  • Publication number: 20260048996
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) granules by feeding a volume of crushed limestone into a kiln, wherein the crushed limestone comprises an amount of calcium carbonate. The crushed limestone is heated, via the kiln, to at least 800° C. thereby causing a calcination reaction of the calcium carbonate. About 70.0-99.75% of available CO2 of the crushed limestone is liberated in the calcination reaction of the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) to calcium oxide (CaO). The liberated CO2 is captured in a pressurized container. The calcium oxide is cooled and stored in a container and/or a storage area. The calcium oxide is slaked by applying water along with agitation of the calcium oxide thereby making the calcium hydroxide granule.

  • Publication number: 20230048834
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, relate to a method for carbon capture from sea water. A first source of sea water into a reverse osmosis chamber. Reverse osmosis is performed on the sea water to produce fresh water and brine. The brine is provided to an electrolyzer. A current is passed through the brine and fresh water, thereby producing a hydroxide solution in a cathode chamber of the electrolyzer. The hydroxide solution is collected and placed into a contacting chamber and new sea water introduced. Precipitates are produced comprising at least calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate.
