficiency in the presence of 0.5 mol/L Na₂CO₃. Our multiple-cycle experiments showed that Na₂CO₃ facilitated the precipitation of calcium carbonate and was well regenerated in the process.
