Abstract
A manufacturing process of a concrete product includes: (1) extracting calcium from solids as portlandite; (2) forming a cementitious slurry including the portlandite; (3) shaping the cementitious slurry into a structural component; and (4) exposing the structural component to carbon dioxide sourced from a flue gas stream, thereby forming the concrete product.
Claims12
A manufacturing process of a concrete product, comprising:
- extracting calcium from solids as portlandite;
- forming a cementitious slurry including the portlandite;
- shaping the cementitious slurry into a structural component;
- and
- exposing the structural component to carbon dioxide sourced from a flue gas stream, thereby forming the concrete product.
A manufacturing process comprising:
- introducing, during a first stage, a first gas reagent including carbon dioxide to react with a carbon dioxide-capturing reagent;
- and
- followed by introducing, during a second stage, a second gas reagent including carbon dioxide to react with the carbon dioxide-capturing reagent.
