Abstract
Methods of producing solid CO2 sequestering carbonate materials are provided. Aspects of the methods include introducing a divalent cation source into a flowing aqueous liquid (e.g., a bicarbonate rich product containing liquid) under conditions sufficient such that a non-slurry solid phase CO2 sequestering carbonate material is produced. Also provided are systems configured for carrying out the methods.
Claims15
A method of producing a solid carbonate coated aggregate material, the method comprising:
- providing a continuous reactor comprising a flowing aqueous bicarbonate and/or carbonate containing liquid that comprises seed structure comprising an aggregate;
- and
- introducing a divalent cation source into the flowing aqueous bicarbonate and/or carbonate containing liquid comprising the seed structure comprising an aggregate to produce a solid carbonate coated aggregate comprising a composite structure of a non-slurry solid phase carbonate material and the seed structure in the flowing aqueous bicarbonate and/or carbonate containing liquid.
