Free webinar: Effects of water on Calcium Oxide and Cement Products
From Carbon Fixing to Building structures: Optimising the carbonation reaction conditions for a fast complete carbonation process.
Carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) is a process to utilise the captured carbon by finding suitable applications or converting into useful products such as plastics, concrete or biofuels etc. CCUS is strongly supported by the organisations across the globe to minimise the carbon footprints.
Heavy industries such as cement, steel, and chemicals are often seen as the major producers of greenhouse gasses, therefore, the flue gases produced from processes are mixed with waste byproducts to create a useful product. The carbonation extent and kinetics are influenced by the factors dependent on the base material physiochemical properties and carbonation reaction conditions. Optimising these conditions are the premises for the fast carbonation process.
Presenters: Dr Baldeep Kaur and Dr Sean McIntyre from Surface Measurement Systems
Baldeep Kaur will discuss about the fundamentals of the carbonation process and Sean McIntyre will present research on the hydration of CaO and subsequent carbonation at various relative humidities and temperatures.
