  • Patent number: 9005553
    Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for solidifying and converting carbon dioxide into carbonate, comprising: an alkali component extraction reactor for extracting an alkali metal component from a raw slag; a carbonation reactor for injecting carbon dioxide into an alkali metal component solution containing the extracted alkali metal component to produce a carbonate precipitate from the alkali metal component solution; a first filtration device connected between the alkali component extraction reactor and the carbonation reactor to separate a post-treatment slag, from which the alkali component is extracted, from the alkali metal component solution; and a second filtration device connected between an inlet of the alkali component extraction reactor and an outlet of the carbonation reactor to separate the carbonate from the alkali metal component solution after the carbonation reaction.

  • Publication number: 20140377141
    Abstract: A method and system of fixing carbon dioxide is provided. After metal ion components are extracted from, e.g., natural mineral or steel slag through acid treatment, carbon dioxide is injected to fix carbon dioxide by carbonating the same. Since the procedure of pH adjustment is unnecessary, the reaction is carried out effectively and a continuous process is enabled. Accordingly, the disclosed method of fixing carbon dioxide enables effective removal of carbon dioxide produced from the steelmaking industry, thereby significantly reducing greenhouse gas emission and allowing recycling of the discarded steel slag.

  • Publication number: 20130064752
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for carbon dioxide fixation, which comprises extracting an alkali metal component from a raw slag in a first reactor by using an ammonium salt solvent to produce a solution containing the extracted alkali metal component and then reacting the solution with carbon dioxide in a second reactor to produce a carbonate precipitate. With this method, an alkali metal component can be extracted and a carbonate precipitate can be obtained in a simpler and cost-effective manner, among others.
