Carbonation Process

Mining waste may contain potential minerals that can act as essential feedstock for long-term carbon sequestration through a mineral carbonation process. This study attempts to identify the mineralogical and chemical composition of iron ore mining waste alongside the effects of particle size, temperature, and pH on carbonation efficiency. The samples were found to be alkaline in nature (pH of 6.9–7.5) and contained small-sized particles of clay and silt, thus indicating their suitability for mineral carbonation reactions. Samples were composed of important silicate minerals needed for the formation of carbonates such as wollastonite, anorthite, diopside, perovskite, johannsenite, and magnesium aluminum silicate, and the Fe-bearing mineral magnetite. The presence of Fe2O3 (39.6–62.9%) and CaO (7.2–15.2%) indicated the potential of the waste to sequester carbon dioxide because these oxides are important divalent cations for mineral carbonation. The use of small-sized mine-waste particles enables the enhancement of carbonation efficiency, i.e., particles of <38 µm showed a greater extent of Fe and Ca carbonation efficiency (between 1.6–6.7%) compared to particles of <63 µm (0.9–5.7%) and 75 µm (0.7–6.0%). Increasing the reaction temperature from 80 °C to 150–200 °C resulted in a higher Fe and Ca carbonation efficiency of some samples between 0.9–5.8% and 0.8–4.0%, respectively. The effect of increasing the pH from 8–12 was notably observed in Fe carbonation efficiency of between 0.7–5.9% (pH 12) compared to 0.6–3.3% (pH 8). Ca carbonation efficiency was moderately observed (0.7–5.5%) as with the increasing pH between 8–10. Therefore, it has been evidenced that mineralogical and chemical composition were of great importance for the mineral carbonation process, and that the effects of particle size, pH, and temperature of iron mining waste were influential in determining carbonation efficiency. Findings would be beneficial for sustaining the mining industry while taking into account the issue of waste production in tackling the global carbon emission concerns.

Carbon dioxide has been identified as one of the greenhouse gases responsible for global warming. Several carbon capture and storage technologies have been developed to mitigate the large quantities of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, but these are quite expensive and not easy to implement. Thus, this research analyses the technical and economic feasibility of using calcium leached from cow bone to capture and store carbon dioxide through the mineral carbonation process. The capturing process of carbon dioxide was successful using the proposed technique of leaching calcium from cow shinbone (the tibia) in the presence of HCl by reacting the calcium solution with gaseous carbon dioxide. AAS and XRF analysis were used to determine the concentration of calcium in leached solutions and the composition of calcium in cow bone respectively. The best leaching conditions were found to be 4 mole/L HCl and leaching time of 6 h. Under these conditions, a leaching efficiency of 91% and a calcium conversion of 83% in the carbonation reaction were obtained. Other factors such as carbonation time, agitation rate, and carbonation reaction temperature had little effect on the yield. A preliminary cost analysis showed that the cost to capture 1 ton of CO2 with the proposed technique is about US$ 268.32, which is in the acceptable range of the capturing process. However, the cost of material used and electricity should be reviewed to reduce the preliminary production cost.

Modified Fly Ash

One of the solid waste produced during the combustion of coal are fly ashes. Disposal challenges and environmental consequences are the results of significant process yield and atmospheric emission of fly ashes. The exact chemical composition of FA depends mainly on the type of utilised fuel and combustion conditions. It consists mainly of chemically stable metal oxides, such as Al2O3, Fe2O3, SiO2, CaO, MgO, K2O, Na2O and TiO2, but its toxicity is related to the possible presence of some trace elements, such as As, Hg, Cd, Se and Cr. The chemical and physical properties of fly ash (e.g., particle size distribution, porosity, and surface area) make it suitable as an adsorbent to remove various impurities from process flows such as flue gas stream. Its suitability for capturing mercury from flue gas was experimentally confirmed due to its abundant supply, particle size, bulk density, porosity, chemical composition and low cost. Hence, the use of fly ash as adsorbents and precursors for the production of heavy metal adsorbents is of great practical importance, as it reduces the cost of mercury capture and alleviates the problems associated with the disposal of solid waste. Studies showed that the chemical components present in fly ash additives could stimulate catalytic oxidative capacity, which increases the adsorption of Hg0 oxidation and adsorption of both Hg and CO2. The presented study analysed fly ashes from different zones of the electrostatic precipitator and verified their suitability for removing impurities from flue gases, i.e., mercury and carbon dioxide. The results outlined modified fly ash as having good Hg and CO2 removal capabilities. The adsorption efficiency of Hg reached 92% for Hg and 66% for CO2, while untreated fly ash reached 67% for Hg and 59% for CO2.

Essential oils from pipilongo seeds (Piper tuberculatum) was extracted using supercritical carbon dioxide. The extraction was performed as a function of particle size of the grinded seeds. The highest yield (2,812%) was obtained with the smallest particle size. The chemical composition analysis  of  the  oil  by  GC-MS  led  to  identify  15  compounds,  some  of  which  are  β-elemene, caryophyllene, β-farnesene, neophytadiene and piperine among others. The microbicide activity of the essential oil was determined by Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) assays, showing that the growth of the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis was inhibited, and hence with a possible microbicidal effect, whereas for pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhimurium showed no effect on their growth.

Firing and metallization of brown iron ore from the Ayat deposit were investigated in present research. In order to remove carbon dioxide, carbonates, hydrated moisture and sulfur from the ore and convert goethite to hematite the oxidation firing was carried out in a Nabertherm muffle furnace at temperature of 900 ° C for 10 minutes. The effect of reduction of temperature was studied, by CO gas at 800, 900, 1000, 1050 ° C, for 3hours reduction time. The chemical composition of the initial and fired ore, as well as magnetic and non-magnetic parts of the reduced samples were studied by using an electron microscope. It was observed that at temperature of 800 ° C iron and phosphorus were not reduced. The metallized material with a low phosphorus content (0.1at%) was obtained at temperature of 1050 ° C.

Abstract From this investigation the following conclusions may be drawn. 1. The x-ray results of Bixby and Hauser have been substantiated by chemical analysis and by microscopic examination. The magnesium carbonate productive of highest light transmitting properties is of the type: 5MgO.4CO2.xH2O. The normal carbonate, MgCO3, gives very low transmissions. 2. The best Japanese carbonate studied (sample No. 3) is pure 5MgO.4CO2.xH2O. 3. A domestic carbonate (sample No. 20), which is also pure 5MgO.4CO2.xH2O, is commercially available and produces transparency in rubber compounds equal to that obtained with the Japanese product. 4. Domestic carbonates in general contain more carbon dioxide than is required by a 5MgO.4CO2.xH2O carbonate, and are probably mixtures of this material and of the normal carbonate, MgCO3. 5. Light transmitting properties fall rapidly as the proportion of normal carbonate, MgCO3, rises. 6. Carbonates containing less than enough carbon dioxide to provide a 5MgO.4CO2.xH2O carbonate are probably mixtures of this material and hydrated magnesium oxide, MgO.H2O. 7. In preparing basic carbonates for use in producing high light-transmitting rubber, it is better to produce a material with slightly less carbon dioxide than necessary for a 5MgO.4CO2.xH2O carbonate, rather than more. 8. Particle size is an important factor influencing light transmission, especially when the normal carbonate, MgCO3, is present. Generally speaking, especially in the size ranges encountered in these carbonates, a finely divided MgCO3 will offer greater hindrance to the passage of light than will a larger size material.
