Abstract
The invention comprises a product. The product comprises a carbonation aid or a microporous material or a combination thereof and a carbonatable mineral containing one or more of un-carbonated Ca, Mg, Na, K, Fe, wherein the carbonation aid facilitates the conversion of one or more of CaO, MgO, Na2O, K2O or FeO to a carbonate or a CO3 containing mineral in the presence of CO2, wherein the carbonatable mineral has a volume-based mean particle size of less than or equal to 100 μm and wherein one or more of the carbonation aid or a microporous material or a combination thereof or the carbonatable mineral has carbon dioxide bound thereto at a concentration greater than its atmospheric concentration.
Claims18
A product comprising:
- a carbonation aid and a carbonatable mineral containing one or more of un-carbonated Ca, Mg, Na, K, Fe, wherein the carbonation aid facilitates the conversion of one or more of CaO, MgO, Na2O, K2O or FeO to a carbonate or a CO3 containing mineral in the presence of CO2;
- wherein the carbonatable mineral has a volume-based mean particle size of less than or equal to 100 μm;
- and
- wherein one or more of the carbonation aid or the carbonatable mineral has carbon dioxide bound thereto at a concentration greater than its atmospheric concentration.
A product comprising:
- a carbon dioxide sorbent microporous material and a carbonatable mineral containing one or more of un-carbonated Ca, Mg, Na, K, Fe;
- wherein the carbonatable mineral has a volume-based mean particle size of less than or equal to approximately 100 μm;
- and
- wherein one or more of the carbon dioxide sorbent microporous material and the carbonatable mineral have carbon dioxide bound thereto at a concentration greater than its atmospheric concentration.
