Carbonation

R&D Project – Carbonation of mineral and alkaline residues for carbon storage with a view to mitigating climate change.

Sponsor:
Petrobras

Period of execution
2007

Project presentation:
Study of the carbonation processes of industrial residues and mineral sources that are abundant and characteristic of the southern region of Brazil (melt shop slag, thermoelectric ash, civil construction residue, talc, serpentine, basalt and shale) for carbon storage;
Identification of the most relevant process parameters and their influence on the efficiency of the proposed methods with the definition of the systems that proved to be more efficient in achieving the proposed objectives.
