  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS UTILIZING ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF CARBON DIOXIDE FOR SEQUESTRATION
    Publication number: 20240425412
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for use of carbon dioxide, such as carbon dioxide containing one or more contaminants, e.g., produced in processes where the carbon dioxide comes directly or indirectly from the atmosphere, in one or more systems to perform one or more processes that binds the carbon dioxide or one or more carbon dioxide reaction products with one or more reactants to produce one or more carbon dioxide sequestration products, for example, products that permanently sequester the carbon dioxide.

  • Carbon dioxide treatment of concrete upstream from product mold
    Patent number: 10654191
    Abstract: Fresh concrete is treated with carbon dioxide prior to delivery to a product mold for forming concrete products. Carbon dioxide gas is directed through a manifold, which may be coupled to a feedbox or a hopper, upstream from the product mold. Treating the fresh concrete with the carbon dioxide gas while it is in a loose state prior to placement in the product mold may generally promote uniform and enhanced carbon dioxide uptake.
