Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for continuous removal of carbon dioxide, the method comprising the steps of: a) preparing an aqueous solution containing an amine-based compound and an acidic calcium compound; b) bringing a gas containing carbon dioxide to be treated into contact with the aqueous solution to prepare a calcium carbonate precipitate; and c) recovering the calcium carbonate and then adding a basic calcium compound to the residual aqueous solution, wherein after step c), step b) and step c) are repeatedly performed. The removal of carbon dioxide by the method of the present invention has advantages of requiring low energy and being capable of mineralizing and removing carbon dioxide at a fast rate without a separate time for induction.
