Abstract
Indirect carbonation of steel slag is an effective method for CO2 storage, reducing emissions, and promoting cleaner production in the steel industry. However, challenges remain, such as low Ca2+ leaching rates and slag management complexities arising from variations in mineral compositions. To address this, a high-temperature modification process is proposed to alter the mineral composition and facilitate the synergistic utilization of calcium and iron. This study delves into the effects of various solid waste modifications on the leaching of Ca2+ and the total iron content within steel slag. Results show that high-basicity modified slag forms Ca2(Al, Fe)2O5, reducing calcium leaching. Low-alkalinity modified slag produces calcium-rich aluminum minerals and also reduces the leaching of Ca2+ ions. At a basicity of 2.5, coal gangue, fly ash, and blast slag achieve maximum Ca2+ leaching rates of 88.93%, 89.46%, and 90.17%, respectively, with corresponding total iron contents of 41.46%, 37.72%, and 35.29%. Upgraded coal gangue exhibits a 50.02% increase in calcium leaching and a 15.58% increase in total iron content compared to the original slag. This enhances CO2 fixation and iron resource utilization. Overall, the proposed indirect carbonation and iron enrichment modification offer a novel approach for the resource utilization and environmental stability of steel slag.

Exploring the potential of steel slag waste for carbon sequestration through mineral carbonation: A comparative study of blast-furnace slag and ladle slag. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 351:119835.

Abstract
Steel slag is a by-product of steelmaking which has emerged as a potential CO2 sequestration material due to its high reactivity and abundance. This research investigates the use of steel slag waste for the direct capture of carbon from air and its storage through mineral carbonation. Two abundant wastes, blast-furnace slag (BFS) and ladle slag (LS), were tested for their carbon sequestration potential, and the effects of operational parameters such as reaction time between CO2 and slag waste, temperature, liquid-solid ratio, and pressure on CO2 sequestration were determined. Quantitative and qualitative results reveal that much higher CO2 sequestration was achieved using LS compared to BFS after exposure to CO2 for 1 day at room temperature. By increasing the exposure time to four days, levels of CO2 sequestration increased gradually from 2.71% to 4.19% and 23.46%-28.21% for BFS and LS respectively. Increasing the temperature from 20 ± 2 °C to 90 ± 2 °C positively influenced CO2 sequestration in BFS, resulting in an enhancement from 3.45% to 13.21%. However, the impact on LS was insignificant, with sequestration levels rising from 27.72% to 29.90%. Moreover, better CO2 sequestration was observed for BFS than LS when the liquid-to-solid ratio increased from 3:1 to 4:1, whereupon the sequestration potential reached approximately 15% for BFS and 30% for LS at 90 ± 2 °C. Meanwhile, higher pressure reduced the sequestration potential of slag. The results of this study suggest that there is potential for scaling up the process to industrial applications and contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions in the steelmaking industry.

Abstract
The utilization of steel slag for CO2 sequestration is an effective way to reduce carbon emissions. The reactivity of steel slag in CO2 sequestration depends mainly on material and process parameters. However, there are many puzzles in regard to practical applications due to the different evaluations of process parameters and the lack of investigation of material parameters. In this study, 318 samples were collected to investigate the interactive influence of 12 factors on the carbonation reactivity of steel slag by machine learning with SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP). Multilayer perceptron (MLP), random forest, and support vector regression models were built to predict the slurry-phase CO2 sequestration of steel slag. The MLP model performed well in terms of prediction ability and generalization with comprehensive interpretability. The SHAP results showed that the impact of the process parameters was greater than that of the material parameters. Interestingly, the iron ore phase of steel slag was revealed to have a positive effect on steel slag carbonation by SHAP analysis. Combined with previous literature, the carbonation mechanism of steel slag was proposed. Quantitative analysis based on SHAP indicated that steel slag had good carbonation reactivity when the mass fractions of "CaO + MgO", "SiO2 + Al2O3", "Fe2O3", and "MnO" varied from 50-55%, 10-15%, 30-35%, and <5%, respectively.

Abstract
As a major steel producer, China is now eager to develop feasible solutions to recycle and reuse steel slag. However, due to the relatively poor hydration activity of steel slag, the quantity of steel slag used as a supplemental binder material is limited. In order to improve the cementitious properties of steel slag, the strength and carbonation degree of the high-content steel slag powder-cement-metakaolin composite cementitious material system under CO2 curing conditions were investigated. The compressive strengths of the mortar specimens were tested and compared. The carbonation areas were identified and evaluated. A microscopic analysis was conducted using X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry analysis (TG), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to reveal the chemical mechanisms. The results showed that CO2 curing significantly increased the early strength as the 3D compressive strength of the specimens increased by 47.2% after CO2 curing. The strength of the specimens increased with increasing amounts of metakaolin in a low water-to-binder ratio mixture. The 3D compressive strength of the specimens prepared with 15% metakaolin at a 0.2 water-to-binder ratio achieved 44.2 MPa after CO2 curing. Increasing the water-to-binder ratio from 0.2 to 0.5 and the metakaolin incorporation from 0% to 15% resulted in a 25.33% and 19.9% increase in the carbonation area, respectively. The calcium carbonate crystals that formed during carbonation filled the pores and reduced the porosity, thereby enhancing the strength of the mortar specimens. The soundness of the specimens after CO2 curing was qualified. The results obtained in the present study provide new insight for the improvement of the hydration reactivity and cementitious properties of steel slag powder.

Abstract
Basic oxygen furnace slag (BOFS) is a waste material generated during the steelmaking process and has the potential to harm both the environment and living organisms when disposed of in a landfill. However, the cementitious properties of BOFS might help in utilizing this waste as an alternative material in alkali-activated systems. Therefore, in this study, BOFS and blast furnace slag were activated with varying dosages of NaOH, and the fresh, physical, mechanical, and microstructural properties were determined along with statistical analysis to reach the optimal mix design. The test results showed that an increase in BOFS content decreased compressive and flexural strengths, whereas it slightly increased the water absorption and permeable pores of the tested mortar samples. On the contrary, the increase in NaOH molarity resulted in a denser microstructure, reduced water absorption and permeable pores, and improved mechanical properties. Statistically significant relationships were obtained through response surface methodology with optimal mix proportions, namely, (i) 24.61% BOFS and 7.74 M and (ii) 20.00% BOFS and 8.90 M, which maximize the BOFS content with lower molarity and improve the mechanical properties with lower water absorption and porosity, respectively. The proposed methodology maximizes the utilization of waste BOFS in alkali-activated systems and may promote environmental and economic benefits.

Abstract
Converting industrial wastes into value-added building products in an environmental management strategy is a challenging yet vital component of the industrial process. Steel slag (SS), an industrial waste by-product from the steel-making process, is typically disposed of in landfill which consumes land resources and pollutes the environment. This paper explores the possibility of a closed-loop system to convert steel slag into a cement material through carbonation activation, thereby significantly reducing the amount of steel slag waste sent to landfills across Canada. The production of this cementing material can occur next to the steel mill, utilizing steel slag and carbon dioxide collected on-site to fabricate carbon-negative products. To save energy and allow production to be feasible on an industrial scale, ambient pressure (AP) carbonation is developed to reduce carbon emissions while improving their performance. High pressure (HP) carbonation curing and normal hydration (NH) references were also implemented at the same time to justify the application of AP carbonation in reducing CO2 emission. The results of this study found AP carbonation-activated SS compacts have comparable CO2 uptake (about 7.5 tons CO2/100 tons slag) and mechanically compressive strength values as those subjected to HP carbonation, suggesting that AP could be used to replace HP in carbonation curing to ensure a lower energy input. Additionally, AP seemed to possess as effective carbonation as HP. The studies investigated by multiple techniques including X-ray diffractometer (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopic analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) aim to identify the microstructure development of carbonated SS paste to assess carbonation results. Developed with life cycle assessment (LCA), environmental impact evaluation shows that AP presents a smaller global warming potential (GWP) value than HP. The comparable CO2 sequestration, satisfactory engineering properties, enhanced microstructure and lesser environmental impact in AP carbonation confirm the feasibility of replacing high pressure with extremely low pressure to cure concrete products. The use of AP carbonation for cement material created using steel slag reduces carbon emissions, energy usage, and natural resource consumption.

Synergistic Effects between Carbonation and Cracks in the Hardened Cement Paste. SUSTAINABILITY 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/su14148572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
This paper investigates the synergistic interaction between carbonation and microcracks in hardened cement pastes. Ordinary Portland cement pastes with three different water/cement ratios of 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6, hydrated for 28 days with crack apertures ranging from 10 to 150 μm were subjected to accelerated carbonation in a climate chamber that controls the targeted relative humidity (65 and 75%), CO2 concentration (0.3 vol.% and 1 vol.%) and temperature (20 °C). Mercury intrusion porosimetry, N2-adsorption and thermogravimetry analysis were used to quantify the carbonation-induced changes in pore size distribution, porosity and phase assemblages. Additionally, the changes in crack apertures were followed during carbonation. The results indicated that cracks within the investigated range facilitate the carbonation along the crack surface due to a faster gas diffusion process. The cracks with apertures below 50 μm increase the carbonation depth at least by a factor of two for all studied w/c and environmental conditions. We observed a constant increase in crack openings during carbonation and its linear relationship with the amount of precipitated calcium carbonate. Due to depletion of CH and decalcification of C-S-H close to the sample surface, the crack aperture increase becomes limited. Therefore, the crack apertures do not increase further after the material around the crack is carbonated. It was also found that the densification of the carbonated cement matrix coexists with large capillary pores (>50 nm) or cracks, especially for the low w/c samples. The shift in pore size distribution from about 100 nm towards smaller pores (4.5–50 nm) and a decrease in gel pore fractions after 28 days of carbonation also indicate a simultaneous calcium carbonate precipitation in meso/capillary pores and decalcification of C-S-H at the nanoscale.

Abstract
Carbon capture and storage is a necessary action for the reduction of CO2 emissions, and thereby mitigation of climate change and its impacts. Especially, in India, with its growing fuel needs and very little attention paid towards carbon capture and storage, mineral carbonation technology is a suitable option as it is cost-effective and could be retrofitted to existing plants that emit CO2. Given the development of carbon capture and storage technology, this study attempts direct mineral carbonation of steelmaking slag with flue gas. Response surface methodology was employed to design gas-solid and slurry phase aqueous carbonation experiments. A maximum reduction of about 36.1% was achieved through aqueous carbonation at 61.1 °C, 46.24 bar, and a liquid-to-solid ratio of 14.5, corresponding to a sequestration capacity of 127.4 g of CO2/kg of slag. The temperature was found to be the most vital parameter in both the aqueous and gas-solid carbonation processes. Regression models used to study the carbonation process were found to be statistically significant. The carbonated slag consisted of mineral phases, namely, calcite and dolomite. The results demonstrated the sequestration potential of Indian steelmaking slag with flue gas. Carbonation of steelmaking slag with flue gas poses to be a promising option for the development of carbon capture and storage technology in the country.

Abstract
Alkaline wastes have been the focus of many studies as they act as CO2 sinks and have the potential to offset emissions from mining and steelmaking industries. Passive carbonation of alkaline wastes mimics natural silicate weathering and provides a promising alternative pathway for CO2 capture and storage as carbonates, requiring marginal human intervention when compared to ex-situ carbonation. This review summarizes the extant research that has investigated the passive carbonation of alkaline wastes, namely ironmaking and steelmaking slag, mine tailings and demolition wastes, over the past two decades. Here we report different factors that affect passive carbonation to address challenges that this process faces and to identify possible solutions. We identify avenues for future research such as investigating how passive carbonation affects the surrounding environment through interaction with the biosphere and the hydrosphere. Future research should also consider economic analyses to provide investors with an in-depth understanding of passive carbonation techniques. Based on the reviewed materials, we conclude that passive carbonation can be an important contributor to climate change mitigation strategies, and its potential can be intensified by applying simple waste management practices.

Abstract
Mineral carbonation can simultaneously realize the effective treatment of CO2 and iron and steel slag; thus, it is of great significance for the low carbon and sustainable development of iron and steel industry. In this article, the researches of mineral carbonation process using iron and steel slag as feedstock are reviewed, and the carbonation reaction mechanism and the parameters affecting the reaction rate and carbonation degree are analyzed. Furthermore, the effect of different enforcement approaches, such as ultrasonic enhancement, mixed calcination, microbial enhancement, and cyclic coprocessing on mineral carbonation reaction, is introduced. The additional effects of mineral carbonation, such as solving the problem of poor volume stability of steel slag, weakening the leaching of heavy metal ions, and reducing the pH of the leachate, are also illustrated. Moreover, issues related to mineral carbonation technology that should be emphasized upon soon, such as the production of valuable products, use of industrial wastewater, aqueous phase recycling use, multiparameter coupling analysis, and research on the properties of carbonation residues, are also discussed, which contribute some perspectives to the future development of mineral carbonation of iron and steel slag.

Wei C, Dong J, Zhang H, Wang X. Kinetics model adaptability analysis of CO 2 sequestration process utilizing steelmaking slag and cold-rolling wastewater. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 404:124094. [PMID: 33053471 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.124094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2020] [Revised: 09/18/2020] [Accepted: 09/23/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Better adaptive kinetics model for CO2 sequestration utilizing wastes in steelmaking plant has a big significance for establishing green out-circulating network system. This work investigated the effect of temperature, L/S ratio and cold-rolling wastewater concentration on carbonation degree in basic oxygen furnace slag and CRW carbonation process, then their kinetics was discussed by surface coverage model and shrinking core model, respectively, in order to evaluate their adaptability and accuracy. Furthermore, CO2 sequestration intensifying factor was originally proposed for considering the carbonation depth, through comparing diffusion coefficient of CO2 between water carbonation and wastewater carbonation. The results showed that carbonation conversion increased as temperature and CRW concentration increased except for L/S ratio, and the maximum carbonation could reach 41.499 ± 1.240%. Because higher prediction error existed in surface coverage model, the shrinking core model had a better adaptability and accuracy for analyzing carbonation process in autoclave. Meanwhile, the CO2 sequestration intensifying factor was 1.6 times as big as carbonation process in distilled water as a result of DCO2 value. CO2 sequestration reaction in our work was controlled by calcium diffused because of DCO2 (0.700-0.976 × 10-4 cm2 s-1) and DCa (0.935-1.149 × 10-5 cm2 s-1). The results above will be helpful for us to better comprehend the reaction kinetics at micro-scale, when the idea of triple wastes self-circulation system network will be established to industrial application.

Abstract
The iron and steel industry is an energy-intensive sector, and large amounts of waste/ by-products are generated during the steelmaking process, such as CO2, metallurgical slag, and wastewater. Enhancing the development and deployment of treating waste from the steelmaking process will be environment friendly and resource-saving. Capturing CO2 by steel slag (SS) via mineralization is regarded to be an excellent choice due to the high basicity of the slag. In this paper, recent research on the steel slag-based carbon capture and storage (SS-CCS) by mineralization was summarized. Three routes of SS-CCS are compared including, direct gas-solid carbonation, direct aqueous carbonation, and indirect carbonation, respectively. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects for further development of the SS-CCS were discussed.

Abstract
Legacy iron (Fe) and steel wastes have been identified as a significant source of silicate minerals, which can undergo carbonation reactions and thus sequester carbon dioxide (CO2). In reactor experiments, i.e., at elevated temperatures, pressures, or CO2 concentrations, these wastes have high silicate to carbonate conversion rates. However, what is less understood is whether a more "passive" approach to carbonation can work, i.e., whether a traditional slag emplacement method (heaped and then buried) promotes or hinders CO2 sequestration. In this paper, the results of characterization of material retrieved from a first of its kind drilling program on a historical blast furnace slag heap at Consett, U.K., are reported. The mineralogy of the slag material was near uniform, consisting mainly of melilite group minerals with only minor amounts of carbonate minerals detected. Further analysis established that total carbon levels were on average only 0.4% while average calcium (Ca) levels exceeded 30%. It was calculated that only ∼3% of the CO2 sequestration potential of the >30 Mt slag heap has been utilized. It is suggested that limited water and gas interaction and the mineralogy and particle size of the slag are the main factors that have hindered carbonation reactions in the slag heap.

Abstract
Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is taking the lead as a means for mitigating climate change. It is considered a crucial bridging technology, enabling carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels to be reduced while the energy transition to renewable sources is taking place. CCS includes a portfolio of technologies that can possibly capture vast amounts of CO2 per year. Mineral carbonation is evolving as a possible candidate to sequester CO2 from medium-sized emissions point sources. It is the only recognized form of permanent CO2 storage with no concerns regarding CO2 leakage. It is based on the principles of natural rock weathering, where the CO2 dissolved in rainwater reacts with alkaline rocks to form carbonate minerals. The active alkaline elements (Ca/Mg) are the fundamental reactants for mineral carbonation reaction. Although the reaction is thermodynamically favored, it takes place over a large time scale. The challenge of mineral carbonation is to offset this limitation by accelerating the carbonation reaction with minimal energy and feedstock consumption. Calcium and magnesium silicates are generally selected for carbonation due to their abundance in nature. Industrial waste residues emerge as an alternative source of carbonation minerals that have higher reactivity than natural minerals; they are also inexpensive and readily available in proximity to CO2 emitters. In addition, the environmental stability of the industrial waste is often enhanced as they undergo carbonation. Recently, direct mineral carbonation has been investigated significantly due to its applicability to CO2 capture and storage. This review outlines the main research work carried out over the last few years on direct mineral carbonation process utilizing steel-making waste, with emphasis on recent research achievements and potentials for future research.
